More lichenology! What a treat. I managed to get an article about a mycologist to FA status, but I sincerely doubt we have any good or featured articles about lichenologists. Josh Milburn (talk) 13:09, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The treat for me was coming on here and seeing three of my GAN submissions getting reviews, when I thought it might take months ... so thanks for that! Interesting you should mention Meinhard Moser, as that is the article I used as sort of a template to build the article on Finnish lichenologist Edvard August Vainio, which is currently at FAC.

I hadn't seen your FA nomination -- I will be sure to drop by this weekend. Josh Milburn (talk) 21:53, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "In 1958, he was dismissed from his university position" It's strange in the lead to jump to straight into a comparatively late point in his career.
  • "Described as a "universal lichen taxonomist"," I always get twitchy when I see a direct quote without a citation!
  • "Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry" -- could you name the institution? Or is that a free-standing organisation?
  • What is a "forest worker" if not a forester?
  • You write about his address becoming well known before you write about his international career being launched. It just feels a little out-of-order.
  • "Vězda was the editor of several extensive works of exsiccata" These are books, are they? Or are they just collections?
  • As with the other GA review, I feel I need to ask about the small caps.
  • Boring question, but are all those species still recognised today? We know how these things can come and go...

Sourcing looks very good, and no worries with the images. Nice article! Josh Milburn (talk) 13:54, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to promote. Great work. Josh Milburn (talk) 19:24, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
