I'll take this review; as a first note, though, the Greek χαραδριός needs to be in a template: {{lang|grc|χαραδριός}}. I would also prefer that it be paired with the word Romanized, e.g. "...αἴλουρος/ailurus meaning 'cat'..." (templates: {{lang|grc|αἴλουρος}}/{{transl|grc|ailurus}}). Expect the rest of the review later today. Good luck and happy editing, SilverTiger12 (talk) 15:32, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Ok I tried. Not sure if it has to be charadrios or kharadriós; both seem to be valid. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 19:30, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for picking this up so quickly! It is my first bird article, and I am curious about your comments. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 19:30, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Comments:

• When defending a territory, males may attempt to intimidate conspecifics by using the... Conspecifics? Do you mean other male snowy plovers? If so, then just say, "..attempt to intimidate each other..." You use the odd "conspecific" later on in that same paragraph; it's a bit jargon-y so you might want to change it there too.

And that was basically the only issue I found. Nice work! --SilverTiger12 (talk) 01:07, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

• • Thank you! I replaced the jargon term with "intruders". Your suggestion with "each other" does not entirely work because the sentence indicates that it is only the defending plover who intimidates. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 01:43, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:
