This looks another interesting article by Generalissima and, on a cursory inspection, close to meeting the Good Article criteria. I will start my review shortly. simongraham (talk) 18:25, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Comments

• Overall, the standard of the article is high.
• It is of reasonable length, with 1528 words of readable prose.

The six good article criteria:

1. It is reasonable well written.

   the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct;

   • The writing is clear and appropriate.
   • Please reword "Three years later, these placed under a local colonial administration"

   Done. - G

   • Please check verb agreement in "No official environmental protections exists on the island itself" and "The patchwork of shade-grown coffee plantations and adjacent forests have functioned".

   Done. - G

   • Please check if it is "reptiles" in "species of reptile".

   Done. - G

   • Suggest combining "The island hosts a population of black lemurs. These are protected by local residents, although unlike some other areas within the lemurs' range, are not regarded as sacred animals." into a single sentence and adding a comma before "unlike" to mark the clause.

   Done. - G

   • Add the comma before "which are privately rented out to tourists" to mark the clause.

   Done. - G

   • I can see no other obvious spelling or grammar errors.

   it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead, layout and word choice.

   • It seems to comply with the Manuals of Style.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   it contains a reference section, presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;

   • A reference section is included, with sources listed.
   • Spot checks confirm Campbell 2024 and Roberts & Daly 2014a.
   • The statements "Like Nosy Be and many other small islands off the coast of Madagascar, Nosy Komba hosts a large number of hotels and tourist facilities, mainly catering to ecotourism. The largest on the island, Tsara Komba Lodge, consists of eight bungalows. The hotels are supplemented by around 13 guest houses which are privately rented out to tourists. Many of these facilities are designed to accommodate one-day stays for excursions from Nosy Be." can all be referenced to page 28 only of Jedrusik 2019.

   Fixed. - G

   • Szabó & Pócs 2016 is given as a page range. All but the penultimate reference (to Cololejeunea nosykombae) are on page 302. This is on pages 303 and 305, which provides information on the discovery of the two varieties. There is more detail on its habitat on page 304.

   Fixed. - G

   it contains no original research;

   • All relevant statements have inline citations.

   it contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism;

3. It is broad in its coverage

   • The article is compliant.

   it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).

   • The article goes into reasonable detail but is generally compliant.

4. It has a neutral point of view.

   it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to different points of view.

   • The article seems generally balanced.

5. It is stable.

   it does not change significantly from day to day because of any ongoing edit war or content dispute.

   • There is no evidence of edit wars.

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   images are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content;

   • The images have appropriate CC tags.

   images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.

   • It is good to see such a wide range of relevant images, including a map and pictures of fauna. All have suitable captions and ALT descriptions.
