Copyedting issues

Please do not open threads at WT:MOS about copyediting at particular articles like this one. THis is tagged for cleanup because the first non-lead sentence was a huge run-on; "in Turkey 20–2400 m" didn't make sense; "well divided" and "leaf end" should be hyphenated; "hairs star-like" was missing a verb, and that clause needed to be semicolon-separated or made into its own sentence; an inline list like "roadsides, fields, rocky slopes, steppe, maquis" needs "and" before the last item; same with "Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Turkey" (which is not a sentence); various technical terms needed to be linked (e.g. two in "The epicalyx is large (>=50% calyx)"); shouldn't use mathematical symbols in running text for non-math expressions, but just use words (but does this mean "mostly consisting of calyx" or "larger than the calyx"?); "pilose hairy (the sides sparsely)" doesn't make sense (seems to be at least missing a verb, and maybe misusing an adjective as a noun, but I'm not certain); there is no such place as "Lebanon-Syria". Probably others.

I have fixed some of these problems (and several others), but some of them remain because I'm not sure what the intent of the material is.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  20:52, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
