A few additional things I would recommend would be to use the actual name, Paratrigona Subnuda sometimes instead of Earth Jatai for variety and to reinforce that they are just different names. Colony growth seems smaller than the other sections, so expanding it even by a sentence or two might make the article look more balanced. I would also recommend adjusting the last sentence because it’s a little wordy and I’m not sure exactly what it means. I just made some minor additions, like adding categories and fixing heading capitalization, as well as some grammar fixes for clarity. I tried to get rid of the "orphan" status but I couldn't find it mentioned in any existing articles. Courtney.cleveland (talk) 22:16, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate all the hard work that went into this article. To start, I changed all instances of the use of the name “Earth Jataí” to the species name “P. subnuda” because that is a common name in Portuguese. Given that this is the English language Wikipedia, I think it is appropriate to mention the common name at the beginning of the article, but to refer to the species by its actual name throughout the rest of the article. Moreover, I added some page links to the article in hopes of increasing traffic to the page, specifically Neotropical, Mesoamerica, eusociality, and a few others. I also removed the article’s orphan status by linking to the species in the general page about stingless bees. I made some minor punctuation and wording edits in order to make the article flow a little better in some parts. I’d love to see some information on how P. subnuda interact with humans. What is their ecological importance to us? How do they impact our ecological niche? Overall, though, well done! Mebennett49 (talk) 02:10, 30 September 2015 (UTC)Mebennett49[reply]

I was very impressed by the thoroughness and level of research done for this Wikipedia page. The Behavior section especially, was very in depth and taught me a large amount about this species. In editing this Wikipedia page, I first focused on looking for grammatical errors. I found that there were a few places in which the flow of the article could be stronger, in addition to some spelling and grammar missteps that I edited. Additionally, I added in the heading “Nest Structure” within the Description and Identification category and the headings “Colony Growth” and “Colony Initiation” in the colony cycle category in order to emphasize clarity and conciseness, both which were listed in the Wikipedia guideline for a good article.
