a)

(1) You have done really great research on your taxon! I like how you started out with how Sphenostylis stenocarpa is used for food purposes in Africa, and then went on to show how some of the health problems associated with the plant could be remediated from the ways listed within the research that you cited.

(2) I think that the flow within your paper is great, and you have transitioned very well from each of your ideas.

b)

(1) I think that the sentence structure and grammar within this paper is really good. One thing you could look into is separating your paper into separate paragraphs, to further distinguish each idea.

(2) One small grammar error that I found was in the sentence, "However, and some health problems have been discovered in relation to consumption of these beans including flatulence, stomach cramps, diarrhea and dizziness." If you take out the word "and" from it, it'll be good!

(3) You have also properly italicized and capitalized the scientific name of your taxon.

c)

(1) You have five references, and they are all from scientific journals! The format of the references is also correct, and you have placed the in-text citations in their appropriate spots.

1. I found the article to be very insightful. My overall impression of the article is that it is about yam nutrition, and the ways that it can be cooked.

2. I think that there is a lot of supporting research for this assignment, and I think that is a positive aspect to look at when examining the credibility of Wikipedia entries.

3. I found only two grammatical errors in the article. I'll list them here: a. "replenishing soil it is grown in of its nitrogen"-->Maybe check the sentence structure and make sure the subject lines up with the preposition here. b. "However, and"--> just take away the word "and" and you'll be fine.

4. I like that there are five distinct references and they are all from scientific journals, so that helps your credibility as well.

5. The only other thing I would maybe improve on is dividing this entry into multiple paragraphs instead of one giant dense paragraph. This will not only make it less confusing for the reader, but it will also outline the different parts of your entry. Right now all the information is pushed together in one paragraph.
