File:Monarch Butterfly Danaus plexippus Tagged Closeup 3008px.jpg to appear as POTD soon[edit]

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Monarch Butterfly Danaus plexippus Tagged Closeup 3008px.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on May 4, 2012. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2012-05-04. 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} 16:47, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please Include Additional Citation Sources[edit]

Hello! While this is an extremely interesting article, there are several facts referenced that lack citations to their sources. For example, the last paragraph on the page that refers to the increase in tracking animals due to the disastrous BP oil spill has no citations. Without the citation of sources, we have no way of knowing for sure that animal tracking has increased in comparison to prior years, let alone being able to verify the information that followed concerning the limited options of researches who use electronic tags. I would also recommend that the information be evaluated for accuracy on a regular basis in regards to the examples of animal migrations. The Florida manatee is still currently an endangered species, but the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed that their status be changed to "threatened" as their numbers have continued to increase in recent years.

The article has a lot of potential to be educational, but above all other corrections can be made, the information contained here needs to be properly cited. Cantrell39 (talk) 05:08, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
