[edit] GA review

Problems

• 1a prose
  • float (noun, under Description) - what does it mean?
    • Fixed.
  • Its filiform leaf-like structures (often called leaves for lack of a better term) - it's not clear what part of the plant this senstence is about.
    • Hopefully explained more clearly.
  • Although both early discoveries of populations in Massachusetts and New York have been met with skepticism when possibly regarding them as northern range expansions of the species - "when" is used strangely.
    • Sentence was important to an earlier version of the page before I expanded on the New York paragraph, so I simply removed it. Think it flows better without it, anyway.
• 2a references
  • first paragraph of Invasiveness - reference?
    • 1st paragraph was a sort of "introduction" to the invasiveness section, references added from material below it.
      • Oh, you're right.
  • it only says perennial in the lead. Add a sentance about how long it lives in Description, or reference perennial in the lead.
    • Mention of perennial added to description. There's no verifiable information on how long the plants live, but they survive from year-to-year by producing those tuber-like structures, hence perennial.

Otherwise it is GA level. A photograph wouldn't hurt though. Narayanese (talk) 15:50, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. I'll have the time tomorrow to address the issues. A photo would be nice, but a lengthy search revealed no PD photos and it's the wrong time of the year for me to create my own (but I have plans in the works to locate it this spring).

Hope I addressed all of the issues above. I left some notes on how I approached each one above. If you have any further comments before you pass it, let me know! Cheers, Rkitko ^(talk) 00:29, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Yup, everything fixed. Nice article, it was interesting to read (I'm used to thinking about carnivorous plants as poor things barely able to survive). Narayanese (talk) 01:02, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
