### Images
This is a curiosity comment, not a ding, the image "Fabricius, 1775" says 1775, I guess the year, but they had no photography back then so it's a photo of a painting? The info on it says uploaded in 2014 but also "U. Schmidt, 2024". Is 2024 a typo? Again, not a ding, just curious here. It's clearly a free image.
Fabricius described the species, he didn't take the photo. The Commons page says U.Schmidt, 2014 as expected.
I did the moved to commons review required for "David Elm with DED 2.jpg"
Noted.
I'm big on free images being on Commons, so I moved File:DED control notice.jpg to Commons and tagged it for deletion on en wiki.
Noted.


### Sources
Ref 4, looks like a book, can you add the year, pages, ?
Removed. A study pack.
Ref 33, is just a bare Url to the homepage, not a specific article on the site, also need proper formatting
Removed. Dead link.
Ref 34, similar to Ref 4
Formatted, archived.
Ref 35, just has "edinburgh.gov.uk/info/20064/parks_and_green_spaces/256/trees_and_woodlands" it looks like something was accidentally cut from it
Formatted, archived.
Ref 31 and 37, not formatted like the other web refs
Formatted.
Ref 42, looks chopped up, sort of like Ref 35
Formatted.
some web refs have retrieve dates, some don't, but I don't know if this is required for GA
Added.
I did some final tweaks, the last one had an archive error, but see edit summary for it. All good now. Nice job! MisawaSakura (talk) 13:10, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
