[edit]

I need to come back to this and overhaul some more stuff I think but I've just done a bit of an unplanned overhaul on this. Initially I was just going to fix all the formatting and spelling errors in species names (capitalisation, italics etc.), but it snowballed. Without going into excessive detail, changes include: various spelling errors (Andes, phytotelmata, "specie" etc.), grammatical changes for clarity, and correcting some information because I've read those papers before and I know they don't say what was written in this article. I also removed the following sentence:

The specie is also part of the Highland morph of the genus Ranitomeya, whereas the lowland morph is R. ventrimaculata

I cannot access the paper in question, and I believe it's referencing the taxonomic revisions of the genus that shuffled R. ventrimaculata in and out of existence...but even knowing that, unless someone can explain which populations were shifted between R. variabilis and R. ventrimaculata I can't see a point in keeping it. Anyway, I'll probably come back and edit it further soon, there's more than a few things need further polishing, fixing and condensing I think. Hedge89 (talk) 01:05, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I read through this article and mainly focused on changing the section order to match the provided article for frog articles. I noticed the lack of a section for Description, and moved the information previously given under "morphology" to be under a description section. I also created a separate section for the given information on Conservation so it can be more easily found in the article. The article is well written, but it is lacking a picture of the species which is something the author should consider adding. Mashal Naqvi (talk) 22:56, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed multiple grammatical errors that made the article difficult to understand and combined the Mating and Reproduction sections, which both discussed the same topic of this species' courtship calls. I agree with the previous comment that a picture of this frog would be excellent, but I was unable to find an image on Wikimedia Commons.I Bet on Losing Frogs (talk) 05:11, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I thought the article had common together really well and was very good, but was missing images. I tried to find some but unfortunately I could not find any copyright-free. I thought the lead section did not do justice to the rest of the article or grab the reader's attention, so I added two paragraphs to it summarizing the most interesting features of the frog and giving a basic description -- since I was not able to find an image to add. Hopefully someone will be able to find one. Luiscville (talk) 06:22, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Splashback Poison Frog

[edit]

Splashback Poison Frog redirects to this page. It shouldn't! Adelphobates galactonotus is the species by that name. Can someone help with this? I don't know how to fix redirects. Chillidobe (talk) 02:20, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
