Reviewer: Sainsf (talk · contribs) 14:02, 29 January 2013 (UTC) This is an excellent article! Just a few issues I noticed:

• Mention the trinomial authority in the lead.
• 14.000 years ago --- 14000 or 14,000 years ago. Same with "3.600 Emus" in Extinction.
• In Description, There was no seasonal variations in plumage 'was' should be 'were'.
• Subfossil remains of the King Island Emu show that the tibia was ca 330 mm. (13 in) long I am not sure what "ca" stands for.
• Could you add something specifically about who were this Emu's predators? Perhaps before the If unable to flee, ... line, you should clearly state who fed upon these birds. But that's if literature is available.

I await your replies. I believe this will be a GA after you fix the above. Sainsf <^>_{Talk all words} 14:02, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, the issues should be fixed now. The sources don't mention natural predators, and I'm not sure there were any on the small island, so it only refers to hunting dogs introduced by humans. FunkMonk (talk) 16:15, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Fine, you have resolved all the issues. Looks perfect now. I promote it as a GA! Sainsf <^>_{Talk all words} 12:16, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
