Incorrect word
[edit]In the section talking about toxicity, the word endogenous is incorrectly used as that means to come from within the body. The correct term is exogenous. Rjones6045 (talk) 16:45, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
"Dendrobates family"
[edit]Dendrobates, which is a genus, was referred to several times as a family. I've corrected these to refer to Dendrobatidae instead since that's what the article seems to be about. However, these references might be inaccurate, so the article needs an expert on the topic to investigate and correct any errors. Hairy Dude (talk) 00:09, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
Mention of indigenous usage
[edit]Would it be improper if this article contained a mention of the indigenous usage of poison dart frogs? I am a touch rusty, so not sure on this source in the context of wiki rules, but this has some info. Maybe just a small mention and redirect to something more specific? I feel it could provide information on the naming too. Parameci (talk) 20:47, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
misspelling in article
[edit]I believe the first sentence under the section "Aggressive behavior and territoriality" has a misspelling. it should be Male not kale, unless I seriously misunderstood something about frog biology. if I have please disregard. Victor6267 (talk) 02:30, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

Old GA article that needs expansion since Poison dart frogs are heavily studied and well-researched. It has multiple unsourced statement, odd sentences under "threats" section, poor information at "Taxonomy" and "conservation" sections. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 19:03, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
