Entomotoxicology
This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because we think it may be a bit too technical, and we're trying to make it more accessible.

 * The article could use more wikilinks, especially in the intro paragraph so that readers not familiar with certain terms can understand what they mean. (i.e. entomology, anthropod, etc.) AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 16:24, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Comments from
 * Go with WP:HEAD for headings, don't overcapitalise = "Limitations in the Field of Entomotoxicology" - "Limitations" will suffice.
 * Per the comment above, there are a number of "in the know" phrases used which need to be explained or wikilinked.
 * Use cite web or cite book for the references, not the manual superscripted refs you have now.
 * "-20°C to 4°C " - use convert for Imperial measures to be included.
 * "1-10 " use en-dash.
 * "70% HNO3" explain. Not everyone will know you're talking about nitric acid...
 * Any images you could add? It's quite dry at the moment.
 * "Wilson et al.[10]" - what does this "sentence" mean?
 * "Entomological specimens make for excellent qualitative toxicological specimens. " says who?
 * en-dash should be used in page ranges in the references.

 * Comments from karanacs
 * I added a few citation needed tags
 * Overall, the article looks pretty good. I know very little about the field, but I could see room for expansion in the section on effects of toxins on arthropods and the sections on techniques.  There is also no information about how accepted these techniques are in the legal arena or how broad the field is around the world.
