6/6/19 Evaluated Articles

6/9/19 Article evaluation- Colony(biology) / references are getting outdated/ more details on social colonies / more details on biofilm/ no link to reference #10/ via "talk" it's looking like this article is in need of a lot of work. sources are not adding up, article is out of order. My question for the "talk" would be, if the publisher isn't going to fix the issues can the matters be fixed by others? If the issues were fixed would the talk comments be removed so a reader would know that they were reading a creditable article? ~

Frankia can resist low concentration of heavy metals such as, Cu, Co, and Zn. Frankia could be a great advantage for degraded soil. Degraded soil is known as soil that is heavy metal rich or nutrient depleted due to a drought. Frankia is a nitrogen-fixed organism, explaining why it is able to resist heavy metals.

Frankia is a gram-positive Bacteria that is found on the roots of plants. The fact that Frankia is gram-positive means that the bacteria is made up of thick cell walls made out of protein called peptidologlycan. This helps with the resistance of the heavy metals that may be in the degraded soil.

Frankia does not tolerate temperature well, it's showing that it grows best at around 30 degrees Celsius with an environment pH between 6.5 to 7. These facts shows that Frankia is very sensitive to it's environment. Though Frankia would not be suitable for all agriculture it does demonstrate possibilities in select areas, or in temperature controlled environments.

07/10/19- Llahaye reviewing Frankia:

How is the grammar (spelling, punctuation, capitalization, appropriate vocabulary)? The spelling seems to be in order, but there are a few words that don't quite fit right or just need a little bit of correcting. "Proven" instead of "proving" should be used. When you're talking about how "it's" showing something, it's not very clear what "it" is. Instead you could say "research says" or something along that nature.

Are all species names properly formatted? No, there are some that are not in italics.

Are there three distinct paragraphs ? Yes

Is each interesting fact elaborated on enough (3-4 sentences at least)? Maybe a little bit more explanation about what environment (specifically) Frankia does best in.

Do any of the paragraphs leave you with further questions? Same as above question

Are the niche and gram stain of the organism mentioned? Yes

Are 3 sources used throughout the contribution? Yes

Are citations properly formatted? Yes

Do the links to citations work when clicked on? Yes

Is the contribution written from a neutral tone? Yes

Is the contribution written for a lay-audience (someone who might come across this article in the middle of the night on a wiki-binge)? Yes 7/19/2019 Reply to comments:

Thank you very much for your input. I find your comments very help and I'll differently be taking your advice when I submit my final post. I feel foolish for forgetting the italics...

To Allison:

A couple of changes I would suggest to improve your contribution- in the first paragraph you say " Frankia is a nitrogen-fixing plan" I think the word plan was supposed to be something else - microbe? organism? not sure exactly what you meant there.. In your first and third paragraph you use the pharse "research is showing.." and "When researching" I would make these sentences into statements instead like " Frankia can resist low concentrations of heavy metals in soils like Cu,...". This sounds a bit more neutral. Also along the same lines in your last paragraph you use the term "proves" as a scientist I was always taught never to use the word "proves" and instead use terms like "shows" "demonstrates" "implies" these words give us more wiggle room when jumping from data to conclusions.
