GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   The prose of the article is generally good. That said, it could benefit from a light copyedit before going for FA.

   B. MoS compliance:

   Minor errors with "Discovery" and other small MoS issues in references, etc.

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   You are lacking sources, much less reliable sources, in many sections.

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   See above.

   C. No original research:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   While you describe the Genus Eudyptes in fair depth, the article should be focusing on the species

   B. Focused:

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

   Revise caption, would like to see more pictures. Take a look at my suggestions on the talk page.

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   I further read this article and can honestly find almost no faults that are notable enough to pick up at the GA level, except for your lack of sources. Everything else I have pointed out or "nayed" is mere nitpicking and probally more personal than anything else. The article certainly has some work left before FA, namely those citations!, but everything else seems stable. Well Done! Food_Puma 23:36, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

• What about global warming and it's impacts?
• Pollution? Do they accumulate toxins?
• What about their rank on the food chain?
• When are they sexually mature?
• Are they eaten by humans/hunted? Food_Puma 23:36, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
