thread_title: Editing Wiki Page

message: 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!

thread_title: Editing Round 2

message: 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)
thread_title: Review

message: 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!

thread_title: Review 2

message: Areas for elaboration are the appearance and habitat section. This article is very comprehensive and covers a wide array of topics about the organism. In the introductory section, maybe you should hold off on describing the specifics of its parasite activity until the brood parasitism section below. It is confusing, does the Phengaris rebeli parasitize the foodplant early in the butterfly’s lifecycle or in the plant’s life cycle.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Batoburen (talk • contribs) 00:19, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: Hi, as part of a Behavioral Ecology class at Washington University in St. Louis, I am adding my thoughts on this article and potential areas of improvement. I think that this article provides a well-written and informative description of the butterfly's brood parasitism. However, I think that this article would provide a better general overview of the butterfly with additional information on social behaviors between individuals within the species, such as mating or competition. I also think that more information on the later life cycle stages of the butterfly would be useful, as currently the article focuses on the early stages of life. Finally, I think that the classification and taxonomy pages could either be integrated or moved closer together, as having the topics near each other gives the whole article better flow.
Thanks! --jerryshen (talk) 22:00, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
