QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Surtsicna: Looks mostly good. My only concern is that I see in the Foster article Glass and Foster's shared passion for succulents led them on extensive expeditions. Between 1964 and 1974 they made 15 such trips to Mexico. However, in the article on Glass, it says Partnering with Robert Foster in 1968, the two undertook 18 expeditions to Mexico. – is it 15 or 18? Otherwise should be good to go. BeanieFan11 (talk) 04:25, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

I wondered about that too, BeanieFan11, until I realized that there is actually no discrepancy. It's 15 expeditions between 1964 and 1974 and 18 altogether. Presumably there were three expeditions after 1974. Surtsicna (talk) 13:49, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
