Criteria
editThe six good article criteria:
- It is reasonable well written.
- the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct;
- The writing is clear and appropriate.
- Please check "These phenotypes were previously incorrectly thought to be related to sex or representing different species". Consider "These phenotypes were previously incorrectly thought to be related to differences between the sexes or to represent different species".
- Consider a comma before "and" in "the upperparts, flanks, and undertail coverts are olive-green and the tail is darker olive-green".
- Consider "According to a 2012 study of genetic data, the black-headed tailorbird is most closely related to the white-eared tailorbird, and these two species are further closest to the yellow-breasted tailorbird". It feels confusing having "most closely" and "closest" in such close proximity. Is there an alternative way to say this that is clearer?
- Change "adults having a 'black phenotype'" to "adults have a 'black phenotype'" for consistent grammar in the list.
- I can see no other obvious spelling or grammar errors.
