Talk:Chrysomya rufifacies

I think it is great how the group included the importance of Chrysomya rufufacies in different areas such as medically an economically. It gives the reader an idea of how important this species can be. This article overall is well written and informative. Great job and good luck!Aggie turtle21 (talk) 18:31, 15 April 2008 (UTC)aggieturtle21[reply]

I know the copyright guidelines are difficult but it would be cool if you guys used a picture of the larvae so people would really undertsand why they are called the hairy maggot blowfly. --Angelina5288 (talk) 19:32, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We have this maggot in the urban lab right now--talk to me or Micah and set up a time to come in and take some pictures.ABrundage, Texas A&M University (talk) 20:40, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Really thorough article. My only suggestion would be to create more internal links, possibly with other pages from our classmates. We linked our page to yours! I fixed a sentence in the Forensic section that did not have a space between two sentences. Alli5414 (talk) 01:08, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article is very informative and concise. My only suggestion would be to add a sentence or two, around where you talk about the rufifacies being predaceous, about how in particular it can alter the PMI if it predates on the Cochliomyia macellaria which are usually one of the first Calliphorids to colonize the dead body. So if rufifacies is found on a corpse the forensic entomologist must take this into consideration when figuring out the PMI. Other than that, great article.

Wikified

I really liked this article. It goes into depth on all major subjects. You all covered the basics on life cycle and went into depth on how they affect us economically and medically. I did not realize their importance.I really enjoyed the pics. Nice!dbw279 Overall I think this is a great article. I do believe that the last 3 or 4 sections could have more words that are "wikified" so that the average reader doesn't get lost within all the words. You did a great job with this is the beginning of the article but the ending sounds more like a research paper. I think if you just wikify and maybe split up some paragraphs it will look dandy!

Wikispecies

Hey guys! I just wanted to let you all know about the Wikispecies project [[1]]. Your article fits in with their project, so look into it. ABrundage, Texas A&M University (talk) 20:40, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusion section

Hi, the conclusion section seems out of place and perhaps can be merged into the Forensic importance section. The lead paragraph could also have one or two lines mentioning the economic, medical and forensic importance. --220.255.7.227 (talk) 06:32, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures

This is just a suggestion, but I think it may be a good idea to add a picture of the hairy maggot. Just because this will be seen more commonly in forensics than the adult fly.--Amandamartinez06 (talk) 07:19, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proofread

This article is fantastic. The information presented is extremely well researched and organized. I caught a few typos, so give it a quick read through and you should be golden. Suggestions: scan the "Medical" section for mistakes (first sentence - "in a 'maggot therapy'; last sentence - supposed to 'harmful when involved'??); there are alot of intermittent changes between Chrysomya rufifacies and C. rufifacies, maybe just pick one and stick with it throughout the article; be sure that you use "larvae" for the plural ("Forensic" section - "The facultatively predacious...larva")Manwiches (talk) 12:21, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
