@MisawaSakura: I was just about to review. Why did you withdraw this? The article appears to meet all requirements for DYK. Thriley (talk) 05:14, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
 Article has been 5X expanded and has also achieved Good Article status. No issues of copyvio or plagiarism. All sources appear reliable. The hook is interesting and sourced. QPQ is not needed. Looks all ready to go. Great work! A fine member of perhaps my favorite family of trees. Thriley (talk) 05:18, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

[1] &[2]... I sense...frustration... Suggest we proceed with this regardless as the article is nice and the review complete; can always hold off on the dyk credit, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 13:02, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
 Close as withdrawn and in compliance with backlog needs.--Kevmin § 19:49, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

 @Maculosae tegmine lyncis: The nominator is the one that gets to decide if they want a nomination to continue or not, you do not get to override that choice.--Kevmin § 20:32, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

@Casliber:. I saw you have a lot of FAs on plants, including the genus Ficus.  I don't have an FA yet (though one is at FAC now), but I do have three GAs, including this article here. I was thinking of trying to get this to FA and was wondering if you could give me pointers on what to add/do towards that. Whatever you decide is ok. MisawaSakura (talk) 23:04, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

I'll take a look Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 23:26, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
Wow, that was quick and very helpful. I truly appreciate it. I'll try to work on it more; I can't nominate it at FA yet anyway because my current FAC Aomori Prefecture has only been up about 12 days. So far it has an image review by Nikki and after several suggestions, a support from Noleander. I have no idea how it will turn out. Sorry I got off track! Again, many thanks for the help!

Ok comments below...

Sentences are on the short side and come across as choppy in the Description section
copyedited
Not thrilled with galleries - each photo should have some unique information to impart to the reader - agree it can be hard to arrange photos otherwise so not a huge problem.
The GA reviewer, Chiswick Chap, liked it there, but I tend to agree with you, if I can expand it enough I will move some
 Its growth rate is very slow. - ummm, how slow is this?
can only find "slow" and "very slow", no details will keep looking...still finding no details
Due to the resulting confusion, F. ferruginea ceased being used. - was there a official decision on this somewhere? If so where and when?
found ref and date
Taxonomy section order of information is a bit muddled and needs (I think) to be reorganised, but exactly how I am not sure as yet.
working, hmmm not sure either...open to suggestions
Food uses - commercial?
not found, mostly furniture, nuts, and oils. Little or no detail...still finding no details
Why is Kodama (spirit) linked here? If something relevant to this tree species, should be a short passage about it, otherwise link is extremely generic and should go.
ok, I just thought it was really interesting, deleted
Why list some generic tree book in Further reading - I'd delete this.
it was there when I started, deleted now
Casliber see posts I just made on Gog the Mild's and Schrocat's talk pages. MisawaSakura (talk) 01:39, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
additionally - is there a specific reason why Protected Forests (Japan) is listed in a See Also section?
this directly relates to the article because Shirakami-Sanchi is one of Japan's protected forests... I've moved it into the body.MisawaSakura (talk) 12:25, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
