Comments

What a fine, fascinating and well-written article. Even moving, with the detail of his funeral. Comments soon. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:07, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

I really can find very little to say in the way of needed improvements.

• Peltigera canina is the Dog Lichen, so we might as well give its English name (and it certainly deserves its own article).

• Done, and stubbed an article for the lichen. Esculenta (talk)

• The Swedish filosofie kandidat is mis-spelt.

• Fixed. Esculenta (talk) 18:21, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

• Dissertation need not be wikilinked.

• Perhaps, but would prefer to keep this link; at the FAC for Edvard August Vainio, I was asked to w-link this word ... Esculenta (talk) 18:21, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

• Suggest we repeat "Uppsala" rather than saying "It was at the [unnamed] university" as it's some sentences away from the previous mention.

• Done. Esculenta (talk) 18:21, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

• Suggest we gloss "docent" with "(reader)".

• I think "reader" might be confusing to those not familiar with UK-based academia; instead I glossed with "(an academic appointment below the rank of Professor) "

• "floristic papers on the lichens" - suggest we delete "floristic", it won't help the reader.

• Ok, done. Esculenta (talk) 18:21, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

• "In the obituary she wrote about Degelius" -> "In her obituary of Degelius".

• That's better, changed. Esculenta (talk) 18:21, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

• Askim should be wikilinked at the first instance, not the next.

• Done. Esculenta (talk) 18:21, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

• Suggest we gloss Askim at first instance with ", a district of Gothenburg" as there's one in Norway as well.

• Sure, done. Esculenta (talk) 18:21, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

• You might like to use |author-mask= to avoid repeating "Degelius, G." all the way down the list of works.

• Done. Esculenta (talk) 18:21, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

• It'd also be nice to add |ref=none to the works to avoid the Harv warnings that pop up.

• Added. Esculenta (talk) 18:21, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

• I know what Graphis scripta is but many readers won't. It'd be nice to gloss it with something like "the journal Graphis scripta, named for a species of lichen". A brilliant name, by the way.

• Now glossed as suggested. Esculenta (talk) 18:21, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

• Why don't we have a picture of Degelia in the 'Eponymy' section?

• I may end up doing that, but am still hunting for an image of a species that was named after him. Esculenta (talk) 18:21, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

That's about it from me. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:29, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to review; I hope the changes are satisfactory. Esculenta (talk) 18:21, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Super, it's a pleasure to see such good things being brought to GA, which standard this article has certainly reached. I do hope you'll take the time to pick an article or two from the GAN queue to review! All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:45, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
