GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Pelagic thresher/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Hi, I am reviewing this article for GA. It is an interesting, well written article. My concerns are the following:

• "but can be distinguished by the white of its belly not extending over the bases of its pectoral fins." - I don't like this wording as it is clumsy but I could not think of a variant. Perhaps you can.

• Changed to "...by the dark, rather than white, color over the bases of its pectoral fins"

• I removed some wikilinks that went to disambig pages, eg. lifespan. Linking to a disambig page is rarely justified.

• OK

• I am a little concerned about all the fish terms (WP:JARGON). For the most part you have done a good job of explaining, but any more you can do would be great.

• Not sure what can be done; changed "labial furrows" to just "furrows", since that's what they are.

• O.K. Just be conscious of that in your articles. Really, you do an excellent job. —Mattisse (Talk) 01:19, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Article on hunting strategy

Awful main photo

Picture of a dead endangered species can be considered distasteful and I agree. 90.243.46.207 (talk) 16:53, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
