"and by 1920 there were only two sightings"
[edit]Seems a little ambiguous...I presume it means in 1920 there were only two sightings?
- I've gone ahead and removed this meaningless statement, seeing as it's been on this page for eight years and noöne's figured out what it means. — TORTOISEWRATH 03:37, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
File:Polygonia c-album qtl2.jpg to appear as POTD soon
[edit]Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Polygonia c-album qtl2.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on January 22, 2013. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2013-01-22. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! —howcheng {chat} 23:28, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
"[A]dults are of two forms"
[edit]"The form that overwinters before reproducing" and "The form that develops directly to sexual maturity". This really does not make sense. I suppose that developing "directly to sexual maturity" does not mean that the butterfly adult hatches from the egg without a larval stage, but rather that this form lays eggs in the fall and spends the winter in in egg or larval form, but the life history needs to be explained better. 72.177.123.145 (talk) 16:26, 22 January 2013 (UTC) Eric

[edit]The unusual hyphen in the specific name c-album is worth a brief remark. How does it come about?--Wetman (talk) 18:51, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
Hutchinsoni variation seen in Pembrokeshire
[edit]I have seen (and photographed) this butterfly in Pembrokeshire last year and today, but I don't want to edit the Welsh distribution in the article without formal evidence, so just noting here for reference. Tony Holkham (Talk) 11:34, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
Editing
[edit]Hi, I am currently editing the P. c-album page for my Behavioral Ecology class. I have added several sections including Taxonomy and phylogeny, Food resources, Parental care, Life history, Protective coloration and behavior, Mating, Physiology, and Interaction with humans.

Behavioral ecology peer editing
[edit]In the parent-offspring conflict section, it should be made clearer that you are talking about your butterfly specifically. I added some clarifying language to that section in the article. In addition, I think the female mate choice and nuptial gifts sections can be merged into one. I went ahead and merged the two sections on the page, because they are so closely related and it is easier to see nuptial gifts as a factor for female mate choice, since it is mentioned under that header anyway. Other than these brief suggestions, this article was very exhaustive and thorough! Good job! S.srivatsa
Peer edit
[edit]Overall the article looks really good! Lots of info in accessible language. I made a few minor edits to wording and added some small descriptions of some terms I thought were unclear. Mllutz (talk) 23:09, 31 October 2017 (UTC)Mllutz
This article is very well written and well researched! I think a lot of the sections had really good information in them and were quite thorough. I mostly changed grammar and syntax and added some internal Wiki links. I also fleshed out some concepts briefly that were slightly confusing or unclear. One question I was left wondering in the habitat section was why is this habitat so conducive to the inhabitance by this butterfly? Otherwise, well done!

Comments
[edit]- Drive by comment: images should be used near the text they illustrate, WP:galleries should not be used when there is room in the article, as is the case here. For example, the image of the eggs should be used where eggs are described, etc. FunkMonk (talk) 22:14, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
- OK, I've sorted that out for them. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:16, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
