Finally! My Fruit entry...
Wilma

Yay! Excellent (I am not alone now...)

This one's looking great! Why did you choose the latin name for the name of the Entry? Is the common name too...uh, common? You could always put the latin name in the first paragraph like so "Papaya (Carica papaya</I&gt is blah blah blah"

With your quotes, I think EG style is to lose the quotation marks and italicise the script, for anything you put in blockquotes, but I could be wrong...

The layout and information is fantastic! I loves it, great work Wilma

There's probably more recommendations from the usual PR crew, but I'm looking forward to some linking to the steak recipe

Fab!

Remove spaces before tag.

Use Headers rather than Subheaders.

Medical use:

People who have insufficient saliva are given semi-dried papaya fruit to chew on before eating.

Footnotes should also be inside full stops where applicable...

You also need to replace the any ‘curly’ quotes with 'straight' ones.

Oh, and I think Bernadette mentioned something about the leaves making brilliant swords for playing with when she was little..any way you can put things like that in? Give the Entry a more chatty tone, which is always nice I think

I still haven't forgiven you for being so quick, though MJ

OK, down to business:

I've changed the title, put the Latin name in the text and lost a footer I think it works better, especially with the headers instead of subheaders (thanks, Gnomon, for that, and the additional medical use info!).

MJ, I don't have itals or quotes in the blockquotes... should I? and the keaves of Papaya are quite small, soft and floppy.... swords? in what dimension or was Bernadette playing with the Asimina triloba leaves, do you think?

I have tidied up the footnotes and the curly quotes for Mr D.

Hope I did everything. I will check again.

all!

Not sure about those other blockquotes Wilma . And it's up to you, you got heaps of good attention here in the EGWW, but you might want to remove it and put it into PR

*mumble* newfangled submit thingy

Well done Wilma!

I only have one teeny weeny comment. You use the word 'papin' early on in your entry, then go on to describe what it is towards the end. Is there anyway way that the top word can be linked to the description?
You can tell i'm not good with guideML can't ya!

A very good entry.
