I will be reviewing the article. Z. Patterson (talk) 21:44, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Chiswick Chap:

My observations follow.

• There appear to be no copyright violations.
• The article appears to be written well.
• The article appears to be stable.
• The article appears to be verifiable. I checked the sources I could access, and the article appears to agree with them.
• The article appears to be broad for its coverage, despite its length.
• The article is well-illustrated.

I have some points to address.

• For the sentence that starts with "Pairings such as rice and fish or rice and ducks form a mutualistic relationship", I see that the cited source mentions fish, but not ducks. Are you able to find a source that mentions ducks for the part of the paragraph this sentence is in? I see that this source mentions ducks, but I was not sure if you figured this source would suffice for mentioning ducks.

"Ecological mechanism and diversity in rice based integrated farming system". Ecological Indicators. 91: 359–375. Bibcode:2018EcInd..91..359N. doi:10.1016/j.ecolind.2018.04.025. S2CID 90610992.

• Added the ref. It analyses the benefits of systems with ducks.

• In the table, I see the sentence, "Surface must be even; water depth must suit ducks; young ducks best as they don't nibble rice leaf tips." Perhaps we could expand the contraction and change "nibble" to "bite".

• Expanded and edited.

• In the table, I see, "Chinese mitten crab, from 1980s The crabs feed on zooplankton." I think we could add a semicolon or a full stop to "1980s".

• Done.

• I suggest changing instances of "while" to "as".

• This isn't an improvement in British English.

If you make the changes, I plan to pass the article as a good article.
