Hello! I just read through your article and it has a good foundation but a few pointers/ minor details I would like to add are: 1) include a small introduction summarizing the main characteristics of your species at the top of your page as a precursor to the specific details of your article. 2) Under the growth and morphology section, you’ve accidently referenced to “(fig. 99A)” as part of your facts. In another minor mistake, “3.0 to 3.5 µ.” You’ve accidently missed the “m”. 3) Under physiology, I would recommend that you characterize your species based on the temperature it grows under ie thermophilic as it thrives under 37 °C. 4) Under Habitat & Ecology, I think you should include specific countries that are prevalent with this species as a follow-up with the thriving under humid & warm fact. In your last fact, you also forgot to use italics for your species. 5) Disease section: I think you need to be more specific in the pathogenicity + treatment of your species. How does this impact humans? Overall, I think you did good. There were some really minor errors as I’ve mentioned above. I think you may have had problems in formatting citations hence, why there are two references. Since I’m doing my article on P. italicum, I found the following books below really helpful for me. I hope I was helpful and good luck !

Hi I read through your page. Good materials to start with I think. However, I have few suggestions for you to make it better!

I think you should go through the book reference list that Prof. provided us. (It is under week 3). I suggest find all the books and gather bits of information regarding your organism. That way, you will have more rigid information. Also you should try to search your organism in "pubmed" or "web of science." They have good amount of researches, both old and recent, which may help your page to have more interesting facts. Probably when you find some very interesting or unique aspects of your organism and people have done lots of researches on that topic, make a new heading and put the information under. I think you have limited amount of source by now. However, if you go through all the reference that Prof. gave us and also pubmed kind of websites, you will find much more facts! I look forward to know more about your organism! Good job! Janghaya (talk) 02:21, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi there,

I looked through your sandbox about your species and here are some suggestions for improving your final articles in the following.

For History and taxonomy section:
 * Please search on Wikipedia with specific key words before you linked the page, such as “T.P Haslam” in this section.

For Growth and morphology section:
 * Please include the reproduction method (sexual or asexual) of your species and describe the process if information is available.
 * Please do the citations properly in this section. Each bullet point requires a citation.

For Physiology section:
 * Please describe the substances that your species degrades or utilizes for living. And please find out if your species secrete any enzymes as their physiological features. For example, I found a review article which gives a lot of information about the physiology of your species, please take a look into it: Li, Z., Liu, G., Qu, Y. (2017). Improvement of cellulolytic enzyme production and performance by rational designing expression regulatory network and enzyme system composition. Bioresour Technol. 245 (Pt B): 1718-1726. doi: 10.1016/j.biortech.2017.06.120.
 * Please specifically point out that your species could produce mycotoxins like secalonic acid D and describe if the mycotoxins are the causes of certain diseases or they are just components inducing human or animal diseases with real-life cases.
 * Please give more details about why conidia of your species became widely used to induce tomato’s resistance against wilt. How is this working? Are the mycotoxins that your species produced poisonous to plants? What is the biological mechanism involved in this process? Hope these questions inspire you while you are processing your final article.

For Habitat and ecology section:
 * Please include details about drug resistance or treatments to your species in this section. For example, I found that there is a case report discussing that your species is resistant to an antifungal medicine and has caused mycosis in humans. Please take a look at this case report: Chowdhary, A., Kathuria, S., Agarwal, K., Sachdeva, N., Singh, P. K., Jain, S., & Meis, J. F. (2014). Voriconazole-Resistant Penicillium oxalicum: An Emerging Pathogen in Immunocompromised Hosts. Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 1(2), ofu029. http://doi.org/10.1093/ofid/ofu029.

For References section: *Citing a journal: *Citing a book: (If you could not see the correct coding format of the citations above, please click "Edit Resources" button on your top right for more details.)
 * Please e-mail Prof. Scott and ask if he could help you find more literatures or secondary reviews about your species. If he does not have any, I think you may be able to include some primary papers which had crucial findings about your species.
 * Please take a look into this book for more details about your species (I think you could find great details about physiology and habitats of your species): Domsch, K.H.; Gams, W.; Anderson, T.H. (1980). Compendium of soil fungi. London, UK: Academic Press (London) Ltd. ISBN 0122204018. You could borrow it from Earth Sciences Building or Gerstein library.
 * Please check if you have typed 3 equal signs before and after “References” in this section since the formatting is a bit weird.
 * Please check if you do citations properly in this section. There are some red marks indicating that you might have the wrong isbn of the books. If you have any questions about doing citations, please check week4 on our timeline on our online dashboard page. Prof. Scott has posted some citations for the books in correct formats. For your information, here are examples for citing journals and books in the following.

Hope these help. Good luck!!!! Cyril.li (talk) 15:24, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

23:43, 15 November 2017 (UTC)~Hi,after going through your article i simply don't understand why haven't u mentioned descriptive details about the fungus. well you have mentioned a lot of reading links and handful amount of references.I would like to see some more description of the fungus like its growth and morphology, more details about its habitat, Significance in terms of benefits from this fungus.A brief description about it will make it more catchy for the viewers to read23:43, 15 November 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zeeshanfaiz (talk • contribs)
