[edit]Hello, Mproff, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Peer Review on Kudoa article
[edit]Lead: So, obviously your lead needs a lot of work. But I see that you have a list of things that you want to mention in your introduction which makes me think that you have a pretty good idea about the organization of your article or at least what all you are wanting to talk about. I think 1-2 sentences on each of the topics you list would give you a great lead and then each topic can be its own section in which you go into more detail in your body paragraphs.
Structure: I think your structure is good, at least based on how you listed your topics for your lead. It may be more beneficial to have the list of species by the discussion of taxonomy somewhere if you plan to keep it. Also maybe think about conservation efforts and anthropological effects on the organism. Is it useful to us? like for food or some sort of product.
Balance: Based on the outline, I think your balance is good. Just when you are writing make sure you are not only focused on one topic. You want to represent each of the topics you listed as equally as possible in light of the information available to you.
Neutrality: Since nothing is really written I cannot comment on your tone, but just like balance it is something to keep in mind while you are writing.
References: You have a good start to your bibliography. I think it might help if you compiled all the journal articles you can find on the organism, figure out what information or topics are discussed in each of them, and then based on that you may be able to figure out the best topics to include in your article and where they may be gaps in the literature on Kudoa. Basically, do research to figure out what is known and structure your wiki article based around the information you have. You need 12 articles.
