Sources

I am gathering information on Zoysia japonica. I have found these books to be good sources: Sika Deer: Biology and Management of Native and Introduced Populations, Turfgrass Biology, Genetics, and Breeding, Turfgrass Maintenance Reduction Handbook: Sports, Lawns, and Golf, Turfgrasses: Their Management and Use in the Southern Zone, Second Edition, Genetics, Genomics and Breeding of Forage Crops, Handbook of Turfgrass Management and Physiology, Fundamentals of Turfgrass Management, Organic Lawn Care: Growing Grass the Natural Way, and International Turf Management. Does anyone have any other suggestions for sources that I could look into? --Ivizulis (talk) 19:28, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Peer Review

Hi Ilze! This article is really informative and professional so far. I think you do a great job of replicating the natural feeling of other Wikipedia pages! One area that your article really shines is your sources - this is a long list of all highly credible and unbiased sources, and they really reflect the nature of the sources that we are supposed to choose (based on the training modules). Also, your organization is very clear and makes reading your article easy. It makes sense that the article flows from morphology to climate to cultivation to cultivars and uses, and by highlighting all of these areas I gain a lot of insight about this plant. The lead covers all the areas mentioned in the article and summarizes in a way that adds to the reading experience. Also, the weight of each section is roughly equal which is important in a Wikipedia article. However, if you wanted to improve this coverage even more you might choose to add more information to the cultivation section! I noticed a couple of small grammar errors under the morphology section: "it's pedicles" and "it's high tolerance" should both be replaced with "its". Also, I would suggest linking to Wikipedia articles to give more context to the words "pedicles" and "internodes". Those links can be found here: and Great work so far, and I look forward to checking back once it's published! --Hfaith (talk) 19:02, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Comparative question

They are coarser, and have the ability to spread faster.

Coarser than what? Faster than what? --Calton | Talk 01:26, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
