Great job! Only minor comments from reviewers and I agree! This piece is in great shape. Nice work. --Amille75 (talk) 06:04, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

General Comments: Mimosa pudica's main advantage is its ability to fix nitrogen and its ability to grow in nutrient poor soils. The main message was clear. I liked the incorporation of evolutionary history and relationships between the plant and bacteria. Also, the use of headings and linking terms to other wikipedia sites made the article more organized and easy to follow. One contribution to make this article better would be to add information about the nutritional benefits. One thing that was confusing was the way this plant is cultivated and how this plant is beneficial to the overall food market. One question I had when reading this article was why nitrogen is important for plants. Also I wondered if the plant can be grown in a soil rich environment, or only in a poor soil.

Grammar: One error in grammar I found was that B. phymatum cannot be abbreviated at the beginning of the sentence. Also Mimosa pudica was not italicized in the second paragraph.

References: There were 5 correctly cited scientific articles used.

 * General Comments: Overall this article was pretty cohesive and flowed really well from one paragraph to the next.  I like the way you divided it up as it made it more organized overall and easier to follow.  The main message was clear and I didn't get lost reading any of the paragraphs.  I liked how you linked key words back to other articles so it was easy to go look at other things related to your topic.  I think it would add more to the overall article to link to tother article more.


 * Grammar: I couldn't find any errors except for taking out the "(new section)" in one of the headings.


 * References: All citations were properly executed and were used an appropriate number of times
