This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 15 September 2020 and 17 December 2020. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Cjing99 (article contribs). Peer reviewers: M.s.w.lee, Delanieludmir, Dyklee.

Edit Request for "The binomial grallator" in the third sentence of the article.

"grallator" in itself is not a binomial. It is a specific epithet. I'm changing this. I don't know if there is an article specifically about specific epithets, but if there is, anyone is welcome to link to it. I wish people who have no taxonomic training would stop providing false information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.112.232.84 (talk) 06:46, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I changed this so it still includes the link to "binomial", but removes the false information about "grallator" being a binomial in and of itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.112.232.84 (talk) 06:55, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Behavioral Ecology Student Suggestions

M.s.w.lee (talk) 00:28, 2 November 2020 (UTC) I added an enemies section. I thought the article was written very well and had great sources. I thought the structure followed the spider article outline.[reply]

5x expanded by Cjing99 (talk). Self-nominated at 01:59, 26 October 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Starting Review --Kev min § 04:30, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Cjing99: Article expansion new enough, but not quite long enough. The 19 Sept 2020 version is 2576 characters, so the current version should be at least 12,880 characters to qualify as a 5x expansion, but by my count it is at 12052 currently. Also the article is a little heading heavy at the moment, the subheadings for the one sentence sections could be left off for now, and added if the sections get longer.--Kev min § 20:13, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Kevmin: I just expanded my article and removed some of the subheadings. Let me know if there is anything else I need to do!--— Preceding unsigned comment added by Cjing99 (talk • contribs)

@Cjing99: Looking good so far, just a quick thing, the last paragraph of the article is not cited/sourced, and a number of paragraphs have sentences at the ends that are not sourced to the any of the references in the paragraphs or articles. If they are part of the reference before them the ref should be moved to accommodate them, and if they are from a different source, they should be cited as such. --Kev min § 18:51, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Article expansion now long enough, all paragraphs are referenced, hook is cited and sourced, with off line sources taken AGF. No policy issues identified in the article. looks good to go.--Kev min § 20:56, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I came by to promote this. The insect is very hard to see, green on green, at thumbnail size, so this won't run with an image. Why don't you add hook interest by calling it by its common name? That would certainly draw clicks. Yoninah (talk) 22:18, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: Thank you for the suggestion! I removed the photo and edited the hook to include the common name instead. Let me know if this looks alright. Cjing99

Behavioral Ecology Peer Review

I have edited the article for grammatical errors and checked for possible syntax errors. I relocated the image that was towards the end of the article to next to "Color morph" as it seemed more relevant. I added two additional images to better showcase the "happy face" pattern of the spider and give an example of a possible habitat (Clermontia arborescens). Overall, this is a very informative article with clear writing. Dyklee (talk) 20:31, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Behavioral Ecology Peer Review

Crystal’s Wikipedia page for Theridio grallato was extremely thorough and informative. In addition, she included many interesting headers that gives readers a clear depiction of the spider’s behavior. Since the Wikipedia page was so thorough and well-written, the two biggest changes I made were removing some phrasing that made sentences sound subjective, such as the word “likely” and phrase “it is believed”. In addition, I added a subheader to make a section shorter. The sub-heading I added was “genetic factors underlying color morphs”, which divided up the color morphs section.
