1. Well-written:
  1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. In the sentence in the lead "They had a powerful stinger that was used to subdue prey", who is "they"? Please clarify.

Rewrote.

In the section "Discovery and classification", can you write what monotypy is in parenthesis after the word? Monotypy is a rather technical term. Done.

In the section "P. wappleri", please change "from the Late Oligocene, Aquitanian stage 29 to 30 million years before present" to "from the Aquitanian stage 29 to 30 million years ago" Done.

  1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
  2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
  2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
  2c. it contains no original research.
3. Broad in its coverage:
  3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic. The ecology section needs to be expanded.
I will try and find additional sources.
Ecology has been expanded; the latest addition pretty much covers all known info about its ecology.
  3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
  4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
  5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
  6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
  6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
  7. Overall assessment.

Other:

  • The last paragraph of "Discovery and classification" needs to be split up. The Etymology of the genus cannot be in the same paragraph as the cladogram. Gug01 (talk) 13:50, 10 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Done.

  • In the lead, there is a link to Formicidae that says bulldog ant, so like this: [[Ant|bulldog ant]]. Please fix the link. Gug01 (talk) 14:07, 10 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Done.
