thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The referenced source does not contain a notice like "The trees recover, and botanists speculate that the species provide mutual benefit, possibly in the form of fertilizer for the oak." The original sentences are "The idea that a species of insect can cohabit with a tree host for millions of years, adapting slowly so that today it can live only on that host, suggests that there may be a benefit to the tree. There may be a third party involved, maybe a bird or a soil organism or something else." Could any native speaker form a correct summary of that, please?

message: I'm a new editor and am hesitant to make a big edit without getting some feedback first.
I am 90% certain that the tree pictured in the "Habitat and ecology" section is NOT Q. agrifolia.  I suspect it is actually Q. douglasii (although I've read that the two can hybridize so who knows).  Note the bluish leaves and especially the whitish-gray bark that separates into long, thin vertically-oriented scales (see photos here and description here).  Q. agrifolia has generally smooth bark with "ridges rounded" (same sources).  I'm tempted to remove the photo but would like to see if anyone has a different opinion before I take that leap.WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 02:30, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

message: In disambiguating Holm oak, I have found a number of uses of the term clearly referring to this species, and I have found this blog post indicating that it is sometimes referred to by this name. Is there a more formal source that can be used in this article for this designation? Technically, it should not be on the disambiguation page unless this is mentioned in the article, but I would prefer to have a proper source supporting that. Cheers!

message: I have a 45 year old one I planted in my back yard 35 years ago.  I pulled it out of the ground at El. 5000 ft. in the Laguna Mountains of San Diego County. We live at El. 600 feet.  It is a very healthy very cool tree about as broad as it is tall. Lrayvick (talk) 03:54, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
