This review is transcluded from Talk:Anopheles/GA1 . The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review. Reviewer: AryKun (talk · contribs ) 06:50, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[ reply ]
"Many are vectors of the Plasmodium parasite of malaria in birds" to "Many are vectors of the parasite Plasmodium, which causes malaria in birds"
"is among the best known" to "is the best-known species"
Instead of just linking the numbers for mya, link the entire phrase (eg 100 million years ago) so it's clearer what then link is for.
"respiratory siphon" Link or gloss?
"flies from the surface" Unclear what this is supposed to mean.
"ancestors of flies including mosquitoes diverged" maybe better as "ancestors of all other flies diverged from mosquitoes"
"phylogenomic analysis" Explanation?
"Heafsey et. al." to "Heafsey and colleagues"?
"Anopheles (nearly worldwide)" to maybe "Anopheles (with a nearly worldwide distribution)" and
"(Australia only) and (Neotropics)" to maybe "(restricted to Australia) and (restricted to Neotropics)"
"Bironella: confusa, gracilis, and hollandi" I've never seen a colon used that way, try parentheses instead.
"characteristics - wing" The hyphen should be some sort of dash. Also, isn't this just repeating what you said a paragraph ago?
Used an n-dash. Removed repeated statement. The fact of the taxonomy being unsettled is not nearly controversial enough to require that many citations.
"about 0.5 × 0.2 mm" Needs convert templates.
"surface microlayer" Link or gloss.
"Anopheles mosquitoes...and pupae" somewhat clunky sentence to read.
"spider takes a detour" Unclear where the detour is from i.e. where the spider would've gone without the detour.
"Global Malaria Eradication Campaign" Might want to add a couple words explaining what this was.
"Control programs...it is detected" This isn't exactly an encyclopedic tone; it's more instructional and should be reworded.
references number refer to this version :
Ref 25 verifies all claims made.
ref 28 (Mosquito Parasite Fights Infectious Disease : Discovery News) has a broken link.
Ref 20 verifies all claims made.
Ref 34 verifies all claims made.
Refs 29 and 30 verify all claims made. The images are all appropriately used and licensed (I especially enjoyed the one illustrating the posture).
No copyvio except for the appropriately licensed CDC text.
That's all I have. AryKun (talk ) 06:50, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[ reply ]
