Alloxylon pinnatum[edit]
Smaller than some articles I've worked on, it's about as complete as it can possibly be. I will answer queries quickly. I reckon it's within striking distance of FA-hood. Have at it.... Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:59, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
Comments
- Was just reading my comments in your last FAC ... when I was talking about the odds that people would assign meaning or something, I meant that that's the question I wanted you to meditate on to solve the problem, it wasn't meant judgmentally. - Dank (push to talk) 23:51, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
- Support on prose per my standard disclaimer. These are my edits. - Dank (push to talk) 14:29, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
Support and comments from Jim[edit]
Happy to support, but a couple of niggles, other than the annoying but unactionable fractional inches Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:27, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
- Why is glabrous (smooth) better than just smooth?
- It means "smooth and hairless"...actually why not just say it.... Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:50, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
- 500 kg per cubic metre— either give the imperial conversion or replace with a density
- Earwig's tool shows a no sign of copyright violation.

Comments form FunkMonk[edit]
- I'll review this soon. At first glance, there are some short sections and paragraphs hanging alone with little content by the end of the article. Maybe it's just me who finds such layout a bit distracting, but could some of these be merged or placed together? For example, status kinda looks like it could group well with cultivation (both sections are about human interaction in a sense), and the short ecology sentence could maybe go with distribution?

- Any reason why you're inconsistent in whether you refer to the subject by the common or scientific name?
- There is also some inconsistency in whether you spell out the binomial name or abbreviate it.
- Could anthesis and pinnate be explained?
- "arranged in a corymb or raceme" What is any of this?
- "splitting of Gondwana" I'd add "the supercontinent Gondwana", most readers may not know what this is by name.
- Maybe it's just me, but I can't stand when images interfere with the headers, could be prevented in the second image by right-aligning, but no big deal.
- "walked 300 km" Convert.
- Why is it near threatened? What are the threats?
- Closing note: This candidate has been promoted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FAC/ar, and leave the {{featured article candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. Sarastro1 (talk) 21:30, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
