Small comments

• It would be better if we could describe what is meant by "lower surfaces" in the lead.

Said downward-facing. The side facing down.

• Link symbiotic bacteria.

Done.

• Silvering should be described too, as it seems to be a rather unknown term.

Done.

• Fish is overlinked.

Done.

• Would be better to further clarify what is meant by upper surface.

Said "upper side". The side facing up.

• Link emission spectrum.

Done.

• The part where we talk about the squid's wavelength emitted seems to be part of an experiment. If so, we

should mention something like "In an experiment conducted..." before "In cold water at...".

Done.

• We should explain what we mean by "a system of filters".

Done.

• Link bacteriogenic.

Nothing to link it to: the word is immediately glossed, and there bacteria and symbionts are already linked.

• Link glandular organs.

Said "roughly spherical".

• It would be better to mention what is the functionality of colour filters and reflectors.

Both are now glossed with a brief explanation in the text.

• Link crypts and diverticula.

Glossed them, nothing useful to link to (aka, they're illustrated only here).

• Remove duplicate links.

Done.

• "in the mesopelagic, and predation occurs from below." Shiuld be phrased better.

Edited.

• "as does the Hawaiian bobtail squid" Perhaps this should be omitted as the species is mentioned in the next sentence?

Well spotted. Done.

• It might be better to use convert templates for metres.

Done.

• Ships and aircraft are overlinked.

Checked; linked them in the lead as well.

• "Diffused lighting camouflage, in which visible light was projected on" instead, "Diffused lighting camouflage, in which visible light is projected on" as it is a phenomenon.

Done.

• "National Research Council" should be linked.

Done.

• For consistency, you should use either Second World War or World War II.

Second World War it is.

• Link crosswind.

Done.

• Is there a reference to note b?

In the caption in Yehudi lights.

Those are all done so far. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:12, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

I apologize for the indentation earlier. Was editing on phone, and I did not realize that. :P Adityavagarwal (talk) 07:16, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
