Polytrichum commune

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
When looking for topics for this exercise, I remembered one of the mosses that I was fascinated by in my childhood. Since it grows both in B.C. and my home country, The Netherlands, I was interested what an article could look like that was written by people all over the world.

Evaluate the article
This article has no Wikipedia quality warnings.

The lead section of the article is written quite well. It is short but it provided all the general information about the plant.

The content of the article is good, however, there is few information on the distribution, ecology or relation with humans in the body of the article; it focusses mainly on the internal morphology and physiology. These last two sections could also be merged.

The article doesn't seem to be biased. It is likely reliable, and its information is based on five reputable sources. All references are in order.

The writing is a bit dull and mostly just a summation of facts, but this is acceptable due to the nature of the subject.

The images are nice and clear; however, the article would benefit from the addition of a distribution map or a schematic drawing.

Nothing happens on the talk page, except from a ridiculous request from someone who clearly doesn't know much about mosses; this suggests however that this page was likely written by a very small group of people, maybe just one.

Overall impression: The article looks good, but more information/media could be added, after which some restructuring should be done.
