Stuff to do before FA edit

Left from GAC review:

"There are 16 elements crucial for growth; of those, three are obtained through air and water: hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, boron, copper, chlorine, manganese, molybdenum, iron, and zinc are obtained from the soil."

Perhaps separate into macro and micro nutrients. Deficiencies are soil dependent and thus location dependent. I might be wrong here but the soil must be slightly acidic

Agricultural economics section: This would cross with the "economic theory" section in Christmas tree production. Merge that section here? Thoughts?

Other ideas:

"Research": expansion, globalization of section, add "Silviculture" section?
"History": Globalize

That's it for now. IvoShandor 14:50, 11 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Christmas tree cultivation/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

This article about christmas tree production is primarily about production in the US, despite the fact that it is a global industry. Thus this article fails criterion 3a. Production outside the US is clearly a main aspect of the topic.--FutureTrillionaire (talk) 20:10, 16 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Result: delisted. It's been a week. There doesn't appear to be much interest in fixing these issues.--FutureTrillionaire (talk) 14:50, 23 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, I just don't participate much at all anymore and haven't really been active in trying to promote and retain promotions for articles for quite some time. That said, it's a good start and with a little work could be re-elevated for anyone that's interested in the topic.IvoShandor (talk) 15:57, 23 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
