Dear Patrizia

''I looked at your created wikipedia page and I like it very much. You gave the existing page a very nice, new structure (see "Content-Box"). One of your references is coming up two times in your reference list. There is a possibility to change that, so that your reference is only coming up once but the reference is still in the text. I suggest to check that.'' For the core text you wrote, I have some suggestions for you and I will enter my suggestions into your text in bold, so that you see what I mean.

Cultivation
Acacia mangium grows up to 30 m tall grows up to ..tall -> gramatically not a correct sentence, often with a straight trunk. Acacia mangium has about 142,000 seeds/kg. if you know a little bit more about the seeds, for example how they look like or what it exactly means with 142000 seeds/kg; that would be very interesting To break down dormancy, mature seeds requires(delete) pre-germination treatments such as mechanical scarification (scratching the surface) or boiling them in water. This treatment leads to a fast These treatments are leading to a faster germination and typically exceeds 75%I do not really understand what you mean with this 75%. Like many other legumesis the Acacia mangium a tree or a legume?, it is ableleave the comma away and delete the it, sounds better to fix nitrogen in the soil. Acacia mangium italic is a popular species for forest plantations and is used more and more also for agroforestry projects. In mixed cultures '''do you know with what other cultures Acacia mangium is mixed? That would be interesting, plants can profit of the shadow from A.Mangium little typing error and italic''' and the nitrogen fixation A. mangium willdoes tolerate low fertilityI would say: does tolerate low fertile soils soils with impeded this means: behindert/beeinträchtigte Drainagen, are you sure about that? drainage, but prefers fertile sites with good drainage. Soil depth and topographic position can influence yields. With respect to distance from the equator, there are significant differences in performance under cultivation. A mean annual height add eventually: growth and leave away the increase  increase of about 3 to 4 m is usual common fits better here near the equator. In areas further away from the equator, growth is lower this word is not good in this context, use for example reduced (instead of lower).

Timber
A. mangium trees produce sapwood and heartwood. The heartwood’s colour is brownish yellow shimmer and medium textured suggestion: is brownish-yellow shimmery with a medium texture. Because the timber is extremely heavy, hard, very strong, tough, and liable to warp and crack badly it is used for furniture structure of the sentence is a little bit strange, for example: Due to extremely heavy, hard, tough timber (I dont understand liable to wrap), it is used for ... doors and window frames. The glossy and smooth surface finish delete finish after polishing, leads also to a potential for making export orientated artifacts. leads to a potential for making export -> I would change this sentence, for example: The glossy and smooth surface after polishing the timber leads to the opportunity for an export market (or something like that)

Ecological Aspects
Because Use something nicer than because, for example: Due to the fact that... Acacia mangium trees largely increase the turnover rate of N in the topsoil, it might improve also the mineral N availability in soils in delete in and use of mixed cultures. Because it is a very fast growing tree it develops an intensive rooting system  A. mangium is a very fast growing tree, so the root system develops very intensive an fast, part...., particularly in a low fertility fertile soils. That helps to recover degraded tropical lands for what A. Mangium is very useful. The Tree is widely used in Goa what about a link here? ,in the mining industry for rehabilitation of the waste dumps, as it is a drought resistant species and binds the sterile mine waste consisting of lateritic strata.

If you have any questions about my corrections, please feel free to ask. Cheers, Svenja

''Dear Patricia, Your entry gives a very good overview, I liked it very much! There are some points I would like to propose, but these are just peanuts;)''

1.	Maybe you could distinguish in the intercept “Cultivation” between Climate requirements and Soil requirements

2. You could maybe add a new headline “Biology”. Thus the entry could become a bit better structured.

3.	Is the wood already used for producing artifacts? How and where?

4.	How are the trees propagated? Can humans propagate them by seedlings or direct sowing?

5. There is one reference listed twice. On Youtube you can find a nice video under Creating external links and references on a wiki how to change this

I just pointed out some points where you could write a bit more about the agronomical aspects of your plant. But I think it is not necessary to extend your entry, because it shows already interesting informations. Bi Frage u Aaregige bitte frage, Daniela
