Ways to improve Scent Rubbing edit

Hi, I'm Elmidae. Hayleybaker, thanks for creating Scent Rubbing!

Nice job! Could you please clean up a last few issues to apply some polish? a) Remove refernces from the lead - the lead should only summarize the main points already covered in the text, where they are hopefully already referenced; b) move all inline reference achors after the punctuation; c) add a number of suitable categories to make the article easy to find through lists and category pages; d) construct suitable links FROm other related pages so that readers can follow hyperlinks and land here (otherwise this page will be very hard to find other than through the one specific search term).

I just noticed that there is a well-developed section on scent marking at Territory_(animal)#Spraying. Consider updating both your material and the material in that section so that they supplement refer to each other, and hyperlinking the section and your article! --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 10:00, 26 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi Elmidae, I fixed many of the things you mentioned. I had already linked scent marking within my article, but I just added a section and linked my page to the scent marking one. I also moved the references to behind the punctuation. I will work on the other two points today. Thanks for you help! - Hayley --Hayleybaker (talk) 12:42, 26 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
