Talk:Telopea speciosissima

message: Would it be appropriate to also mention that the David Jones symbol is a stylised waratah, given that there is a reference to Arnotts?

thread_title:  More  "Symbolic and artistic references". 

message: There is no single illustration in the article that clearly shows the shrub, as opposed to the flower.  We have one illo that shows in the far distance, a tiny flower on the top of a long stalk.  The other overall plant picture is just a mass of green next to another mass of (similar looking green) and thus is actually confusing.  We also have an overabundance of shots of the flower itself.  Think about if this were an article in National Geographic or a scientific review of the plant.
FA criteria include adequate illustration and this article is poorly illustrated.  Jus finding some random snapshots to ornament the walls of text (and not even discussing quality, just checking rights status, as was done in the FAC review) does not lead to "near professional quality" work.  Think of the sort of article that one would read in Natural History.  Of how the editor of that magazine would want it to look.  For the readers.18:02, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Consider this example.  For that matter just snapping a pic of the plant overall seems pretty feasible.  Discussing the anatomy of the plant (article is actually on the plant, not the flower) would be helped by a good overall picture.18:18, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point, but there is a whole-plant photo at the top right of the Ecology section in its native habitat, and there is another of a shrub further down the article. I'd be great to get one of a lignotuberous base though. Casliber (talk · contribs) 19:54, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, and I discussed that above (far distance stalk, hard to see anything, not a good overall picture of the shrub itself).  Perhaps if you cropped it?22:35, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the picture of the shrub in bushland suits the ecology section well and illustrates the natural habitat. However it would probably be good to have a picture of a single cultivated plant in full flower to replace the first photo in the cultivation section. Melburnian (talk) 00:15, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: They're in flower now - took some photos at Mt Annan Bot. Garden. Will take a look for some others. Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:04, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
