Change 'australia' to 'Australia' as country names must always begin with an uppercase letter.570ma (talk) 13:12, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Change 'south american' to 'South American'570ma (talk) 13:12, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Exposure
This section looks good to me.570ma (talk) 13:12, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

If there is an unconditional registration and the product has food uses, there must be dietary exposure information. Is there a tolerance or exemption from tolerance? This section needs some development and elsewhere there needs to be clarification of the regulatory status and uses of this product.570jdw (talk) 14:32, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Biotransformation
Please delete the hyphens (-) from 'in-vivo' and 'in-vitro' to reflect 'in vivo' and 'in vitro' which are what are generally used.570ma (talk) 13:12, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Also, 'in vivo' and 'in vitro' are Latin words so please italicize these words throughout the text.570ma (talk) 13:12, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

In line 2, you made mention of 'corboxylic acid'. I think you meant to say 'carboxylic acid' so please correct this.570ma (talk) 13:12, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Please insert a comma after 'parent compound' in the line that reads 'While males excreted the carboxylic derivatives of the parent compound the female rats excreted the sulfate conjugates of carboxylic acid.' Hence, the revised sentence should now read 'While males excreted the carboxylic derivatives of the parent compound, the female rats excreted the sulfate conjugates of carboxylic acid.'570ma (talk) 13:12, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Please change 'bio-transformation' in the last line to 'biotransformation' as this word is not a hyphenated word.570ma (talk) 13:12, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Couple general comments for you: To save yourself from having to define some of the terms you use, link to other wiki articles. I did a few of these for you, but double check they are what you are referring to. Can you also clarify what you mean in the first sentence of the Biotransformation section: "Hydroxylation is the major and primary biotransformation"? Lastly, your final sentence about target pest resistance might be more suited to have its own section with just a couple sentences and citations. 570akc (talk) 17:30, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Agree with the comprehensive remarks above, I would suggest linking critical risk assessment outcomes for this compound in the article and also some risk management practices if important to consider. In general all sections are quite brief and should be expanded to include more body and content. References 6 and 7 should be expanded to include titles. 570sku83 (talk) 13:16, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

For the first wiki page on this chemical, I think you have covered the basic pertinent information. I don’t know much about Tebufenpyrad, so bear with me here on some of the suggestions. My first question is: is there a more common name for the chemical / something that is regular citizen-friendly? For the original heading, I would think about whether to use all caps or not. Don’t forget that you still have a parenthetical text under the heading “use” that states (i.e.?). Also under “use”, is there a way to go a little more in-depth - what country uses it the most? What is the primary trade name? What are some statistics related to use of the chemical? Under biotransformation, I would hyperlink “in-vivo” and “in-vitro” to their relative wiki pages. I noticed a few small punctuation marks throughout the better, but nothing too big. I would just re-read the information with a little more critical eye. 570clk (talk) 21:43, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

I will echo several prior comments that links to other existing pages would help provide some nice background information to your page. Especially in the case of some of the technical chemistry terms discussed this could help readers without a background in science to understand what you mean. I found your section on biotransformation especially interesting and wondered if there is more information available that you could include? Is there research or educated scientific speculation as to why male and female rodents excrete different metabolites? If so this might be an interesting detail to include. I would also enjoy seeing more specific details included about the links that have been found between exposure and cancer (ex. what animals were involved, how strong is the correlation, etc.) Overall, I feel that your page does a good job of presenting introductory information on the chemical and can be even better if you add some more specific details. Good job! --570ers (talk) 05:13, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks everyone for their comments. I have tried my best to incorporate everyone's comments into the page. This pesticide in only registered to use in commercial greenhouses on ornamental plants in US and thus the route of exposure through food is limited. The correlation between cancer and exposure is not too strong according to USEPA reports570sou (talk) 14:00, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

History info

 * I added the infobox from page Tebufenpyrad infobox. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:47, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I moved Tebufenpyrad to Tebufenpyrad infobox, and its talk page with it. I moved Draft:Tebufenpyrad to Tebufenpyrad, and its talk page with it. I text-merged the infobox into page Tebufenpyrad. No history-merge needed. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:54, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
