Updates to Article (Zoology 250 Wikiedu)

Hello!

I am here on behalf of my group to mention the changes made to this article for our assignment.

Added sections include: Reproduction, Species Decline and Conservation, Economic significance, Extant/extinct species

Other changes: Expanded on taxonomic information (including a custom taxobox), expanded on habitat/climate, economic significance, added species description

Hello

All of our revisions have been removed - I am hoping to inquire further. To address concerns posted by the Wikipedian who removed it:

As seen in the talks page, our class was assigned this article to update via the Wiki Education Foundation Supported-course Content assignment. Previously used sources prior to our additions were actively reused (as numbers 1, 2, 14, 20 in the resource list).

To reiterate what we are looking to add (novel sections):

- A section on reproduction

- Information about species decline and conservation efforts

- Economic significance that Astacus has (both historic and current)

- A more up-to-date extant/extinct species list

Other changes made to the page:

- Expanded on taxonomic information (custom taxobox to expand upon the scientific classifications present)

- Expanded on the present information regarding habitat and climate

- Added to the description of the species

Thanks! AllyCCH (talk) 19:02, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The many formatting errors were a bit jarring. Some that jump out to me: removing the automatic taxobox, modifying the cladogram and removing the source cited for it, the varying use of bold/italics/links, citations in the headings themselves, a direct quote in the second paragraph of the lead, etc. Cougroyalty (talk) 19:13, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

AllyCCH et al. Of additional note, the treatment of species is usually done at the species level articles, not at a genus level article such as this one. The information that is added to a genus level article should be shared by all the included species or be specifically called out as an aspect of a particular species and covered briefly only. vernacular names that are applied to the species do not usually apply to genera that have multiple extant (and extinct) species.--Kev min § 16:17, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
