Improved to Good Article status by Frank R 1981 (talk). Nominated by Cwmhiraeth (talk) at 17:56, 9 October 2016 (UTC).
The article is long enough. It was promoted to Good Article status a little less than seven days before the nomination. The article is neutral and has inline citations. Only one of the sources is in English, so I accepted the other sources in good faith. The English source says that there is high-elevation jalca above 3000 m, but the article says that there are high-elevation grasslands above 3000 m. I do not know what jalca means. The source does not seem to verify that there are 741 species of vascular plants. There do not seem to be any copyright violations, but one sentence seemed to closely paraphrase a sentence in the source, so I changed it. The hook is short enough and cited. Is the quote a translation? The nominator has done QPQ. There are some issues that need to be addressed. Gulumeemee (talk) 06:56, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
- @Frank R 1981: Can you help with these queries? According to the Spanish language Wikipedia, "Jalca is a natural region or ecoregion own Peruvian Andes, defined in its broadest sense as mountains or shrub meadow, wet or humid, located between the snowy mountains and the Andean forest (Yungas) of Peru." I agree that the source cited does not state that there are 741 species of vascular plants, but it lists all the plants present, and at a rough estimate, the number seems about right.

- The source lists pteridophytes, gymnosperms, monocotyledons and dicotyledons, which are all vascular plants. 741 seems reasonable, but I am not sure if it is the exact number of species listed in the source. Gulumeemee (talk) 04:04, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
- Without wishing to actually count the species listed, I have altered the text of the article to "over 700", which I think is accurate. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:59, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

- The number of species of vascular plants in the site was counted with the help of an excel table, but keeping it as over 700 species is a better choice. Jalca are a type of high altitude grasslands in the Andes. Frank R 1981 (talk) 16:54, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
The article seems ready now. Gulumeemee (talk) 03:06, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
