Should be today or tomorrow... I got sucked into a longer-than-expected-meeting yesterday... Ealdgyth (talk) 15:39, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
  • Lead:
    • "during the dry season" for non-locals .. when is that?
      • The source doesn't say, and since the onset of the monsoon varies from place to place within the region, giving one date would be disingenuous.
  • Taxonomy:
    • "This clade is sister" which clade - the one with black-and-red and silver-breasted broadbills or the clade with Sarcophanops?
      • Changed to "larger clade", which I hope is clearer.
  • Vocalization:
    • "Soft calls made during displays" I presume this is mating displays?
      • Wing displays that are described later on in the article; clarified.
  • Breeding:
    • "takes place in the dry season following the East Asian Monsoon." again, can we give months for this?
      • See above
    • "Like other typical broadbills" why "typical"?
      • That's the official IOU name for the Eurylaimidae, it seemed better than the more technical term eurylaimid. "typical broadbill family Eurylamidae" is mentioned earlier on, so it should be clear.
  • I did a bit of light copyediting, please make sure I didn't change meaning or make any other mistakes.
    • Seems good, reverted one change I thought would be incorrect.
  • A very nice article on an interesting bird. Just a few small issues above and we'll be good to go.
  • I randomly googled three phrases and only turned up Wikipedia mirrors. Earwig's tool shows no sign of copyright violation.
I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.
