Talk:Guianan cock-of-the-rock

Comments
I added some supplemental territory information. It describes specifically what the court looks like and how it's made. I would have originally made a new section, but I just added it to the Range and Habitat section. I used the same reference that was already used (this is reference 4). I added some extra information to the male breeding section that discusses how often males are likely to copulate and why. I also cleaned up a few spelling errors (it's Guianan).

I just added soem more information to the behavior section. I added a few sentences specifying more about the lek behavior. I also added a predation section talking about the main predators of the bird, and also about how they deal with those predators. Hansika.n (talk) 00:25, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

The breeding section is very informative. All I did were inserting a course banner in the talk section, adding some Wikipedia links in text and marking those places where I think precise citations are needed. I also corrected some typos and grammatical mistakes. To further improve the entry, I would suggest uploading more pictures, especially along the body text so that it's more interesting to read. Also it would be wonderful if you can go beyond the scope of our class project and add more non-behavioral information! The description and range and habitat sections seem to be in need of help. --Tianyi Cai (talk) 22:38, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi there, I see you’ve expanded this article significantly. There are a few edits that I made to your wiki article. I concentrated mostly on grammar edits and shifting around the paragraphs. Your paragraph on Breeding is very lengthy, and I noticed some information is repeated, in particular when you describe how a female taps the male(see the second paragraph under “breeding” and the second paragraph in “Male mating behavior”). I moved around your paragraphs into headings for thematic organization. The first two paragraphs summarize the lek and mating interactions, whereas male mating behaviors and disruptive behavior was lumped together. The paragraphs on courtship behavior and selection, predation, and captive breeding are lumped into “ecological consequences.” My main suggestions for the article are to clean up the “citations needed” tags, and to use more summary style. Also, phrases such as “It may be noteworthy” or “It is suggested” are editorial and will be noticed when you nominate the article for Good Article status, so be careful with the wording.

The article is really good. I just added some links and did some grammatical corrections to make the reading smoother and more coherent. I would suggest going over it again to get rid of more redundant phrasing. I have changed some of them, but as I did not want to alter the voice of the article there are still some phrases that you should look over again. WhitleyTucker (talk) 07:58, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
