• “a pattern of masting”. Like many other oaks. Perhaps that should be stated and cited, as it is not a specific feature of this tree.
• “lots of twists” -> “many twists”.
• “incense used in temples” -> “temple incense”.
• “The link between the aroma of mizunara is often referred to as “temple smell”.” The link between the aroma and what? Something’s missing or the sentence needs rewriting.
• “as it is generally referred to in the whiskey business” – but mizunara is the usual name?
• You might like to have 2 sections within ‘Uses’, for ‘Whisky barrels’ and ‘Other uses’.
• Suggest we use the spelling “whisky” throughout (since it’s used in “Scotch whisky“), rather than alternating with “whiskey”.
• “outstanding anti-toxoplasma properties against the parasite Toxoplasma gondii,” seems a bit repetitive. Perhaps “outstanding effectiveness against the parasite…”.

• A tiny comment: we have 2 images called “Leaves” side by side; and we are missing one on the overall shape of the tree (“Habit”).
  • replaced the poorer one with the botanical illustration, added a Q. mongolica for shape, may or may not be var crispula, is this ok?

Sounds risky, suggest we do without it really.

cut

• If there is a botanical illustration of Q. crispula available, we should put that in too.
• All the images are relevant to the subject.

• All the images are on Commons and plausibly licensed.

• The moth image is of rather poor quality but just about usable. We should look out for (or get someone to take) something better.
  • only one I found of a pest that attacks this species

• The sources are all appropriate to the article and reliable.

• [2] (gives error 502, this is likely a temporary software glitch (I heard on the radio about Microsoft services down today) so not to worry.)
• [14] ok (I have the book on my shelf).
