In the first paragraph, there should be an introduction to what a nine banded armadillo is and say "a great example of polyembryony is..." as opposed to jumping right into the fact that they typically birth 4 identical young at a time. There should be subheadings for mammals, insects, and plants since all three are capable of undergoing polyembryony. The article jumps from insects to plants (botany and plants separated, when they should be combined), and then back to insects. Rework the organization of this article and find more primary or secondary literature to reinforce the statements being said. Many statements are lacking a citation, which needs to be incorporated into the article. Verashark (talk) 14:59, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello. Your article is very informative and offers a lot of detail about polyembryony in many different taxa. However, I think you can improve this article by adding more to the introduction header. Adding more to the last sentence of the introduction, such as "species of vertebrates, invertebrates, and plants..." can help tie this section in with the proceeding sections. Otherwise, this article offers a lot of information and is written fairly well.Abigail elaine13 (talk) 00:30, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

The article is very well written and very informative! I think the only thing that I would suggest is making sure to cite link "zygote" under the plants section. Some readers may not know what a zygote is and would be able to be redirected to a wikipage that explains it. Also, if there are cite links available for the scientific family names under the section invertebrates, I would cite link those as well. Other than that, awesome job on writing this article!

Hi. Overall this article provides a good overview of polyembryony. I think it could be improved by linking more terms to other (current) wikipedia articles, as they might not be familiar to the reader. An example of this would be the different families that undergo polyembryony. Woollyworm (talk) 15:07, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

Hey! I really like the article. I thought that the organization is pretty good and like how it's split it up into vertebrates, invertibrates, and plants. One thing that i think could be improved upon is italicizing all the scientific names to make it easier to read/follow. Trevanian153 (talk) 00:27, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi! One of the main things I noticed while reading through this article is that it relies on relatively few sources for a lot of information related to the various topics you've discussed. I don't know if that's because materials or limited or not, but more sources can only ever be a good thing. Cipherbug (talk) 19:04, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
