Spribille and Three member lichens[edit]
In Spribille 2016 10.1126/science.aaf8287, they claim that the additional involvement of the yeast is a world-wide phenomenon that is the norm rather than the exception. The current Lichen article suggests that this triplicate symbiosis is occurring in certain cases and even suggests that it has only bee found in a single mycobiont species. If this reference (as a primary research article) is going to be included, then it ought to be represented accurately.
I suggest that Spribille's work is included more prominently and boldly rather than as an exceptional side note. Perturbedxuuya (talk) 21:25, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Perturbedxuuya, you have identified one of many problems with the current lichen article. We are working on a rebuild of that entire article from the ground up, including an update on the more modern understanding of a lichen as a "miniature ecosystem". You can see our work-in-progress outline here; you're welcome to add stuff you think is missing. Feel free to tweak the wording of the current lichen article if you'd like to do so yourself, or wait and eventually the entire article will be upgraded.

Diversity[edit]
For the record, I've put up for GAN evaluation several articles: a lichen species, genus, and family, a lichenologist, and the article on lichen spot tests. Still working on a lichen product article, and who knows, maybe an improved future order ... Esculenta (talk) 20:16, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Concern regarding Draft:Lichen[edit]
For general info, I recently got the following message from the 'pedia (presumably because I'm the one who created the draft in the first place). All it will take is a small edit somewhere to keep the draft "live", but we'll definitely want to do that so we don't lose all the talk page details! MeegsC (talk) 11:01, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, MeegsC. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Lichen, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
- If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
- Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 00:07, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- Already done! Esculenta (talk) 15:51, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Popular journals update[edit]
In the most recent version of the most-often cited journals on Wikipedia page, The Lichenologist has moved up to position #130. Making its first appearance on the "top" page, The Bryologist (which also published many lichen-related articles) is at position #225. Esculenta (talk) 17:50, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
