Description and name

The description as given seems inadequate as to coloration. From a wide range of sources, the species seems very variable in coloration, with the basic colour ranging from beige to green to yellow to dark brown/grey. And the most common English name appears to be Bubbling Kassina. Ptilinopus (talk) 11:52, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Finished with the review! Sorry this took me three months to handle, as I was juggling my final undergraduate semester. Given that I am graduating with a degree in Microbiology, I significantly reworded the skin secretion subsection for immunological accuracy.

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

Amazing job overhauling this article! I am really impressed with your ability to identify these 19th and 20th century primary sources from the Biodiversity Heritage Library!

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
Aside from approachable language, the humorous phrasing of "they eat many different prey items, and use skin secretions to avoid becoming prey themselves" gets people interest in ecology/zoology. I tweaked the phrasing since the diet study overwhelmingly identified the species eating arthropods.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
Earwig's Copyvio Detector identifies 31% similarity with itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=663207, low enough to make plagiarism unlikely. The overlap appears to be the list of taxonomic synonyms, which is unavoidable. I extensively checked the article, and all statements seem accurate based on the reliable sources used.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Sufficiently addresses taxonomy, anatomy, geographic distribution, reproduction, and diet.
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
I added a map of the Senegalese running frog's geographic range based on the IUCN Red List's 2013 data.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
Once again, great job!
