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.

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!

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Sufficiently addresses taxonomy, anatomy, geographic distribution, reproduction, and diet.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. 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.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   Once again, great job!
