Talk:Assisted migration of forests in North America

Few comments for GA
Hi @Mottezen! It's great you've nominated this for GA and worked on it so much. I don't have time to review this I think, but I thought I give some pointers to make you more easily pass.


 * You're quoting a lot of scientists. We typically don't like quoting uncontroversial things on Wikipedia, but prefer paraphrasing (in what we call Wikivoice). Try to keep quotes under like 5% of the text and you're fine
 * I've deleted quite a few instances of the word "recent", as this becomes quickly outdated (see MOS:RELTIME)
 * You're using the word actually, which is a Manual of Style/Words to watch
 * On my computer, some of the images are SANDWICH ed, which may pose a problem for some people with accessibility needs per ACCIM
 * Defusing the controversy feels odd to me as section title. Not sure if it's applicable, but maybe 'acceptance' would be a better title.. FemkeMilene (talk) 20:40, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I got a bit confused, I meant to direct this more to our newer editor (Cbarlow), instead of the nominator, who probably knows these things already :). FemkeMilene (talk) 20:46, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
 * For the title "Defusing the controversy", I'm not sure there is a better title for the content it covers: communication strategies by assisted migration practitioners to... defuse the controversy. Or maybe more accurately, defuse the controversies. Indeed, think a bigger problem is that this section, along with the one above and below it, discusses both the name debate as well as the ethical/practical debate regarding assisted migration. I think some work has to be done to rewrite these sections to separate these two issues in two different sections. Also, the coverage on the practical/ethical debate needs to be expanded.

Decide on spelling: US Forest Service or U.S. Forest Service
@Mottezen This is User CBarlow, and this is my first post on this particular talk page, so I hope I have typed in the correct way to alert Mottezen. Almost all the references say U.S. rather than US Forest Service, and most of the text does too. So if you agree we should ensure all text is U.S., I will do a find for US Forest Service and insert the periods. As I recall from a "Find" I did, I think there are 5 or 6. Let me know.

Yes please go ahead it’s important to have a coherent spelling of the U.S. Forest Service Mottezen (talk) 03:11, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Section on genetic maladaption to climate?
Would adding a section on genetic maladaptation to climate (i.e. what's happen to local tree population growth and survival in the absence of assisteg migration/gene flow) be of use in this article.

Figure's such at Fig. 1 (or a Fig 1 and Fig 2 mashup) on [this page](https://reforestationtools.org/climate-adapted-seed-tool/) could be an easy-to undertand visual aid. Josephaestewart (talk) 22:01, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
