@Cyber.Eyes.2005: Hello and thank you for contributing to the Feminism and Folklore contest 2024! I ran the lede of this article through my trusty readability checker and it came up college level. I'd like to see it much simpler before I give it an evaluation. Darkfrog24 (talk) 01:24, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Got it, I'll work on simplifying the lead. Thanks for the heads-up! – Cyber.Eyes2005Talk 04:15, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Darkfrog24, I've simplified the page, and now it's much simpler. I also ran a readability test, which gave a score of 68.6 and a grade level of 5.6 on the Flesch-Kincaid scale. It's now easier for 11-12-year-olds to understand. Could you review it again? – Cyber.Eyes2005Talk 05:13, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely! ...the gizmo is still giving me mostly high school with some formulae giving it as low as eighth grade.
But the gizmo is the beginning, not the end. Let's see what my squishy brain has to say.
It's harder to identify specific places to make this simpler than it was on the other article I just looked at. You got a lot of the obvious ones already. There's no more low-hanging fruit for me to point to.
Instead of making a link on a difficult word, say what the difficult word means, like this: "The salamander is 22 mm long [[snout-vent length|from nose to rear end not counting the legs or tail]]." Darkfrog24 (talk) 00:38, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for reviewing. Also, I'll keep in mind your suggestion about explaining difficult words. Best, – Cyber.Eyes2005Talk 10:28, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
