Section headings and capitalization of common names

Just a note that on Wikipedia the standard way of writing section headings is in sentence case. That is, the first word is capitalized and subsequent words are not capitalized unless they include a proper noun. That's explained at MOS:HEADINGS in our Manual of Style. Also common names are not capitalized unless they include a proper noun (explained at MOS:LIFE.  SchreiberBike | ⌨  01:40, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

New Edits

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have done much research and have made this entry more complete. It now has multiple categories and a lot more detailed information. Also, fixed some grammar mistakes. Sahilmehta97 (talk) 02:49, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Review of Cadra figulilella

Hello.

The article was very informative and academically engaging. The article's broad range of sections was interesting and easy to read. If possible, adding few pictures would enhance the reader's understanding of the article.

Regarding the edits that I made, I reworded some sentences in the lead section to make it more concise and added few hyperlinks(wiki-links) so that readers with no background in biology could easily follow the article.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! Sungjaepark (talk) 10:05, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

I can see that there are not many photos available for the raisin moth species. I think the article could be improved even with the addition of photos that are relevant to the content (even if they are not of the moth itself). I added photos of the raisin moth’s enemies, but feel free to change or take them down if you want. I also linked your references to either the source itself or to websites where the article could be found. I made a few minor edits to help finalize this article, such as the addition of hyperlinks to some topics. The overall article is good and covers a good range of topics. I like how the introduction provides a good overview of the moth. J.j.lee (talk) 18:13, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

I think your overview is well written and concise but very interesting as well, so great job on that! I enlarged some photos because there are still so few photos on this page. I also made some minor changes. Throughout the article, I added links to some key or uncommon words. I removed some repetition in your list of host plants. Overall, your sections are informative and well fleshed out in terms of content, but I have a few small suggestions. Some of your information in the “Egg” section under “Life history” is more about oviposition, which could fall under a new “Oviposition” subsection under “Parental care” (as seen on the butterfly outline we received). It is possible that the information in “Description” could be divided and relocated under “Life history.” For example, the description of the eggs could fall under the “Egg” section instead, and likewise for the description of the adult. However, it is just my personal preference. J.j.lee (talk) 17:17, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

Peer Review

Hi, I am peer-reviewing this article for Behavioral Ecology.I thought that the article was very informative on the behaviors of the raisin moths! It also gave a good overview of the species and covered a range of topics well. I tried to look for pictures too, but could find none unfortunately.

I moved the Physiology section into a Description section, as I think this more accurately describes the information in that section. I also took out the "non-plant foods" section in the Food Resources section because while the insect is polyphagous, a section for non-plant foods when the insect is herbivorous does not seem to add a lot of information. I also moved the "Plant stimulants and deterrents to herbivory" section into the "Interactions with humans" section as I thought this was more relevant there than in Food Resources. I thought that the parental care section information better fit under Life History, as there is no indication of parental care beyond oviposition of eggs, which can describe the egg stage of the life cycle. I also split the Life History section into different life stages. I removed "Gravenhorst" and "Say" from the names of the parasitoids as they are just the last names of the people who discovered those species. I made minor grammar fixes and added some citations to sentences that needed them. Jerryshen (talk) 22:43, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello! I am also reviewing this article. Overall, it's very strong but there are a few important changes to be made. Primary, you have a large issue with photos in this article. If I were you I would take out every single photo you currently have and only replace them with actual photos of the butterfly. I know it can be challenging to find photos that aren't copywrited, but you need a real photo of the butterfly. Also, I wouldn't add photos of the predator/berries/parasite unless the butterfly is also somehow in the photo. It just doesn't feel relevant. Secondly, your introduction is too long and detailed. Leave it for the article. It seems like you chose a few random things and put way too much in the intro. Finally, you should take out the sentence about california in the habitat section, since you just had a section on geographic range. Other than those, great job!
