Stylistic issues

As a physicist and programmer I'm not qualified to comment on the biology. But nerds such as I don't have to stand still in the face of clumsy syntax, nor be vague outside of our primary competences. Jerzy•t 08:46, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

Yeah. The larger of my two edits removed this:

Estrus is a stage of the female reproductive cycle, and if a female is in estrus, it means that she is both fertile and sexually receptive. Synchronous estrus occurs when multiple females are in estrus at the same time.

bcz an encyclopedia is neither a dictionary nor a textbook, but each of it's individual articles should supplement those media, with detail unsuitable to the former, and brevity in the same relation to the latter ... even tho neither of these critiques is so germane to a tutorial or lecture.
