I'm going through making improvements, this will largely be without references until I dig these out and add them (soon). user:anc001 Jan 2010 —Preceding undated comment added 15:26, 2 January 2010 (UTC).
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Ants eating cicada, jjron 22.11.2009.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on August 19, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-08-19. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng { chat} 23:24, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
With the banded sugar ant article completed and almost ready for GA nomination, I am going to expand this article and nominate it once it is complete. Over 100 references have been found that I will use for this article, so it will be a reasonably large one. Burklemore1 ( talk) 16:31, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

@ Burklemore1: You've done a stellar job on this article. I'm getting through the copy-edit slowly but steadily, and should be done in a couple of days. The article is mostly fine, but I've dropped in a couple of "clarify" tags; if any of those is unclear in intent, feel free to ask me. Regards, Vanamonde93 ( talk) 03:18, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

I can't really answer this question. I think it would be considered mature if the nest has a large enough work force and can reproduce virgin queens and males.

That should be it. As you can see, all of the above are not flaws, but suggestions for improvement. I have tried to take this article to FA quality through this review (I believe it can be an FA one day), so some comments may be a bit too precise. I deeply appreciate all the hard work you have put into this. These addressed, I would be happy to promote this. Cheers! Sainsf ( talk · contribs) 04:56, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello Abductive why did the bot remove these [1]? The first was incorrect/misplaced of course but the others…why does it think that? Invasive Spices ( talk) 22 January 2023 (UTC)
This kind of description does not work; not only (not) in 'mobile view', but not even in 'desktop view' (on a phone or depending on how wide or narrow the screen or window on/in which the article is displayed, is).
So here with the differently coloured ants people may GUESS that more probably the *upper* photo is meant by "left" and the *lower* by "right", but there's no guarantee for that being so, is there?
-> Could someone please make a more clear description of which is which? (best would be to just include the name IN the picture/ under each single picture)
((And could Wikipedia discussion forums, faqs, member talks, guidelines, etc. please advise on this?)) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:3033:212:1F5A:6515:A1D9:D452:B11F ( talk) 12:38, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
