Plans to Edit

Hello! I will be editing this page and adding more references throughout the next few months for my behavioral ecology class. I would like the status of the page to move up from a Stub article to B or GA status. I appreciate any feedback and help you have to offer. HBrodke (talk) 17:39, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

I appreciate the amount of hard work and research that went into this article, particularly in the “Behavior” section. Great job! I made a few edits, though the article already provides a great overview of T. angustula. To start, I made a few edits to the capitalization of the headings in order to comply with Wikipedia standards. I added some additional page links in hopes of increasing traffic to the article, specifically Hymenoptera, Meliponini, eusociality, and a few others. I changed the punctuation in some areas (e.g. putting “%” instead of “percent”) to reduce unnecessary verbosity. Moreover, I changed the wording of a few sentences so that they were easier for me to read and comprehend. I’d love to see some more information on nest mate recognition. How specifically does T. angustula recognize its nest mates? Overall, well done! Mebennett49 (talk) 01:46, 30 September 2015 (UTC)Mebennett49

This was a great and thorough article! I rearranged the overview paragraph, moving the other names that it is called to the beginning of the paragraph in case those names are helpful in someone identifying if this was the article they were looking for. I also reworded portions of that paragraph for clarity and grammar. Throughout the article I made minor changes to sentence structure and word choice to make the article as clear and flowing as possible. I also switched the Nursing and Mating section because it seemed that nursing came before and at the end of the mating section, oviposition is mentioned as coming before and the Nursing section begins with oviposition. Those were the major changes that I made. --Danakes6 (talk) 05:48, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

This is a fantastic article and it clearly required a lot of hard work and research! I enjoyed learning about the context of Tetragonisca angustula with respect to its relations with humans. I don't know how detailed the research on this particular bee is, but I think the article would benefit from a more detailed description of the colony cycle. For my part, I corrected a few typos/grammatical mistakes, and I cleaned up an awkward sentence that referred to research which was clearly cited in the first place. My major change was to add several links within the article to other wikipedia articles in order to elucidate its content and make it less isolated from the overall Wikipedia encyclopedia. I hope my changes helped! Great job! Kulshrestha51 (talk) 01:54, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
