Behavioral Ecology Student - Peer Review

Hello, below are some areas and points in the article that I believe need expansion. These are all open the debate, but I feel that they would strengthen the article.

• Renaming the Habits section to Behavior to match other well received butterfly articles.
• Adding information regarding behavior, which may include feeding, predator interaction, or breeding area selection.
• Creating a separate section for migration. Even though they are very sedentary, it might be useful to highlight that fact in a migration section, so it isn't lost in the habits.

WikiProject Peer Review - Heath Fritillary

Hi GRM,

Will keep adding points below. Some are, of course, suggestions and open to debate. Others may be points pertaining to FA/GA but why wait till we get there? Kill those points now, is how I feel. Hope these points are adequate to get you started!

• Requires a copy-edit before you begin, especially in one instance of grammar/language.
• Lead - needs improvement vide lead paragraphs of Wikipedia:Lead_section.
• Description - are sexes alike? Are there any other spp it can be confused with?
• References - I would recommend "cite book", "cite web" and "cite journal" rather than using generic citation templates.
• Many of your references would be on Google Books. Good to link them - at best a limited preview will permit checking of references, at worst in snippet view, the veracity of the reference work can be checked, if not the exact facts being cited.
• Please add alt text to all images, including the taxobox one.
• Bring taxonomy up above the "Life cycle" section.
• Rename "Citations" section as "Footnotes".
• For a butterfly ranging from Europe to Japan the article is very, very Eurocentric. Will run afoul of adequacy of content standards.
• Looks thin on info to me. Have you done a search of Google Books & Google Scholar as yet?
• How about a toolserver dead-link check?
• Update taxobox to include IUCN status.
• Can you get someone to make you a distribution map?
• Is it considered a pest? Does it have any economic significance?
• Alternate names in English anmd other languages?
• There are 11 inter-wiki links. Try checking out those for additional information, images or just ideas.
• Image of egg needed.

Picture of the day

The heath fritillary (Melitaea athalia) is a species of butterfly in the family Nymphalidae, which can be found in heathland, grassland, and coppiced woodlands throughout the Palaearctic. They typically fly close to the ground, though they are generally sedentary and will rarely fly further than 100 metres (330 ft) at a time.Photograph: Darius Baužys

==Original Grading== Very very good start much information is already filled out a few of the topics inside of the article are incomplete but they seem to be worked on soon. Low importance because its and individual species. -- IvanTortuga 02:22, 28 August 2007 (UTC) Sorry, have to disagree on importance rating, as species is equivalent of "red listed" in UK—GRM 18:29, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
