Okay, I will make straighforward copyedits as I go (see edit summaries for explanations) - and note queries below: Casliber (talk · contribs) 10:13, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Any other information on taxonomic history would be good in making section less "listy"
    • I usually give less about taxonomic history as it's Greek to most readers. I've given more for this species because the confusion over the male morphs are amusing. --Philcha (talk) 14:41, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is there no specific info on feeding?
    • The biggest weakness in this article. Remember that Salticid-ology is recent, and there are great gaps in the sources - most concentrate on one aspect (mating displays here, but not e.g whether she eats him after; or the camouflage of Phaeacius, whose sex life is a mystery). Only Portia fimbriata is well-rounded, and a lot of that applies only to the Queensland variant, which has AFAIK the most complex behaviour of the lot. --Philcha (talk)
  • Looking on web of science, I found the following not used in the article:

Anyway...I can help try and get fulltexts of above if tricky...Casliber (talk · contribs) 10:33, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Overall:

Pass or Fail: - tricky. I am torn a bit about how we navigate lack of species-specific content in taxa we have little info on, so I understand this is difficult. Ultimately the article might be a little too heavy on nonspecific info, but then again it helps greatly in understanding the critter. In any case, not a deal-breaker, and article has enough to remian focussed. Casliber (talk · contribs) 02:27, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
