My sandbox
editThe article that I chose talks about Serotiny. All the content in the article is relevant to the main topic. The article has an unbiased tone and there is no personal opinion involved. The definition of the term "Serotiny" is given clearly in the beginning of the article. The reference links are valid and accessible. They support the viewpoints in the original article. The reference materials are relatively new (1960 to 2014) and they are neutral and academic. The "Serotiny" article was discussed under Botany and Ecology groups. Overall, the article is good and conveys lots of useful information. However, The structure of the article needs some modification. Currently it has four sections and they are "Fire-mediated serotiny", "Evolution", "See also", and "References". Only the first two sections are useful. In my opinion, new sections such as "Definition" or "Description" can be added. Also, because "Serotiny" is not a well-known term, it will be better to add more images into the article (currently the article only has one image).

editI chose wildfire as my article to edit. I edited the surface fire part to add more description. Previously it was :"Crawling or surface fires are fueled by low-lying vegetation such as leaf and timber litter, debris, grass, and low-lying shrubbery." It was too simple and lacked of any citation. Thus I edited it and it became :"Crawling or surface fires are fueled by low-lying vegetation on the forest floor such as leaf and timber litter, debris, grass, and low-lying shrubbery. This kind of fire often burns at a relatively lower temperature (less than 400 °C (752 °F)) and spreads at a relatively slower rate.[1]" I added one new link and a reliable citation source.
