No copyvio issues, article is long enough, hooks are interesting, well-sourced. However, the article needs to cite that limonene is also found in lemons (right now, its only mention is an uncited image caption.) Also, is there anyway to rephrase ALT0 to make it more simple for those who don't know what a terpene is? Let me know if there's anything else you need.

How about this simpler hook; I've changed the wording, to make it so that organic compound actually links to limonene instead of terpenes, for those who are unfamiliar with what they are.

I'll also add a citation for that statement as requested. § DDima 04:13, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Citation was added and slightly reworded. § DDima 18:04, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All is good. I was thinking simply "... that Super Lemon Haze is an award-winning cannabis strain that commonly exhibits limonene, an organic compound that is also found in lemons?" if that works for you. Also, sorry responding a bit late; I recommend using a ping. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ♥) 03:24, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Some technical changes

I’ve made some changes to the wording of the discussion of the terpenes present. I don’t like the use of “organic compound” and would prefer something like “hydrocarbon natural product”, but I left that. I changed “that the cannabis plant produces” to wording that makes it clearer that lots of plants make terpenes. Some other changes to wording were made.

And I changed the picture of lemons to a ball-and-stick model of limonene. That seems more relevant to a technical discussion of a terpene profile. The article is about lemony-smelling cannabis, not lemons, so I find an image of lemons almost promotional. Something relevant to limonene provides more information.

Sounds great, thanks for the changes! Hydrocarbon natural product does sound more scientific, but organic compound is way more often found in cannabis-related literature and citations as far as the description of terpenes. § DDima 22:59, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I want the picture of lemons back. Means a lot more to the reader and the promotional purpose of this strain than a chemical figure. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ♥) 02:30, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
