 * Symbol question.svg The article is nearly unreadable at current as most sentences has four or more clauses. Please break it into smaller, more easily understood sentences.  Also the stub tag needs addressed - either just removed if the article is not missing an major aspects, or the article expanded to cover the major aspects of the theory. --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:46, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I have copyedited the article so it is more understandable to the average layperson, I have also addressed the stub and orphan templates, and linked it to other articles. Could you go over the article now? IJReid (talk) 22:32, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that definitely helped. Could you unpack this sentence?: "Additionally, examination of the work and power requirements for the behaviour if the pectoral muscles during WAIR at different angles of incline, demonstrated by increases in these requirements, both as WAIR angles increased and in the transition from WAIR to flapping flight." I am having a hard time figuring out what it is supposed to mean. --ThaddeusB (talk) 00:12, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I have completely changed the sentence, how understandable is it now? IJReid (talk) 13:49, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
