Talk:Gabon talapoin

message: Hi just thought I should leave a note here. 'Gabon talapoin seldom ascends to higher levels' have been clarified to 'Gabon talapoin seldom ascends to higher levels in trees'. So I've removed the 'clarification needed' tag NoEsPu102 (talk) 09:52, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clarified Habitat section 

message: Hi . Nice work expanding the article. A few suggestions:
* The lede needs to be expanded. It should be a summary of the article's main points. Right now, there's nothing about diet, reproduction, or what it looks like. All of that info should in the lede.
* All units should be converted into imperial measurements as well as metric ones. It's easiest to use the  template. (You have an example to follow in the Habitat section).
* I'd suggest you put the Description section before Habitat and range. And you say there are no color differences between sexes and ages, but then delay telling us what color they are for many sentences! Start with the overall color and then tell us about eyelids, ears, etc.
* Be sure to add a language parameter for any reference not in English.
* Once you've finished, it could use a good copyedit! The Guild of Copy Editors could help.

:*agree with above comments, reckon its a c class at the mo, carrying out the above would strengthen its "cness", possibly push it into b territory(?).  (kitten stalker - meowr!) Coolabahapple (talk) 16:28, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Really appreciate the helpful comments! Will work on it in the next few days and update here again asap. Looking forward to getting this to a B class or higher together! :) NoEsPu102 (talk) 03:00, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I've expanded the lede, converted measurements, rearranged the sections and also edited some areas. I've tried to find out how but I'm still unsure on adding a language parameter for one of the references. That reference was actually added by the previous author, and I can't find the original source nor do I understand that language. But the information used from that source has no issues, and I've backed it up with one of my references as well (I didn't want to just delete another author's reference). Would appreciate some guidance on this! NoEsPu102 (talk) 01:44, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  A few comments 

message: Great work on the article so far NoEsPu102! Here are my comments (sorry if I am nit-picking, overall a decent article):
Lede
*It may have been introduced to Fernando Poo and the Canary Islands. Typo here? Maybe say Bioko if that's what is meant. 
::This was written by the previous author and I've checked the source for this and it was indeed Fernando Poo and Canary Islands NoEsPu102 (talk) 02:15, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess it was unnecessary to use 'clearly', I was trying to convey there's a clear distinction between the two species now that both have been named. I've also moved the common name to the front, thanks for flagging this NoEsPu102 (talk) 02:15, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for clarifying on this! I was unclear on it as I saw some featured articles with long leads but no references at all! I've expanded it as well to cover a bit of information from every sections NoEsPu102 (talk) 02:15, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

text: Thank you for this suggestion! NoEsPu102 (talk) 02:15, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

text: Edited thanks! NoEsPu102 (talk) 02:15, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

text: I've added some more information, hopefully it flow a little better NoEsPu102 (talk) 02:15, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

text: Yes that's the idea. I've tried to make it more clear. NoEsPu102 (talk) 02:15, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

text: I've tried to make this more clear as well. Population can indeed double near human settlements, but there is also an accompanying overall population decline NoEsPu102 (talk) 02:15, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

text: I think in context "However, the overhunting of larger animals has caused a shift in target...", the two statements are not that contradicting? NoEsPu102 (talk) 02:15, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

text: Edited thanks! NoEsPu102 (talk) 02:15, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

text: I would the next step is to find some more images, hopefully of a better quality than exists at the moment. A clear full body shot for the taxobox would be great! Cheers, Jack (talk) 08:48, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep I've been looking for useable media! But I've yet to find any clear pictures in the public domain or on Wikimedia commons. I've added a clear image of the Angolan talapoin instead to show the comparison in facial skin colour between the two species mentioned in the text. Thank you so much for the detailed comments! They were really helpful NoEsPu102 (talk) 02:15, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
