[edit] Comments on the page

Please refer your log on WikiProject Lepidoptera. You wanted some comments so here they are please.

• Nice page! Got the idea it was a new one but you have obviously worked a long time on it. It appears to be almost mature.
• I had thought of leaving all changes to you but felt that you may like a view of how this article could look. Feel free to revert the changes if you want to, I did these just as an example. There are obviously better ways to do things, which both you and I need to discover.
• Do consider arranging all the information under separate headings, even if it is one line only. For example, this article now has range, larva, pupa, adult, foodplants and sexual dimorphism with information under them. WikiProject Lepidoptera suggests a format at Wikipedia:WikiProject Lepidoptera#Format for article.
• You had a mistake in your male moth wikitext given below :-

[[Image:Imperial adult male1 sjh.JPG|thumb|150x|left|Male ''Eacles imperialis'']] .

Can you spot it? I have amended it and moved the images right. Now your images line up. If you are into serious authorship, like me, you have to learn to handle images sooner or later. You can learn how here.

• You would probably have sourced your information from some book, say, the life cycle information, or range, or classification. You need to attribute this text. Do remember that direct biological observations or research can only be put up after publishing as a peer-reviewed article or field note in an appropriate journal. This rule has its pluses and its minuses, but needs to be observed all the same.
• Do add links below, both wiki and external, to richen your 'soup'. Some obvious ones from Wikipedia should not be ignored. A person who is new to biology may land here directly from a Google or Yahoo search. He needs context.

Oh yeah, confused the Saturniids and Sphingids. You're into Sphingids and that stuck somewhere in my mind. Do delete that link.

I think that should cover the major issues. Wishing you all the best in writing more and better articles in Wikipedia. Regards, AshLin 10:03, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
