Small Edits

Hi, As part of a school assignment I reviewed this article and found that it is comprehensive and thorough. I added some information I felt was important to the conservation section, as well as making minor grammatical edits. Iginsberg (talk) 19:40, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Big Changes on 10/2/17

Hi,

I edited this page as part of an assignment for my Behavioral Ecology class at WashU. I added a few new sections and combined some of the older sections with new information. I also deleted some of the information on the page that was not cited. - mullenm05 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mullenm05 (talk • contribs) 06:58, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Mullenm05, cool butterfly --I really enjoyed the history in the Taxonomy section! I made some small grammatical and structural edits, and the Food resources section was not well-developed so I moved that information into the Life history section and deleted it to improve article clarity. You also mention larval diapause in the overview, but it doesn't come up again in the article, so you could add some information about it. There are a couple spots where in-text citations could be added, specifically at the end of the Geographic range section. Thanks! Hanna peterman (talk) 13:53, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Moid.ali, I enjoyed the article as well. I would like to see more of an explanation for the high importance rating of the page as no clear reasoning was provided in the article. Does it have a particular cultural/biological/economic significance? I was not able to find much about this either through a simple google search. I also added a section on clutch sizes with the addition of another source. Hopefully this complements the information provided on the life-cycle well. It seems like there is a lot of fascinating literature out there on this species.

Comments

I think a key strength of this article is the many pictures inserted. However, this article is quite incomplete and could use an addition of many new sections, as it is considered a moth of high importance. It could benefit to know some information on flight habits, parasitism, mutualism, etc. I have made some changes relating to improper grammer, as the common name was capitalized in many places. I also changed the Migration section to Mating as Migration was not mentioned in that section. I also added to your lead section and added some information on diet in a section.

This was a generally good article! It was a little bit short in length and I think it could be greatly improved by adding new sections with more information and fleshing out what is already here a little bit more thoroughly. I also noticed that there were many statements in the article that were uncited and I think it would help the credibility of the article to cite more of your information. This seems like an interesting butterfly to learn about! ClaudiaEE (talk) 05:18, 01 December 2017 (UTC)

Need a more European-wide description of the distribution

This article seems to focus mainly on the occurrence of the butterfly in Finland and the UK. Given that it occurs over most of Europe, a more European-wide view needs to be taken. Also, I have just removed the following sentence, which is clearly rubbish. There are many species of butterflies called Fritillary. Portnadler (talk) 09:59, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

This species of butterfly is uniquely named in that its common name is not "butterfly", but "fritillary".
