Peer Review
Your article is looking great – covering key themes, such as colony morphology, pathophysiology, and ecology. In regards to the general description section, it might be worth considering to remove that section altogether and create an opening introductory paragraph with that information. In addition, it might be worthwhile to include a taxonomy box near the start of your article. For the pathophysiology section, it might be interesting to include an image of what the “distinct leaf spots and blights” would look like (if possible). Another recommendation would be to write the article as if it were an encyclopedia entry and write it for a general, broad purpose (avoid writing dates?). Also, I was surprised to find that citation number 7 was missing! However, your article seems to be coming along nicely – I cannot wait to see what the final product will look like.Student.richard (talk) 21:38, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Hey KassF!

A really good start on your assignment, I found it very easy to follow.

Here are a few suggestions I have:
 * italicize the name (S.rostrata)
 * in pathophysiology section your last sentence is written twice
 * I didn't see any information in regards to identification of this fungus, which tests could be used? or what agar medium can it grow on? Do you know of any nutrients or vitamins it requires for growth? maybe something you could look into.
 * link the infections/diseases the fungus is causing to existing wiki pages, you can do so by placing  around the word.
 * also, citations should be placed prior to punctuation marks

Overall, great work!

Hi KassF!

The one thing just quickly glancing over your draft is that I notice a lack of ecology when it comes to your fungus. You have what it is, but not so much a history or where it comes from. Zhmurcha already noted indentification of the fungus so I wont touch on that. I'd recommend a couple of Prof James links out to find ecology; or rather go and talk to him. I'm not sure if you went to tutorial but he has a vast majority of books regarding the fungi, especially in identification and potentially some ecology. Another slight addition is the presence of treatment options for your fungus. Also, you talk about what it causes but not so much how it causes it; maybe you should look into the literature a little bit more.

But, other then that; formatting seems well and good. The only thing I'd add is that box that describes the name and class of fungi; just go into someone elses sandbox and copy and paste it into yours and fill it out with the information you find!

Good luck, Ethan
