# Talk:Banded bullfrog

Hello all! 
This article has been chosen as this week's effort for WP:Discord's #team-b-vital channel, a collaborate effort to bring Vital articles up to a B class if possible, similar to WP:Articles for Improvement. This effort will run for up to seven days, ending early if the article is felt to be at B-class or impossible to further improve. Articles are chosen by a quick vote among interested chatters, with the goal of working together on interesting Vital articles that need improving.
Thank you! -- ferret (talk) 01:06, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

Article currently claims they are latex like and toxic. Do we have sources for this?©Geni (talk) 17:38, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

Latex-like secretion is listed here though there's no mention of it being toxic. http://online-field-guide.com/Kaloulapulchra.htm Natalius (talk) 16:46, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

The current range map is very slow and inefficient so do please optimize it if possible. GeoJSON data with original source: Wikipedia:Map_data/Range of Kaloula pulchra Natalius (talk) 13:16, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello! I'll be taking a look at this article for the January 2022 GAN backlog drive. If you haven't already signed up, please feel free to join in! Although QPQ is not required, if you're feeling generous, I also have a list of GA nominations of my own right here.


### Infobox and lede
No comma needed after "dark brown back" Y
"low altitudes" Y
Where is it a potential invasive species? Y


### Taxonomy and etymology
Good


### Description
Why are the gram weights not converted into imperial units, but all the length measurements are? Y


### Distribution and habitat
Good


#### As an invasive species
Both the invasive population is under control and no established invasive population has been found need "as of" qualifiers, as those statements are liable to change. Y
 Working on this one a bit more – a helpful IP editor has actioned the other suggestions so far. Thanks for the initial comments! DanCherek (talk) 23:30, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
Alright, added another source for the Florida part, and "as of" has been added! DanCherek (talk) 00:36, 12 February 2022 (UTC)


### Behaviour and ecology
as soon as rain falls I'd go with either "immediately after rainfall" or "soon after rainfall" depending on what's more consistent with the source; sounds a little more encyclopedic
Changed to "soon after rainfall" based on the source. DanCherek (talk) 17:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
No comma needed after "walking and burrowing"
Removed. DanCherek (talk) 17:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
where they can remain for a long time How long?
Edited to read "where they can remain for the duration of the dry season", with an additional source. DanCherek (talk) 18:04, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
"daytime" or "daylight hours"
Changed to "daylight hours". DanCherek (talk) 17:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)


#### Diet, predators, and parasites
No parentheses around from opening of the mouth to closing
Removed. DanCherek (talk) 17:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)


### Pet trade
Most of the first para feels a little trivia/WikiHow-y, save for the sentence about the peat-soil mixes
Rewrote the paragraph, culling some of the instructional text and adding a sentence about diet. Let me know what you think! DanCherek (talk) 18:45, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
"3 to 4 times" → "three to four times" per MOS:NUMERAL
Done. DanCherek (talk) 17:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
"attributed to its muted colours" → "attributed to the bullfrog's muted colours"
Done. DanCherek (talk) 17:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)


### Status and threats
Switch the two sentences and take out "therefore" in the IUCN sentence
Done. DanCherek (talk) 17:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
