WP:CSD?[edit]

I do not believe this article should be deleted. It is covering a topic in Evolutionary Biology called Mate Choice Copying, which is similar to Mate Choice but not entirely the same. I had trouble figuring out how to properly link it to the Mate Choice Page or the Sexual Selection page. Perhaps someone can help me with this. DW1711 (talk) 22:40, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to agree, I've tried to bring it more in line with what a Wikipedia article is supposed to look like and I've added categories and external links that could be used to expand it. This seems an interesting and notable subject and I encourage you to continue working on it. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:49, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified (January 2018)[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Mate choice copying. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20150521191700/http://www.toosmarttofail.com/29reasons.pdf to http://www.toosmarttofail.com/29reasons.pdf

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Updating the Article[edit]

Hello Wikipedians,

I intend to improve this article as a part of my course assignment (to review the course page: Animal Behavior_Memorial University of Newfoundland). You can also refer to my sandbox Mate_choice_copying/Bibliography for a draft of the updated article. Some of the major changes I intend to apply to the article include:

Writing a more concise lead
Adding a mechanism section that explains visual copying as well as olfactory copying
Replacing the "advantages" and "disadvantages" sections with a well-referenced "evolutionary benefits and costs" section
Adding an "alternative hypothesis section"
Adding images of some species that are known to display the behavior

Cheers,
