Hi, I'll be reviewing this article for Good Article status. I'll go through and copyedit as I go - please revert any changes I make which accidentally change the meaning. I will jot questions below (if you don't understand any wiki-jargon I use, just ask! :)): Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 08:33, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
- You generally put the reference at the end of the text referenced. So is the last sentence of the second para of Taxonomy and Phylogeny section derived from footnote 4 too?
- Yes, it is.
Any information on its closest relatives within Setophaga? This could be added to the Taxonomy and Phylogeny section.
- I don't know where to find this information. Is there a reliable and updated source that you would recommend?
I'll take a look and see what I can find.found something - cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:38, 3 December 2012 (UTC)- Yep, thank you! Tianyi Cai (talk) 20:43, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
- I don't know where to find this information. Is there a reliable and updated source that you would recommend?
Think about wikilinking more obscure, specific or complex terms,such as "phylogenetic", "subspecies","coniferous-deciduous woodlands", states, cities or geographical features. Can "eastern islands" be linked anywhere?
- Thank you for pointing that out. I have added a couple of more links.Tianyi Cai (talk) 04:42, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Try to rewrite as singular where possible to avoid flipping between singular and plural. Like this
- I believe they are all in singular form now!Tianyi Cai (talk) 04:36, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
Fix the [citation needed] tags. See how you can do duplicate links to same ref?
- Fixed. Tianyi Cai (talk) 04:59, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
This is especially significant as it is an open-nesting species- can you add why?
- Fixed. Tianyi Cai (talk) 04:59, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
More [citation needed] tags (sorry, should have tagged them before...)
- Fixed now. Tianyi Cai (talk) 00:07, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
Right, now to look at the prose and some source checking. Will update soon. Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:56, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
The left testicle is most often times larger in size than the right one,- a number missing....
1. Well written?:
- Prose quality:
- Manual of Style compliance:
2. Factually accurate and verifiable?: (see comments at end)
- References to sources:
- Citations to reliable sources, where required:
- No original research:
3. Broad in coverage?:
- Major aspects:
- Focused:
4. Reflects a neutral point of view?:
- Fair representation without bias:
5. Reasonably stable?
- No edit wars, etc. (Vandalism does not count against GA):
6. Illustrated by images, when possible and appropriate?:
- Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
Overall:
- Pass or Fail: - some of the sources could do with wording a little more distant from the sourcing, which I did, and be careful that wording doesn't synthesise ideas not in sourcing, but other sources I spot-checked looked ok. Furthermore, some sources in the commented-out further reading section are worth exploring if this article were to be improved for FAC, but overall it qualifies for GA status now.
