# Talk:Myco-heterotrophy

I just finished writing this article. I realize it still needs citations - I wrote it largely from memory, but will go over my literature soon so that I can incorporate proper citations into the article. I have also searched through (English) Wikipedia and changed over references to plants as "saprophytes" to "myco-heterotrophs". Peter G Werner 01:27, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

It was a coin toss between Myco-heterotrophy (describing the relationship) and Myco-heterotroph (describing the organism). It seemed proper to emphasize the ecological relationship rather than just the parasitic partner, so I went with the former. (Also, "Myco-heterotrophy" got more Google hits.) If I was wrong, somebody could always just move the article. Peter G Werner 03:31, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

I just added references. At some point I suppose I should wikify them, though its not high on my to-do list. Basically, I'm not a big fan of "ref" format – its a real pain in the ass to edit, since you have to intersperse entire bibliographic citations into the text of the article, plus the reference list is no longer in alphabetical order and looks beaten to crap once you're done.

The Good article nomination for Myco-heterotrophy has failed, for the following reason(s):    

I think this article is long enough to warrant breaking up into a couple of sections - it would be an aesthetic improvement over a large block of text.  It would then need a short lead section.  Otherwise, the content looks good - please renominate once sections have been added.  Worldtraveller 12:01, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Err, this is still on the nomination list, did it get back here so quickly? I was going to pass it heh, it seems to have plenty of books and article things there at the bottom..... Homestarmy 03:30, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
I hadn't renominated it at the time you came by, but I have renominated it now, since I've made the changes suggested by Worldtraveller. Lots of links, its true – I hope its a kind of "one-stop shopping" for anybody who's interested in learning about the topic. Peter G Werner 05:46, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

I think this is now GA material. I do recommend changing the references to the {{cite}} format, but that's not an official requirement so I don't feel it should hold the article back at this point. It would be a problem if the article ever reached FAC, though, and I personally think the new format is a lot easier to read and use. Otherwise, though, this meets all the criteria for Good Articles. I know very little about botany, but I found it interesting and understandable. Nice job. Kafziel 13:09, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

This article has been reviewed under the sweeps process to determine whether it remains to be in good condition. Although I have doubts of the permission of using this image, it appears that the uploader is an expert in this field and likely that he did receive expressed permission for imaage usage. An OTRS follow up would be great, but I will give the benefit of the doubt and assume good faith. Overall, the article is clear, detailed, and well-referenced to reliable sources. Based on this, I believe that this article is in good condition and remains to be an GA. OhanaUnitedTalk page 17:54, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

I received permission directly from Martin Bidortondo to use the image, and he also fact checked the article. The article could use some updating to incorporate more current research on these organisms, but otherwise I would say it gives a very good overview. Peter G Werner (talk) 05:46, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
