replies: text: Hi Mdanzo0807! I went back and proofread my article and fixed the grammar mistakes. I also worked on making the links a little better in terms of the name of the link itself as well as the placement of the link in regards to the order and flow of the article. Thanks for your suggestion! BabyPug49 (talk) 04:33, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi! I tackled each one of your critiques and tried by best to take them into consideration as I edited the article. I believe I addressed all the comments that were made. I tried to make the article sound less technical, and more like every day speech; I removed the lines where I addressed specific articles or referred to literature. I also tried to clear up the portion about reproduction and color patterns. I tried to clear up the section on plasticity and how color is related to genetics and environmental factors, but not plasticity. I took out the portion about the spectrophotometer and generalized that. Finally, I aimed to summarize more and clarify what I meant by diversity and density.

thread_title:  Article Review and Edits 

message: I think this article is really well-written! I shortened the lead and moved some of that information to relevant parts of the article. I also restructured some sections so that there are fewer small headings and instead information consolidated into one heading with multiple subheadings. I added a tad bit more information to the ecology and reproduction sections. Other than that, just sentence-level edits to make the writing a bit more clear. I also italicized scientific names.Tulipsareverypretty (talk) 16:57, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Edits for Class

message: I found the thermoregulation section of this article to be most important because of this lizard’s broad distribution throughout palearctic regions. I found it necessary to include more detail on the lizards’ hardiness against the cold as well as its utilization of favorable hydrogeological conditions allowing for survival. I cited an article discussing the thermoregulation of the lizards in Siberia which discussed their characteristics that allow for their distribution in this area. The lizards hibernate in the top surface of soil, which they select because unfrozen groundwater runs specifically through the area and warms it. They find warm microhabitats that do not drop below the freezing point of their body fluids. This hardiness in combination with favorable microenvironment selection allow for their survival in these harsh conditions. I made a few grammatical corrections to the lead section to ensure it used clear and concise language. This allows the reader to understand the background of the article easily before deciding whether or not to read further. I think the lead section is an excellent summary of this article and uses simple language to deliver its point.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Evanmbradley (talk • contribs) 04:25, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Peer Review 11/17/21 

message: The opening paragraphs at least of this article ought to be reviewed and edited. As it is, the introduction jumps straight from the name and taxonomy of the lizard to particulars relating to blood parasites and the diversity of parasitic helminths. The bit on thermoregulation is also unclear and would probably work better somewhere further down the article. I hesitate to start editing very much as I know little about reptile biology and shouldn't want to simply delete stuff that seems unclear. --Rallette (talk) 11:12, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
