I plan to take on this review and hope to post some comments here in the next couple of days. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:06, 1 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Initial comments

edit

Before I look through the article in detail I see that it has several problems:

  • The last section "Insect brood parasites" has a tag stating that it needs expansion. This is an opportunity for you to do some research on this subject and add the information, giving references for the sources of your information.
  • Several of the paragraphs have no references or do not have references at the end. There should at the very least be a reference at the end of each paragraph and there should be further references for any statement that might be challenged. See the page Wikipedia:Citing sources. If you have any problems finding suitable reliable sources, mention it on this page. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:32, 1 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

GA review now on hold

edit

Looking at the history of this article I see that no substantial alterations have been made for some time prior to it being nominated for GA. Since I made the above comments a week ago no action has been taken on any of them. I have put the review on hold and will make a more detailed review if I see evidence of anyone trying to raise the article to GA standard. It would be a pity for it to fail because it is well written and I consider it can be brought up to standard with relatively little effort. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:39, 8 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

GA Fail

edit

I am failing this article on the grounds that it is not well-enough referenced and no attempt has been made to improve it along the lines outlined above. Please nominate it again when these matters have been resolved. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:05, 15 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
