GA Sweeps

Elephant

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed.

• There are three {{fact}} tags that need to be taken care of. I find the particular statements very interesting, but they won't be interesting if they can't be verified.
• There is a {{disputed-section}} tag under Family Classification. I do note the discussion of this above, but the issue needs to be resolved in order for this article to remain a GA. It doesn't sound too hard, just find some sources.
• The "Species" section is completely lacking in inline cites. They need to be added, especially for the likely-to-be-challenged material in the last paragraph.
• There's only one inline cite under "Asian Elephant."
• Inline cites are lacking under Trunk, Tusks, Teeth, Skin, Legs and feet, Ears, Diet, Senses, Social behavior, and Reproduction, calves, and calf rearing
• The "Effect on the environment" section should be converted into paragraph form and cited. (Willing to compromise on the paragraph idea but section definitely needs cites)
• Inline cites again are generally lacking under Humanity and elephants
• Formatting looks weird under "Religion and philosophy"
• I would suggest moving the entire "Elephants in culture" section into its own article (similar to Cultural depictions of lions and leaving a summary paragraph in this article rather than that long and cumbersome list.
• Again, inline cites are needed under Musth and Rogue Elephant

I will check back in no less than seven days. If progress is being made and issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far. Regards,
