Tone
Good use of tone generally with good references. A sentence or two that could read more like an encyclopedia, ie. "Considering how large and old harvestable pear trees grow in order to get good crops..." should be changed. This is a harder section to move information to as it has good information already. When migrating your paragraph I think you'll have to add sentences to the existing info instead of moving your paragraph as one. Bryantlib (talk) 03:37, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

How to repeat a citation
Hello Kady, to repeat a citation you unfortunately have to use source formatting not visual formatting. You'll have to switch to 'Edit Source' in your talk page, to see the html coding in my explanation. A reference is cited in source formatting as:. You have to give the reference a 'name' and then you can use it repeatedly. The steps are as follows: First time you reference a material, do this in Visual Editing (switch by clicking the pencil icon on the right hand side) and enter a doi, name, etc. Then switch to Source Editing and find the reference you want to repeatedly source. It will appear like this ; "name" the reference by adding a descriptive name to the first part of the reference to  CITATION INFORMATION, then to reference it again later in the paragraph in source formatting put  after the next sentence you want to reference. Look at your sandbox in source formatting to see how I changed the reference in your paragraph and search "WP:REFNAME" in Wikipedia if you need further explanation or contact me.

Before making the paragraph 'live'
Remember to work with group members when uploading to the live page to ensure you dont upload the same information. Also consider how you will insert your information into the existing cider page. You may have to break up your sentences or not include everything depending on the information that is already on the page.

PROOFREAD your paragraph before you make your information 'live'.

Before you post make sure one person in your group created a new section on the Cider apple talk page you are uploading to, letting the people watching the page know you are making edits. And also make sure you summarize your final change, when submitting to the live page. If you don't remember how to do these steps, re-watch the tutorial. :)Bryantlib (talk) 15:34, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

content
“p. Pyraster and the domestic pear p. communis” Make sure to use proper binomial nomenclature. Pyrus should be spelled out at first use and then abbreviated. The species name does not get capitalized.

Include the binomial name for the fire blight pathogen and link to the fire blight Wiki page.

“These difficulties, along with demand for perry pears having (until recently) taken a decline, had prompted a national collection of perry pear cultivars to be gathered, housed, and cared for at the Three Counties Agricultural Showground at Malvern in Worcestershire, UK to maintain genetic resources[6].”

State whether this resource is still in operation and link to its website or Wiki page.

Also, make note of similar collections in other countries, such as the USDA collection. Ciderprof1 (talk) 16:55, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

how to hyperlink words
This tells you how to link in source formatting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial/Wikipedia_links#How_to_link If you want to link in visual editing if you highlight the word and select the hyperlink symbol (linking chains) it shows you a list of wikipedia articles to link to, and normally the first one is correct. The 'search pages' tab in this section is for internal wikipedia link. Don't get too stressed :)
