[edit]You'll need to clean up some of the references to make sure they read correctly (e.g., et al..), etc. Otherwise it looks fine. Medmyco (talk) 02:13, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
Actually, you might also take a look at [1][2][3] Medmyco (talk) 02:16, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Peer Review
[edit]Hi there! It looks like your article is coming along very nicely so far. I especially like the specificity of your subheadings. I think it is really important to have such clear cut organization like that. However, I see that some of the subheadings have not been expanded on yet, which I assume you will be doing in the near future. After doing some of my own research on your assigned fungus, it seems as though it infects sorghum, which is the fifth most important cereal crop in the world. I notice you've included a section on plant diseases, however I think it would also be helpful if you included a section on the economic significance of this fungus given its pathogenicity in crops. I have also found that the anamorph of your fungus is called Curvularia lunata, which may help you to find some additional information about this species to help you expand the ecology and taxonomy subsections. I've included some links to articles that may be helpful to you below. Good luck and I look forward to seeing how your article turns out!

I know that you will be editing and improving you article in the near future but let me help you with some parts. First, instead of describing the mycoses (Phaeohyphomycoses), you should link to to wikipedia articles already explaining those. Focus on giving information specific to your fungus. As the person above mentioned, search for information about the anamorph of this fungus (although I could not find a lot related to pathogenesis and you can mention that disease in humans is uncommon). For the morphology section you can divide this section like the following: culture (macroscopic features like culture time, temperature, color and texture), microscopic (hyphae or yeast structure, color, septate or not; conidia shape, size, location), and features that differentiate this fungus from other fungus in the genus (molecular regions). Also you can use
<ref name=nameofreference>reference here</ref>
(look at the code of other students or mine) to better organize your references (because currently, you have duplicate references). Hhhzzzani (talk) 01:07, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
Hey thanks for the suggested reference! Your page looks good so far, I like how you have included a section on human disease, it's interesting stuff but i agree you could link to other wiki pages instead of providing descriptions. You could also move your distribution info to 'Ecology' instead of the 'Plant Diseases' section. Mccull44 (talk) 21:19, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
