This is a great overall article. I fixed a couple of small grammatical errors in the article. I did notice that you will sometimes use the passive voice. I attempted to switch these to the active voice but I may have missed some. If you had done this for stylistic reasons, then I apologize for changing them. I also wonder whether it is necessary to name the authors of the study that you are talking about or whether it is sufficient to just cite it. This may be something to think about. Great article. -- Jeremy.winkler ( talk) 01:53, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
The article offers very comprehensive information about the mating system and parental care of the European pied flycatcher. There are some problems that I have noticed though specific to Wikipedia writing. It is good that you try to credit every cited source to specific researchers. However, I feel like Wikipedia prefers concision. All the author names and experiment methods can be omitted in the main text since the references usually offer every detail needed to locate the particular source. I took out long author names in some places and replaced with "a study showed that...". Also, it's nice that you clarify some important definitions in the mating system, such as monogamy and polygyny. However, since the two terms are already linked to their respective Wikipedia pages, it might not be necessary to elaborate too much on their meanings, so I took out this part too. For terms that are not available on Wiki though, it will be helpful if further explanation is provided, just as what you have done with "successive polygyny". In addition, I moved the citation from the end of a paragraph to the end of the first sentence that introduced the cited source. Some sentences might still to be cited though. For example, the first characteristic of male mating behavior under "Gender difference in mating behavior" lacks a citation. I corrected some minor grammatical errors as well. Overall, it's an informative piece! -- Tianyi Cai ( talk) 02:57, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

I am a student in a Behavioral Ecology course. I added some wikilinks and did some minor edits on the lead. aliciacanas ( talk) September 26, 2013
Hey all, heads up: I, along with two colleagues have been working on this page. We made some edits in response to all the things that were found lacking earlier by people reviewing it for GA status.
I fixed a lot of the references. A few were repeated, and lacking names. Also, some were just naked URl citations.
I also added a few references to relevant sections, like a at the end of a paragraph about divorce behavior. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jabes808 ( talk • contribs) 19:29, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
