File:Battus philenor 02.jpg to appear as POTD soon
editHello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Battus philenor 02.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on April 6, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-04-06. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 17:03, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
Comment
editHi! While there are bits of information on behavior dispersed throughout the article, I think it would benefit from a separate Behavior section, especially with more details on its evolutionary defense (given its poisonous properties). Is there any more information on its behavior? Also, I think that the Description section could benefit from pictures of both males and females to compare, if any exist. Thanks!

Complete reorganization of article
editHi for my school's project I reorgainzed the page, added many new sections with new information, and new refrences. I used the old good informations and repurposed it into my new sections. Old writing is still present just embedded within my sections. Iginsberg (talk) 21:57, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
- Hello! I thought this article was very well written and the lead section provided a good overview of the important topics discussed in the article. I mainly made edits to the grammar and wording of the article, expecially adding in commas where needed. I reworded several sentences to improve clarity. I also worked on the formatting of this article: I removed extra blank paragraphs between sections, and moved some of the images to more relevant sections of the article. Finally, I added additional links to other Wikipedia pages. EmilyKathryn (talk) 02:37, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
- This article was very interesting to read and what a cool butterfly you had! I reorganized the structure of the article a little bit. Mainly, I combined the Description and Life cycle sections because it seemed to flow better that way. It seemed redundant to have sub-headings for each stage of the life cycle in both of the sections. I also added two galleries, one in Life cycle and one in Mimicry. I also converted inches to centimeters because this is a scientific article. Overall, very enjoyable! Uhm.s (talk) 06:04, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
- Your page is very informative and interesting to read. In general, you also have really impressive grammar. Regarding grammar, however, there was one consistent mistake: larva is singular; larvae is plural. I think larva was often treated as plural so I changed all of them accordingly. I changed some wording to be clearer, and specified that Aristolochia is a plant genus, because it's not apparent in the overview. Lastly, I fixed some of the headers so that they meet Wikipedia standards. Overall everything is really well done and you have really good grammar. Ericapryu (talk) 04:22, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
- Your page is great! There is a lot of information here. I suggest expanding on the lead section to reflect the quality of a good article status page. The content of your article is quite in depth and this can help you expand your lead section more. Meganav (talk) 11:41, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- I'm really impressed by the depth you achieved in the life history section. The photos also provided useful information that gave context to the descriptions. One section you could challenge yourself to improve was the oviposition section. How do they choose which leaf to lay eggs on? How do they identify the leaf shape? How often does this lead to mistakes? There is plenty of room to expand on this section if you wish. Cheers. Ecampell22 (talk) 05:03, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
Looks good, the life cycle section is especially thorough. I made a few sentence structure edits, and also removed the unnecessary sentence about tobacco pipe. Crieber (talk) 03:49, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
