Lilygreenberg (talk) 18:01, 29 November 2020 (UTC) I thought that you did a great job with this wikipedia entry and there were so many fascinating categories to explore! I had barely anything to edit, but I did add hyperlinks to locations, plant species, animal species, and terms such as instar, inbreeding, epigyne, and palpals. One suggestion I have is adding a picture of the spider, so that the reader can visualize it in a different way.

SatvikR78 (talk) 12:10, 01 December 2020 (UTC) I really enjoyed some of your unique sections, specifically the "Mutualism" section and the "Interactions with Humans and Livestock" sections. I made a few edits. I moved a sentence from your "Taxonomy" section into the Habitat section, because it was referring more to the fact the Spider lived in Australia, then anything about the taxonomy. I then rearranged the first sentence of the "Taxonomy" section so that it still made sense. I moved the last sentence of your "Description" section about the nocturnal nature of the spider to the "Predator" section. The nocturnal trait does not impact its physical description, but it does impact its predation. I also changed usage of "Gravid" to "pregnant", because I think using more accessible language makes sense for a Wikipedia article. Please change back anything you want! One suggestion I have is to combine the "Physiology" and "Description" section information, because both are about the physical description of the spider.

This article is well researched and a great introduction to P. candidus. It is a shame that there aren't more pictures of this spider available for use on wikipedia. Since there aren't many available on google images either, it may be worth reaching out to some of the authors of articles on this spider, to see if they may have anything to contribute. In the meantime, to add some visual diversity to the page, I added a picture of the black-faced cuckooshrike, which you listed as a common predator. Eanisman (talk) 04:17, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
