Editing Wiki Page

Hi, I'll be editing this Wiki page for the next week on/off pretty heavily--if there's something egregious you see, please let me know! But also, please don't delete anything as such, as I am still adding!. Thank you! NK2015 (talk) 12:45, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just added four new subsections and ten citations to support the information under those subsections underneath the larger section of brood parasitism to expand that behavior. I focused on the discovery of this behavior, the use of acoustics and how the butterfly use it to manipulate role social rank in the host hierarchy, how the P. rebeli integrates into the host and why it chooses to parasitize the M. schencki, and its polymorphic larval growth.

Just corrected a couple of grammar mistakes that I think made the article flow a bit more easily. Also, I realized that one of my sentences did not have the citation to support it (I had gotten it from a citation that I had cited earlier on in the article, but I had forgotten to attribute that particular sentence to the article as well) so I corrected that.

I fixed a couple of disambiguation links (about 3-4) by linking them properly or by unlinking them altogether. NK2015 (talk) 10:27, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Editing Round 2

Keeping the reviews in mind, which asked me to add more about its adult stage and threats facing this species, I added three more sections and contributed to two of the previous subsections (Discovery of Brood Parasitism and Polymorphic Growth). The three subsections I added focus on the P. rebeli's interactions with its host plant Gentiana cruciata (which it also parasitizes and depends on) and how it is parasitized by the wasp Ichneumon eumerus. I also added a section on the classification conflicts about whether or not it is a separate species from the P. alcon and briefly described the contrasting behavior between these two butterflies. Its relationship with the Gentiana cruciata is present both before it is taken in by the Myrmica ants and as an adult, so I was able to expand a little bit upon its adult stage. Also, I tried to incorporate threats facing it by discussing the parasitic Ichnuemon eumerus and including a couple of sentences of how researchers believe that conservation efforts need to be focused on its food plant as that will have a direct effect on the P. rebeli as well.

Also, I will be editing this article a lot more, particularly in the course of the next week, as I am aware that there are grammatical issues/redundancies that I need to fix (so please don't delete any entire sections because I will get back to fixing them stylistically). I just wanted to get the content up in case there were serious problems with it and someone could point out any changes I needed to make! Thanks for bearing with me!

Just added a new section on appearance, taxonomy, and the habitat of the P. rebeli. Also, I am trying to get this article up to Good Article status, so if anyone has any advice, please let me know! I'm going to try to look for conservation efforts next (I'm unable to find anything to do with why it is named the rebeli). NK2015 (talk) 19:33, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Review

This is a very well written, informative, and interesting section on brood parasitism. I did not change anything in the article. In future additions, it would be nice to talk about other types of behavior as well as the threats facing this species, and why it is endangered.Abuatois (talk) 00:34, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Review 2

This article is very well-written. I only added one or two commas that seemed to be missing. Looking ahead, I think it would be a good idea to add more information about the phengaris rebeli during its adult stages. Overall, it is very good!
