AryKun Many thanks as always. Chiswick Chap (talk) 05:59, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

• The lead's a bit thin; it's basically just the definition and Pouyanne's original observation. I'd add some more details about the details of the phenomenon from In orchids.
  • Added.

"three species, a mimic" Should be a (semi?) colon or something.

• • Edited.

• I like the graph, great visual representation.
  • Thank you.

• Do no plants other than orchids show Pouyannian mimicry?
  • Seems not. If it is one day found in other families, it'll likely be chemical and tactile, not visual.

• "One mechanism" mechanism for what?
  • glossed.

• "Floral mimicry...mating signals." this bit seems better suited at the start of Definition.
  • Rearranged.

• "Such plants" Has no referent since previous sentence doesn't mention any specific type of plant.
  • The earlier mention is "Flowering plants that do not produce such rewards".

• "at the population level" Not quite sure what this means, do you mean "at the level of individual populations" or thereabouts?
  • Yes.

• "pollinators involve" to "pollinators involves"
  • Done.

• Any link for sensory trap?
  • Added.

• Not required for GA ig, but I'd add translated titles for the French articles.
  • Added.

• What makes South Coast Orchid Society an RS?
  • They are specialists in their field, and very unlikely to be lying about the subject.

• Refs 1, 3, 6, 11, 12, and 13 look like they have page ranges too long for the claims they're used to cite.
  • Standard practice when citing scientific papers is just to cite the whole article.

• Will spot-check later, that's all I have for now. AryKun (talk) 20:02, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Many thanks.
