Hi Chiswick Chap, I'll be the reviewer of this article (if you don't mind:) ). This is a nice article, so this review should be fairly quick.  750h+ &#124;   Talk  10:59, 27 March 2024 (UTC)


 * : Many thanks. Could you please spot-check some sources as this is now mandatory for all GA reviews: it could be challenged otherwise. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:19, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Right I forgot about this. I'll complete it soon.  750h+ &#124;   Talk  13:24, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Concerns

 * There are a few single-sentence paragraphs. Can these be fixed? If not, considering this is quite a short article, I think we can dismiss this issue.  750h+ &#124;   Talk  11:06, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Closed up.


 * "Its oval leaves, alternately arranged, are 4 to 10 cm (1.6 to 3.9 in) long and have crenulate margins." maybe alter to "which are alternately arranged".  750h+ &#124;   Talk  11:19, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Edited.


 * I'm Australian, and there's no "Use _____ English" tag, so when it says "each delimited by a membrane, and containing many juice-filled vesicles and usually a few seeds (pips)", the first comma wouldn't be needed. Also I think you can just change "usually a few seeds (pips)" to "usually a few pips", but link "pips" to seed.
 * Removed comma, and linked.

Spotcheck

 * Reference 43 (PDF) supports sentence "The cultivar rapidly spread to other countries, but being seedless it had to be propagated by cutting and grafting" ✅
 * Reference 13 (journal) and 14 (PDF) support the statement, the journal spelt it as "pummelo", not "pomelo", which briefly confused me, so ✅
 * "Spanish travelers introduced the sweet orange to the American continent. On his second voyage in 1493, Christopher Columbus may have planted the fruit on Hispaniola." is supported perfectly by Reference 6. ✅
 * Passing the spot check.  750h+ &#124;   Talk  13:37, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Comment

 * Other than those, I really can't find anything else to complain about. If you can, address the aforesaid issue and I'll be happy to pass the article as good.  750h+ &#124;   Talk  11:06, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Many thanks. Those are all done. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:26, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Concluded the spot check, passing as GA. Well done!  750h+ &#124;   Talk  13:38, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
