Will be dealing with whatever issues you can find. Cheers for the review.-- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 07:14, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

First reading

I have just read through the article and find the prose quality high. A few points I noticed:

• The second paragraph of the Discovery section overuses the word "discovery".
• "However, Trogloraptor exhibits several unique features, like primitive respiratory systems, that justify their separation to a different family." - This sentence is partly in the singular and partly plural.
• "... their habitat and hooked raptorial tarsi." - This uses the word "their" but does not make cleat to what it is referring.
• "... series of light-colored faint chevron markings." - I think the word "faint" should precede "light-colored".
• "They spin primitive webs with only a few strands, from which they hang from the roof of caves." - Do only the males spin webs?

No more time now. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:50, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

 Done I think. I've moved the "primitive webs" sentence to the ecology subsection. -- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 07:35, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
