Comments from The Rambling Man (talk · contribs)

As ever, non-expert comments, but some things that I noticed...

  • Latin phrases I believe should be italicised, you and your students should be aware of Wikipedia:Naming conventions (fauna).
  • Taxonomy section should be expanded and referenced.
  • What are flagellomere?
  • No need to use the same reference to cite every single consecutive sentence (e.g. [3] is used six times in eight sentences..., [7] is used seven times in seven sentences...)
  • En dash (–) should be used for numerical ranges. Again, use the WP:DASH as a guide for you and the students. Including page ranges in references.
  • What are setae?
  • Avoid 3-4 days, say three to four days instead.
  • Units need conversion so use the {{convert}} template to provide mm and inches, C and F etc.
  • Don't put spaces between punctuation and units (e.g. [6]) per WP:CITE).
  • Size images per WP:MOS#Images

That's a good start for you. Please ensure these comments are implemented across all of your entomological peer reviews. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:25, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
