Will be dealing with whatever issues you can find. Cheers for the review.-- OBSIDIANSOUL 07:14, 2 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

First reading

edit

I have just read through the article and find the prose quality high. A few points I noticed:

  • The second paragraph of the Discovery section overuses the word "discovery".
  • "However, Trogloraptor exhibits several unique features, like primitive respiratory systems, that justify their separation to a different family." - This sentence is partly in the singular and partly plural.
  • "... their habitat and hooked raptorial tarsi." - This uses the word "their" but does not make cleat to what it is referring.
  • "... series of light-colored faint chevron markings." - I think the word "faint" should precede "light-colored".
  • "They spin primitive webs with only a few strands, from which they hang from the roof of caves." - Do only the males spin webs?

No more time now. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:50, 2 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

  Done I think. I've moved the "primitive webs" sentence to the ecology subsection. -- OBSIDIANSOUL 07:35, 3 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

1. Well-written:
  1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. The prose is of a good standard.
  1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. MOS guidelines are followed.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
  2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline. The references are laid out correctly.
  2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose). Article is adequately referenced.
  2c. it contains no original research. Not as far as I can see.
3. Broad in its coverage:
  3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic. In so far as information is available.
  3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style). The article stays focused.
  4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each. The article is neutral.
  5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. The article was moved into mainspace in mid August.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
  6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content. Images are appropriately licensed.
  6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions. Images are relevant and have suitable captions.
  7. Overall assessment. This recently written article meets all the GA criteria in my opinion. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:13, 5 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
