Mathematics and art: the Fraser spiral illusion (made of concentric circles) says something about visual perception, and is a forerunner of Op art.

V. C. Wynne-Edwards GAN

Hi, you made some pretty pointed statements about me and confusing changes to this article after you quick-failed the GAN.

1. You added a bunch of CNs after statements which already refs (which you appear to not have looked at) and PNs after refs which already included page numbers
2. You added a wikilink to a Jeannie Morris who is not the same person as Wynne-Edward's wife.
3. You seemd to have misunderstood what "pelagic zones" means and changed the wikilink and the sentence to something which is now non-sensical. Pelagic zones are of different depths in the offshore ocean. There are no multiple "pelagic" zones which apply to birds, but rather seabirds of various horizontal distances from the coast, including pelagic seabirds.

I've didn't revert any of this yet, cause I first wanted to ask: what on earth is up with all this? Mausfield (talk) 20:40, 11 November 2026 (UTC)

Hi, I'm sorry you feel that way about the review, and that the wikilink was incorrect (I've undone it). I think you will find that I made no remarks about your person whatsoever, confining my comments to the article itself: I believe all editors should follow that policy. That there are uncited materials in the article is however quite certain. In some places, you mentioned books by other biologists (as to Hamilton and so on), which in my view require direct citations to those books (as I said directly in the review) as well as by the secondary sources, hence the tags.
