Before I spend time on this, are you still around on this one? Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:44, 21 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I will make any changes required! Thank you. Catejiang (talk) 14:06, 21 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

1. Well-written:
  1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. Suggest the 'Protective coloration' section wikilinks camouflage; and would suggest using it in the heading instead of PC also, a bit of an old term really. Also link mimicry.

Can't understand the "white continuous design on its back" like bird droppings. Where?

Does one "undergo" a morph? Maybe reword.

  1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. All ok but on layout, I think we could arrange the sections a little better. 3 has 3.1 and 3.1.1 but no other subsections; 4 Parental care and 5 Life history could both go into a chapter on 'Reproduction and life history' say, as could 8 Mating.

Perhaps, too, 7 Subspecies could merge into 2 Geographic range and habitat, if you could indicate where the subspecies live.

2. Verifiable with no original research:
  2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
  2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
  2c. it contains no original research.
  2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism. Earwig happy, too.
3. Broad in its coverage:
  3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic. The Camouflage and mimicry section should be expanded to describe "Predators, parasites, and diseases", with the existing material as (part of) Antipredator adaptations.
  3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
  4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
  5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
  6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
  6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
  7. Overall assessment. Many thanks for the prompt additions. I'm happy to pass the article now, good work!

Comments edit

  • Drive by comment: images should be used near the text they illustrate, WP:galleries should not be used when there is room in the article, as is the case here. For example, the image of the eggs should be used where eggs are described, etc. FunkMonk (talk) 22:14, 21 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
OK, I've sorted that out for them. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:16, 22 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
