Review
(criteria)
  •  Comment I have not come further in this review than considering the scope. I am not too fond of the bilberry word in the scope, as I had the species Vaccinium uliginosum (also called bog blueberry and many other names) in mind, when I read it, and then I was confused as that was a species I saw in North-West Greenland, and I was wondering what that was doing in France!? On closer inspection on the image page I then read, it is actually Vaccinium myrtillus, which is also known as Bilberry as well as Whortleberry and other names. So, to avoid this ambiguousness, I suggest you modify the scope to Harvesting Vaccinium myrtillus, or perhaps Harvesting Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberries) although that is not as readable for the layman, but it is more precise, I think. -- Slaunger (talk) 21:21, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Cool, you have even contributed with a photo comparing the berries of V. uliginosum and V. myrtillus. Very nice! -- Slaunger (talk) 21:26, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • ✓ Done Scope changed. P.S. : However, both species have very large distributions all over the northern hemisphere. --B.navez (talk) 02:26, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Meets all criteria. Could have been even better if the harvesting comb was better seen. Yes, I learned during this review that V. uliginosum is also widely distributed, most often at higher altitudes as we go south. Getting this knowledge is one of the things I enjoy about reviewing VICs;-) And here in this photo we are also at 1400 m ASL. -- Slaunger (talk) 06:26, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
