I'll take a look. I will make straightforward changes as I go and jot queries below. Please revert if I accidentally change the meaning. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 06:23, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
- W
hen you mention someone for the first time, generally best to use their full name and a descriptor, such as "American naturalist Edward Drinker Cope" etc.- I fixed it. SL93 (talk) 16:42, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
Why is it understood to be a distinct species?- I expanded upon that. SL93 (talk) 16:42, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
Subspeciesdoes not belong under behaviour - you can place either under description or taxonomy- I fixed it. SL93 (talk) 16:42, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
Taxonomyis better than nomenclature as it allows us to discuss why it is a separate species etc.
- In references section, some names are "Smith J" and others are "Smith, J." - choose one format and go with it.
- I fixed it.
Regarding External links - are any worthy of keeping if we look at WP:EL?- I removed them.
It has been rated on iucn redlist - I have added to infobox. a note should be in text. see Eastern brown snake as an example of how to put in text- Fixed. SL93 (talk) 16:45, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
This sentence - Similar to snakes, the species will hibernate in a hibernaculum - should be in behaviour not description. Also what does it hibernate in and what months is it doing this from and does this change across its range?- I think I fixed it. The sources don't state that it changes across its range, but I assume that it doesn't because there is nothing to the contrary.

- I think I fixed it. The sources don't state that it changes across its range, but I assume that it doesn't because there is nothing to the contrary.
Put measurements in metric and imperial, best done with a conversion template (again, see Eastern brown snake if unfamiliar with this)- Fixed. SL93 (talk) 16:54, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
Similarly further reading? If these are useful should we be referencing them?- I removed it because it was there before I got to the article. SL93 (talk) 16:42, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
You say they are endangered in some states yet only mention Iowa. The others should be put in.- I fixed it. My earlier edits were wrong too. SL93 (talk) 16:42, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
@Casliber: I think that I fixed all of these concerns. SL93 (talk) 17:22, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
