File:Podarcis sicula rb edit.jpg to appear as POTD soon
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Podarcis sicula rb edit.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on August 26, 2012.

Possible new subsections
Hi there, I really enjoyed the explanation of the study done that showed rapid evolution of the Mrcaru lizards. Well done! I'd like to suggest adding a category about mating, diet, and perhaps consolidating the information already present about the lizard's habitats and where it has been introduced into one category under habitat and distribution. I believe a map would also help with clarity. Overall, well-written and easy to understand. Vportugal (talk) 19:02, 23 September 2021 (UTC)Vportugal

New Sections Added
Hi all! I have made some significant additions to this article while leaving the original writing intact (for the most part). Additions include a description and ecology section. I also added lots of info about behavior. These additions were made for a class assignment. I appreciate any feedback! Thanks so much.Tulipsareverypretty (talk) 19:00, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

On this page, I mainly altered the headings to make the flow of the entry more clear. For instance, I changed the section initially titled “Description” to now be titled “Physical Description” as it better encompassed the details listed in the paragraph beneath this heading. Again, as the entire Wikipedia page is a holistic description of the Italian wall lizard, I corrected the heading to “Physical Description” to make it more specific. In addition, I deleted the word “Behavior” from the heading that was originally titled “Feeding Behavior” because it was a subsection under the general “Behavior” heading. Thus, it was unnecessarily repetitive and could be removed. Going along with this, I deleted a few other repetitive words for the sake of clarity and enhanced a couple instances grammar-wise. Generally speaking, I really appreciated the organization of this entry! Ritu27 (talk) 23:17, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello. For a class assignment I added a sentence and in-text link to the Habitat section as follows: It is able to live in such open habitats due to biological characteristics, such as high thermophily, which is the ability to thrive in high temperatures. I also added other in-text links to provide more explanation and context for biology-related terms such as for thermopile, diel behaviors, generalist, and gravid.

In this article, I added two sentences to the lead section about the lizard's physical description and reproduction behavior since it seems to be important information. I also deleted some usages of words such as however, found, interestingly, despite, and observed since they are suggested not to be used in the good article status guidelines. This was in effort to improve the article and appreciate any feedback. Vportugal (talk) 18:37, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
