I expanded this article to include the sections of description, habitat and distribution, conservation, phylogeny, mating, enemies, and physiology. I conducted a thorough search of all English language literature on the frog, but future editors may benefit from exploring Chinese language sources.

This is a very comprehensive overview of Amolops torrentis that included an abundance of detail. The structure of the article flows nicely and is congruent with the outline. The only structural change I made was dividing the mating section into two subsections (male calling and female preference). Throughout the article I corrected many run-on sentences that tried to include a lot of detail and felt a little overwhelming. Froggo1324 (talk) 20:22, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, this article covers a wide range of topics including appearance, distribution, behaviors, and conservation, but many sections are a bit short so more information could be added. However, the leading section is too short. The description section is really well written as the appearance of both adults and tadpoles are included, and references are cited every two to three sentences. For the distribution and habitat section, I recommend moving the last paragraph to a separate section because it is more about reproduction. In the mating section, the adaption of high-pitched male calls due to stream noise is very interesting. The last paragraph in female preference contains content about male calls, so it should be moved to the former male calling section. In the physiology section, the temperature dependence on hearing ability in this frog is really fascinating. I’ve never heard about this before. Finally, I would recommend incorporating the threats section into the conservation section.

What I changed: I added more information to the leading section. I added a separated section-reproduction-and moved some content into it. I moved the last sentence in the female preference section to the male calling section because it is more relevant to male calling. Yunfeng Ge (talk) 21:23, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This page was very well done. Some of the sections were not formatted in paragraphs so I fixed those sections, as well as organized some of the information. This article also did lack links to other Wikipedia pages, so I added a lot of links throughout the article. I also fixed a few minor spelling errors throughout the article.Sophieeichler (talk) 23:53, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
