Hi! Great work on your article evaluations. It looks like you are already thinking about the sources and considering how to narrow down to what you want to contribute. Keep searching for some sources. You might find that some of the plants are too broad to find much in the scientific literature. That will help you know which one is the better plant to choose.

Your outline is shaping up to have some nice additions to the subject. I can see where your additions will expand what is already in the article. Lethornton (talk) 20:50, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Wiki-Edu Peer Review (by Adwoa):


 * Organization:
 * I think your organization is really well laid-out! Each subheading accurately reflects the content contained underneath. In your ecology section, you mentioned western junipers and I wasn’t sure if that was a specific type of Juniper or just a general group of junipers. There was some switching back and forth between junipers and ‘western junipers,’ so I would just make that more clear if possible.


 * Spelling :
 * There were no spelling errors that I noticed in your draft!


 * Grammar:
 * In the ecology section: “The herbaceous cover has decreased and often times junipers are misnamed as weeds.” -> I would say mistaken for weeds instead of misnamed.
 * In the description section: “These plants are notorious for taking over open areas that way they have more exposure to rainfall.” maybe “Junipers are known to encompass open areas so that…” and maybe you can even see if there are specific species of Junipers that are more prone to doing this.


 * Tone:
 * The tone of your edits is very un-biased and touches upon fact only, which is good because readers won’t be swayed in either direction! You also explain concepts that wouldn’t be known to a common reader, which is also very helpful.


 * Content:
 * I originally reviewed juniper berries when trying to find an article originally and quickly browsed the Juniper page. You added a lot of relevant content that will be beneficial for readers, especially when assessing ecology and how certain Juniper trees thrive in specific environmental conditions.
 * One thing I would suggest is linking certain topics to their Wikipedia article if you can. For instance, I was not entirely sure where Lahaul Valley is located or if I wanted more information on gymnosperms or juniper berries, having the direct link to its page can help readers quickly access more information if they’d like to.

Overall, these are really great edits and additions that will improve readers’ understanding of the Juniper genus article!! Nantwia1 (talk) 17:11, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Instructor comments: I can see that you are adding good tidbits of information that should help the entire juniper article. Make sure that you are maintaining flow and consistency in the subheading formats as you weave your work into the current page. I can see that you have been incorporating peer review comments already. Keep looking for ways to add links to other Wikipedia articles where ever possible to help the reader have easy access to further descriptions elsewhere. Keep polishing a bit based on the comments above and start working the material into the mai page. Lethornton (talk) 22:29, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
