Hi there! Your article is very well written and I have no edits in regards to your writing style, word choice, or flow. I enjoyed the three images you added, as well. I did notice that you could include more citations, and you need sources for the entire “Distribution and transport” section, as well as others. Also there are parts where I think you could include a little more detail, for example maybe add the name of the pigment that causes the golden color. I thought the article was extremely polished and readable, and the “Significance to Humans” section is extremely interesting, especially the mammalian neuronal regeneration bit.

This page needs to be moved to "Banana Spiders". There's two of this same page, named by official science name, and then the common name.. Please fix it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.96.51.141 (talk) 23:09, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

broken link

gravity favors smaller males - www.life-of-science... - link seems to be broken. however searching for the title yielded another link - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-10845694 (80.98.114.70 (talk) 20:46, 30 October 2015 (UTC)).

golden silk orb-weaver

This article says:

In the United States, it is commonly known as the ... "golden silk orb-weaver".

But the article golden silk orb-weaver is a redirection to the genus Nephila.

Should golden silk orb-weaver be a fork? --Ettrig (talk) 09:21, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

I think the issue is that "golden silk orb-weaver" is a name that has been applied to all or some species placed in Nephila. Trichonephila was once part of Nephila (as a subgenus), but was split off in 2019. So English names may indeed now refer to some Trichonephila species. So Golden silk orb-weaver should be made an SIA, like e.g. Orange lungless spider, not a plain redirect. Do you want to do this? Peter coxhead (talk) 09:32, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Peer Edit

Great introduction! I really liked your article as it was well-worded and informative. I made some minor edits: I added some links I thought would help the reader follow the article easier (e.g. Orb-weaving spider, toxicity, proteins, etc.) I also made some minor grammatical edits. Aside from these, I moved the Webs section lower, as I think it is behaviorally less essential than the other sections that have more information. I also really enjoyed reading the usefulness in medicine section, it was an interesting read. Keremyucebas (talk) 01:58, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

"only species of the genus Trichonephila indigenous to continental North and South America"

Trichonephila sexpunctata is also native to South America. Should this be rephrased to "indigenous to continental North America"? Jocateme (talk) 22:33, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

I now think it means "to both", which seems to be true. Peter coxhead (talk) 16:25, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
