Description and name edit

The description as given seems inadequate as to coloration. From a wide range of sources, the species seems very variable in coloration, with the basic colour ranging from beige to green to yellow to dark brown/grey. And the most common English name appears to be Bubbling Kassina. Ptilinopus (talk) 11:52, 20 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Finished with the review! Sorry this took me three months to handle, as I was juggling my final undergraduate semester. Given that I am graduating with a degree in Microbiology, I significantly reworded the skin secretion subsection for immunological accuracy.

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

Amazing job overhauling this article! I am really impressed with your ability to identify these 19th and 20th century primary sources from the Biodiversity Heritage Library!

  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, spelling, and grammar):   b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):  
    Aside from approachable language, the humorous phrasing of "they eat many different prey items, and use skin secretions to avoid becoming prey themselves" gets people interest in ecology/zoology. I tweaked the phrasing since the diet study overwhelmingly identified the species eating arthropods.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):   d (copyvio and plagiarism):  
    Earwig's Copyvio Detector identifies 31% similarity with itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=663207, low enough to make plagiarism unlikely. The overlap appears to be the list of taxonomic synonyms, which is unavoidable. I extensively checked the article, and all statements seem accurate based on the reliable sources used.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):   b (focused):  
    Sufficiently addresses taxonomy, anatomy, geographic distribution, reproduction, and diet.
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:  
  6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
    I added a map of the Senegalese running frog's geographic range based on the IUCN Red List's 2013 data.
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  
    Once again, great job!
