Talk:Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides

Untitled
My article was about Lactuca Canadensis. To contribute to this article I would add a subheading for taxonomy and distribution. There is not very much information about the plant and it is important to expand on several aspects of the plant.

For my plant Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides I will use the headers: Introduction, Description, Taxonomy, Distribution and Habitat, Uses, References, History, and I will also add a section about medical uses. When doing my research that was the main thing I found about Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides was used for. There is abundant information on that. I will also go into detail about the taxonomy of the plant, including a phylogenetic tree with its divergence. It is also important to note where the plant is found, state, region, and climate.EnsleyHydroSib (talk) 17:21, 31 October 2016 (UTC) I will create a TaxoboxEnsleyHydroSib (talk) 17:21, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Peer-Review
1. You did a very good job by providing each header with reliable information. Something that really impressed me from the article was the information that you put for medical uses, I thought that was very interesting. Your phrases clearly described the headers that you were talking about.

2. One change that I suggest you can make is including some sort of citation for the first paragraph under the introduction header. This change can be an improvement for your article because by doing this you can avoid any sort of unintentional plagiarism.

3. Also something that you could consider for the improvement of your article is that under the header medical uses instead of using a "website states" you could refer to that as "research done by _____ states ____" or maybe even the author of the page, that way the information provided would sound, even more, professional. Other than that I see no other changes that should be made since your article is very good.

4. I noticed that some of the things about your article could be applicable to my own article. Those things include, the superdivision, subkingdom, infrakingdom, division, subdivision, order, and genus of my plant. All of these topics give me the opprtunity to add more information into my headers since I could barely find information about my plant. 5. You were very, very close to meet the word count for this article, way closer than I was for sure, you only need about 50 more words. GREAT JOB!VioletRoses27 (talk) 05:20, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
