Peer review for your proposed Phanuromyia odo article

You made a great choice to create an article on an entirely new species of wasp. You did a good job translating your two reference sources into Wikipedia-form, but there are some small edits you could make to improve your article.
As an article on Wikipedia, it would be best to make your formatting and order of sections more consistent with other articles on Wikipedia (see article on Polistes sulcifer). I believe that the Taxobox, the box containing the phylum and class of the wasp, should be moved to the very top of the article. The "Location" section is informative but not comprehensive, so I would consider moving the section below the "Description" section and (for consistency purposes) renaming the Location section to "Distribution".
In the introductory section about the wasp, consider moving the sentence "The wasp is linked to this character as it also known to have inconsistent physical feature" to right after the first sentence, and rewording such that "The wasp is known to have inconsistent physical features". Facts first then explanation of (name) origins later.
Since this is a very new subject, I understand that you're restricted by the known findings on the wasp. Despite this hurdle, you have a great start. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Redhood1 (talk • contribs) 20:02, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Peer Review

First of all, I think your topic choice is really cool and it’s awesome that you were able to pick it up as soon as an article was released on it. Looking at other bee species articles, something I noticed was that even though you may have limited information due to how recent this discovery is, you may still be able to add the “Taxonomy and phylogenetics” section to your paper. You do have information on the class,order, suborder,genus, and species which is basically what this section consists of but just a more expanded form. You do have the description of the bee in the introduction, however another option that follows the structure of other bee species articles is to add a “Description and identification” section and relocate the description of the bee there. Lastly, “Distribution and habitat” seems to be used more commonly instead of “Location” in the present wikipedia articles on other bee species. Overall, this is a great beginning to this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MB193 (talk • contribs) 00:50, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
