Talk:Tomicus piniperda

Untitled

I just made the last paragraph clearer (the first colony in North America was found in 1992 - not the first colony ever - and Linneus was around in the 1600s, not after 1992). 129.97.81.23 (talk) 14:26, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Student Comments for class

I am giving feedback to a classmate in my behavior ecology class. I think you did a really great job with this article and I learned a lot about your beetle. Some things I would consider would be to rearrange some of your images (mainly just the first one) to make spacing easier to read as it felt very cramped. Your grammar was very good and I was able to follow along with a lot of what you wrote. The only thing I would add for a better flow of the article would be to consider possibly rearranging your sections, such as the last fungal section to be talked about earlier. Overall, great job! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:6C40:75F0:11C0:153F:C9B3:24DF:4F28 (talk) 04:06, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Great article! Minor edits 04/07/24

I thought this article was very well written and organized. I liked how you had the overall category of behavior, which was then broken up into smaller categories. I made some grammatical edits throughout the article. A few specific edits included changing the first sentence in sections to include the beetle's name instead of saying "it", fixing a few typos where there was an F in the middle of the word "studies" and adding the word "the" where it was needed, and fixing comma placement.

Description section

This section includes more specific information about things like feeding and life cycle that I think could be under their own separate section instead of grouping it all under "Description". MiJiEm (talk) 17:33, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

• @Jaden.l17: The article is not a new creation, having been created back in 2008. It also hasn't been expanded five-fold within the last seven days. Will you be able to expand this to make it eligible for DYK? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:06, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
  • As this is nowhere close to a 5x expansion, I have rejected it.
