A recent discussion of theoretical work on the {sup 25}Al(p,{gamma}){sup 26}Si astrophysical reaction rate [W.A. Richter, B. Alex Brown, A. Signoracci and M. Wiescher Phys. Rev. C 83 065803 (2011)] omits some current and relevant experimental information in forming its scientific conclusions. Accounting for this new information has the potential to significantly alter the reaction rate derived in the paper.
