Talk:Red-bellied piranha

message: This section is just a bunch of tips for keeping piranha. For inclusion in an encyclopedia, there should at least be cites. But it's debatable whether a how-to section should be there at all. --MijinLaw (talk) 21:35, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I would argue for deleting at least parts of the aquarium section like for instance "check with your local...". It just isn't encyclopedia material. --dimi_z (talk) 23:40, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  In an aquarium 

message: Great additions about behavior! I only made a few minor changes to grammar and the way things were worded to provide clarity.  I added the class banner to the top of the talk page so that other Wikipedia users will know that this is the subject of a class project. I also threw in a few more wiki links for fauna, carnivore, harmonic and conspecific.  In addition, I added a [citation needed]  to the intro, although I assume you are going to clean the intro up in the next 1,000 word assignment to make it reflect the entire article.  Great job overall! Claire.Edelman (talk) 18:31, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Behavioral Ecology Peer Review 

message: VERY nice article. Generally well written and clear. 
I would use only the common name in the meat of the article. I noticed that sometimes you did use the scientific name and I think it would be better to just use one name for the species. Also, you frequently use 'sometimes' in your sentences, which is not necessary in many spots. Consider removing the word in some instances. The second sentence under 'Diet and Feeding Behavior' has an un-agreeing subject-verb combo (one is singular, one is plural). The second paragraph under 'Diet and Feeding Behavior' only has one reference at the end of the paragraph. Consider adding in other references to the sentences within the paragraph. (This goes for the entire article, actually. I think you'll face less scrutiny by the GA people if you add in those references). I would also fix the 'citation needed' tag under "Piranha in media", or delete that section alltogether - it seems sort of unnecessary to the article in my opinion if you cannot find a reference for that paragraph. Also, you should add a few more pictures. Pictures are a great way to break up the text of the article. Overall, very nice job! Ldorn1227 (talk) 15:20, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Final Peer Edits 

message: *Include more pictures! I think a picture of a shoal and a picture of a juvenile (since they have different coloration) would be helpful
*include a "prettier" format of the conservation status in the taxobox (see Variabilichromis moorii for example)
*add a map of the range if you can find one
*Consistently refer to it by either its common name or its scientific name, don't switch back and forth
*The conservation status section is small enough that it could just go in the introduction
*Great job! Wenamy (talk) 07:48, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
