• Please remove "the" as the first word of the lead

• It's a correct construction, see WP:PLANTS/TAXONNUMBER. Esculenta (talk) 14:47, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Please remove the information in the bracket as it's already provided in the Infobox

• Ok. Esculenta (talk) 14:47, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• It contains about 30 genera about roughly 250 species. Redundancy

• Fixed. Esculenta (talk) 14:47, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• A major distinguishing characteristic of the family is the lecanoroid form of the fruiting bodies: typically circular, dark, and without a thalline margin. A colon is grammatically wrong here.

• Nope, the colon is grammatically correct; it is used here to introduce a list or an explanation that directly follows a complete clause. Esculenta (talk) 14:47, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Esculenta: No, a comma is needed here. Please use ChatGPT or another tool to verify your grammar. Wolverine XI ^{(talk to me)} 18:16, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Have already used it to establish that I'm correct. Esculenta (talk) 18:24, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, but I still think you're wrong. Wolverine XI ^{(talk to me)} 19:30, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• are lichenicolous–they live on other lichens. Lecideaceae lichens tend to grow on rocks, wood, and soil. We need a longer em-dash

• Well, we don't need it, as en- and em-dashes are interchangeable for this use, but I like em dashes anyways so I swapped for one here. Esculenta (talk) 14:47, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• I think a second paragraph in the lead would be helpful

• Sure, done. Esculenta (talk) 14:47, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• his influential 1753 treatise Species Plantarum. Remove influential

• I'm claiming WP:BLUESKY here, as Species Plantarum is simply the most influential botanical work that exists, and I don't think it's inappropriate to append this word, even in Wiki-voice. Esculenta (talk) 14:47, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Please don't describe author's work as influential

• Zahlbruckner's work is similarly influential in lichenology, but admittedly less known-well outside these circles, so in the spirit of compromise I've removed the word. Esculenta (talk) 14:47, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Ref bomb in Classification

• Defused the bomb by bundling the citations. Esculenta (talk) 14:47, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Can you expand chemistry ditto Habitat, distribution, and ecology

• That's a great idea and I have done so. Esculenta (talk) 14:47, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Please improve the IUCN citation, as it's missing information

• Not sure what to do with them as I'm using the standard template:Cite IUCN template. I had another article with fuller IUCN citations, but someone else came along and replaced them with these templates, so probably the citations need to be improved at the template level.
