Review (criteria)	Request geotagging is missing. Lycaon (talk) 23:05, 18 March 2009 (UTC) added JGHowes talk - 03:33, 19 March 2009 (UTC) Thank you. This is ok now. Lycaon (talk) 07:20, 19 March 2009 (UTC)  Request relevant categorization is absent. Lycaon (talk) 23:05, 18 March 2009 (UTC) added JGHowes talk - 03:33, 19 March 2009 (UTC) With relevant categorization, I mean relevant to the scope. Lycaon (talk) 07:20, 19 March 2009 (UTC) I've now added Category:Morphology, as there is no sub-cat for Plant morphology or fasciation. JGHowes talk - 19:21, 19 March 2009 (UTC) Oh yes there is! Don't worry, I fixed it myself ;-). Lycaon (talk) 19:39, 19 March 2009 (UTC)  Question I am not terribly knowledgeable about the subject, but when I go through Category:Crested plants, I also find these which for me seems like better illustrations of the scope. I may be missing some details in my understanding of how fasciation manifests itself though, and I would therefore like to hear the nominators (and other reviewers) comments on that. --Slaunger (talk) 23:14, 25 March 2009 (UTC) Well, of course which is the "better" illustration is subjective and as nom naturally I think this image is best. The "standard" saguaro cactus is well-known for its iconic, upraised arms; thus, this saguaro with its arms folded inward upon itself due to en:fasciation seems to me to be an especially impressive illustration of the process. JGHowes talk - 23:45, 25 March 2009 (UTC)  Support After a little thought - I think the nominators words on this makes sense, and I feel I can support. --Slaunger (talk) 23:52, 25 March 2009 (UTC) Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted.
