  • I'd link function group at first mention, lots of people will have forgotten high school Ochem.
  • "include Cladonia portentosa, which is C+ (yellow)" You don't mention yellow reactions to the C test earlier though, only red, orange-rose, and emerald-green.
  • Good point. I moved C. portentosa up as a example of an uncommon colour result, and replaced it with another common species with a more common colour result. Esculenta (talk)
  • You forgot to italicize para-phenylendiamine in the last paragraph (pun unintended).
  • "the yellowish colour results from the fluorescence of lichexanthone" Should be cited.
  • Images are fine.
  • Refs are reliable and properly formatted.
  • Excellent work, barely even found anything to quibble about. I'll see which sources I can get my hands on and pass after spot-checking. AryKun (talk) 10:39, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks very much for taking on this review and the others. Am dealing with the brunt of a massive snowstorm, and will get to responses later when I'm done shovelling ... Esculenta (talk) 01:13, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Ok, fixes are made per here. Esculenta (talk) 14:49, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Spot-checked a couple of journal articles cited and found no issues; will pass. AryKun (talk) 12:59, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
