These are the gymnosperms, including the conifers. Quite a bit shorter than my series on flowering plant families ... this is just one page, and just 12 rows of families. As always, a list of the image licenses is on the talk page, if that helps. - Dank (push to talk) 05:02, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from SilverTiger

I don't do plants... I don't do plants... oh, what am I saying. I like taxonomy lists.

  • Pass source review: Earwig detected no copyvio, and all the sources used are good. I didn't check the code behind the citations, though, because I don't have experience with sfn style.
  • In the lede: Why do you give the giant redwood's common name in parentheses, but not the coastal redwood's? I suggest Sequoiadendron giganteum, the giant redwood, is the largest tree in the world, and Sequoia sempervirens, the coastal redwood, is the tallest.
  • The pine family is the main source of softwood timber, and is a significant source of paper pulp and turpentine.
  • Why don't you link directly to Baltic amber? I.e. "Amber from around the Baltic Sea..."
    • Now that I've looked into it, I deleted the sentence. Baltic amber says, among other things: "Baltic amber formerly included amber from the Bitterfeld brown coal mines in Saxony (Eastern Germany). ... Other sources of Baltic amber have been listed as coming from Poland and Russia." Not everyone agrees where it came from, or that it all originated from the umbrella-pine family. - Dank (push to talk) 14:50, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I feel like this second lede paragraph needs some kind of opening sentence instead of jumping straight to the fun facts.
    • I moved two sentences around and did some minor copyediting. - Dank (push to talk)
  • Is Gnetum edule supposed to be a redlink?
    • Yes, red links are not uncommon in these plant family lists ... the most illustrative images from Commons don't necessarily match up with Wikipedia's species articles, but TPTB tell me that "all species are notable". After this list, I'm switching to species lists, which should mean fewer red links. - Dank (push to talk)

That's all from me. Happy editing, SilverTiger12 (talk) 14:34, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
