Hi, I am taking a look and making some straightforward copyedits as I go. I'll jot questions/issues below: Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:38, 12 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Needs a taxonomy section up the top (generally first section before description - who named it, what does its name mean, what's it related to, any other names.


 * Earwig's copyvio clear (a good thing!)

I note that the nominator hasn't edited since Dec 2017, so will leave open for seven days and see if there is some action here. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:53, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

I have started a Taxonomy section. I have not been able to find who named this particular moth, but all other information is being added.

 *  Adult African sugar-cane borers are relatively small.  - doesn't really mean anything - a giant centipede or rhinoceros beetle is large for an insect but could be called "small"... - let the measurements speak for the article


 * material in lead should be mentioned in article. Hence cassava as host plant is in lead but not in body of text...needs to be added..or removed from lead


 * how big are the eggs. lots of "eggs" in egg section, try to rework so "egg" is said less often...
 * I sorta meant more like this, so done now Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:01, 22 February 2018 (UTC)


 * All scientific names in Parasites section should be in italics


 * link incubation, pupate.


 * The Pests of crop plants repeats/overlaps with Host plants - try and move some content there and limit the bottom section to talking about control or something.

I have addressed the previous edits. However, I was unable to find the size of eggs. I did include the amount of eggs typically laid instead.

 * Sorry for the delay. I have been busy. Will get back to this soon Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:01, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

Please let me know if you have any additional edits. Also, could you explain in more detail what you meant by moving content from pest of crop plants to host plants?

 * actually my bad - I thought there was more overlap between the two sections. Also it would be ideal to have all in the one place, but looking at the article that is difficult to do without breaking the flow, so don't worry. Just looking over it again.

1. Well written?:
 * Prose quality:
 * Manual of Style compliance:

2. Factually accurate and verifiable?:
 * References to sources:
 * Citations to reliable sources, where required:
 * No original research:

3. Broad in coverage?:
 * Major aspects:
 * Focused:

4. Reflects a neutral point of view?:
 * Fair representation without bias:

5. Reasonably stable?
 * No edit wars, etc. (Vandalism does not count against GA):

6. Illustrated by images, when possible and appropriate?:
 * Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
 * Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

Overall:
 * Pass or Fail: - ok, it is a bit more bare than some Good Articles I have passed...but insects are hard to write about! Thanks for being persistent. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 10:45, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Great, is there anything else that I need to do? This is my first time submitting for GA status.
