Talk:Siblicide

Inappropriate tone tag

First paragraph uses unclear writing style, abbreviates "siblings" to "sibs", and includes a rhetorical question. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xaajjaax (talk • contribs) 12:07, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Looks like this has been corrected. Anyway the phrase

The fact that such a sacrifice occurs indicates an evolutionary tendency in some taxa toward improved vertical gene transmission in families or a higher percentage of the unit in reaching a reproductive age in a resource-limited environment.

lacks of punctuation and clarity (to the point of being ununderstandable to me). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.65.232.156 (talk) 04:51, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Lead

You might want to have a look at WP:Lead to see how a lead section should be structured. Ideally they should just be a summary of the rest of the article and there should be no new information that is not already covered in the body of the article. The lead here looks far too long and detailed. It is also one of the requirements of Good articles, so it will need to be addressed before it is passed.

GA fail

I am quick failing this GA nomination.

• The article is very poorly referenced and no attempt has been made to prepare it for GA nomination.
• The lead section is too long and contains information that should be in the body of the article. It contains a citation needed tag.
• The section "Siblicide represented mathematically" has no reference at all.

The article can be renominated for GA status after it has been improved. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 15:04, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Oophagy "Seee also" link

Shouldn't a link to Oophagy be added to the "See also" section of this article, and in turn a link to Siblicide added too a "See also" section on the Oophagy article? I'd do it myself right away, but since I'm not a biology expert (not at all), quite inexperienced in Wikipedia editing and not fluent in the English language (not to mention presently being under the effect of combined GABAergic drugs), I decided it would have been wiser to ask first than to just be bold and do it. --93.40.155.93 (talk) 01:24, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Since I've got no answer, I'm going to add the links. After all, I can't help but see intrauterine cannibalism as exhibited by the grey nurse shark as a form of siblicide. If I'm wrong, just revert my edits. --Totmole (talk) 01:43, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
