 * Have altered list of province names, into alphabetical order. Re:photo a lot of the Russian irises (sadly) do not have any photos in wikicommons, unless seen in Botanical Gardens.DavidAnstiss (talk) 17:28, 19 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg New reviewer needed; the previous reviewer hasn't returned in nearly three weeks. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:24, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I've returned to look at it more than once but the trouble is that, while the article might still be technically ok now, I still think it looks fairly awful. But I didn't like to just grumble again though and couldn't think what to say.  I'd therefore appreciate another reviewer taking a look to provide a fresh opinion.  Perhaps Casliber or Cwmhiraeth could please take a look as they do lots of species articles and so may be able to suggest a constructive way forward, which I'm not seeing. Andrew D.

 * As far as I can see the article complies with DYK criteria; it is certainly amply referenced. The style and use of English is a bit stilted, but I see no reason to reject it on that account. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:49, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks for the second opinion. I don't want to be a curmudgeon so I'll pass it now. Andrew D. (talk) 17:59, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I have rejigged it to make it flow more prose-wise. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 18:10, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
