Okay, I'm going to sound like a complete jerk, but even a quick skim of the article revealed several problems – it needs quite a lot of work before I would even consider having it featured on the main page.
A couple unreferenced parts: the whole second paragraph and the last sentence.
Vigorous copy edit needed: many, many places where the prose is missing a "the" or other article.
Other language problems: species names need to be italicized; needs a lot more links for context, and again, a vigorous copy edit (e.g., till 19th Century; and some grammatical problems.
No sectioning, which is surprising, given the length.
The claim Teak, Anogeissus latifolia, Dalbergia sissoo are important species. The source gives that information for Maharashtra, not for the mountains in specific, and in the context of the tropical forests. I would argue that the source doesn't verify the claim, given that it is for a completely different habitat. Even if we consider it as applying to Maharashtra, I consider it a stretch.
I wanted to say yes, was hoping to be able to say yes, but I think we're going to have to let this one go. There's still referencing problems, major ones. Thank-you very much,
TSventon for your work, but if I still think this is going to be a ✗ Fail.
