What a fine, fascinating and well-written article. Even moving, with the detail of his funeral. Comments soon. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:07, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I really can find very little to say in the way of needed improvements.

  • Peltigera canina is the Dog Lichen, so we might as well give its English name (and it certainly deserves its own article).
  • The Swedish filosofie kandidat is mis-spelt.
  • Dissertation need not be wikilinked.
  • Suggest we repeat "Uppsala" rather than saying "It was at the [unnamed] university" as it's some sentences away from the previous mention.
  • Suggest we gloss "docent" with "(reader)".
  • I think "reader" might be confusing to those not familiar with UK-based academia; instead I glossed with "(an academic appointment below the rank of Professor) "
  • "floristic papers on the lichens" - suggest we delete "floristic", it won't help the reader.
  • "In the obituary she wrote about Degelius" -> "In her obituary of Degelius".
  • Askim should be wikilinked at the first instance, not the next.
  • Suggest we gloss Askim at first instance with ", a district of Gothenburg" as there's one in Norway as well.
  • You might like to use |author-mask= to avoid repeating "Degelius, G." all the way down the list of works.
  • It'd also be nice to add |ref=none to the works to avoid the Harv warnings that pop up.
  • I know what Graphis scripta is but many readers won't. It'd be nice to gloss it with something like "the journal Graphis scripta, named for a species of lichen". A brilliant name, by the way.
  • Why don't we have a picture of Degelia in the 'Eponymy' section?

That's about it from me. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:29, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking the time to review; I hope the changes are satisfactory. Esculenta (talk) 18:21, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Super, it's a pleasure to see such good things being brought to GA, which standard this article has certainly reached. I do hope you'll take the time to pick an article or two from the GAN queue to review! All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:45, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
