Hi! I would like to review this article. My first comments:
Lead
[edit]- Eciton army ant is a way of referring to this species. It should be in bold rather than italics.
Done.
- Polymorphic should be linked. Don't link it elsewhere in the article.
Done.
- Use convert template in 200 meters
Done.
- Please expand the lead. It should have more relevant details in it so that it appears as a perfect summary.
- Instead of writingEciton burchelli everywhere in the article, abbreviate as E. burchelli
Description
[edit]- Again, use convert template in 3 mm to 12 mm
- ranging from 3 mm to 12 mm in what? Length or any other characteristic? If it does not deal with the physical description, don't include it here
- Their long...bivouacs use references
- Range should be an independent section. Try to expand it and use more references.
- Taxonomy should be an independent section also, in fact the first section. Mention that Westwood named it. Add a sub-section Subspecies and discuss about them (if enough data is available) I wish you to merge the "Associated species" part into this section. It is important. Expand this as well.
- Clarify, what is original publication?
Eusociality
[edit]- This section speaks more about eusociality than the species discussed. You must be careful that all the information is restricted to what relation eusociality has wth the species. You may define eusociality here, but not more than that. I have not gone through it, for I am not an expert to understand this. So please see that you talk more of the species and less of eusociality. Further comments about this section after you finish doing this.
Colony structure
[edit]- R. Jaffe et al. Who are they? Clearly mention their names and professions.
Nesting
[edit]- Delete the duplicate link Hymenoptera
Done.
- Evaporation is too common a word to link
Done.
Foraging practices
[edit]- The inbound ants on the trail deliver prey that was captured by the outbound swarming ants. No reference
- Use convert templates
- Delete duplicate link nomadic
Antbirds and kleptoparasitism
[edit]- Delete duplicate link bivouac
Done.
Gene flow
[edit]- Delete duplicate link haplodiploidy
Done.
References
[edit]- Don't use capitals in ref 7, 15, 20, 24, 27
I don't know how to fix this.
Rest appears good to me. I do not enter much in the material, I hope you have included correct facts. Please respond soon. Good luck! Sainsf <^>Talk all words 13:09, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
- I am very sorry, but I have to fail this article, because you have not responded since fifteen days. This should not discourage you, however - you should go on with your good work. But please don't be late to reviews. Good luck! Sainsf <^>Talk all words 14:07, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
