Elephant

I tried to nominate this as a featured article, but failed. So, before i attempt that again, I would like to see its Peer Review.

All the {{fact}} tags need to be replaced with sources in the form of inline citations. That's the most urgent thing. -Fsotrain₀₉ 17:53, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Here some of my general observations of this article:

• Zoology is way, way too long. Use summary form.
• please merge or delete "Usefulness to the environment".
• please merge or delete "Elephant traps".
• convert "Elephants in culture" into prose.
• "Elephant rage" need to be merged with Zoology.
• That "External links" in "Humanity and elephants" needs to be deleted.
• "Other causes" section has to be merged somewhere or deleted.
• "Rogue elephant" needs to be merged into Zoology.

I would suggest divide the page in following section/subsections: (don't have to use exactly this names, I used them to be self-explanatory)

• Species
• Zoology
  • Physical Characteristics
  • Habitat
  • Social Behaviour
• Interaction with humans
• In popular Culture

I hope you can understand where I'm coming from. Its bad style to make section for everything and to give too much information. - Tutmosis 21:26, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

• The "In popular culture" section needs to go. It is already adequately covered with a few links in the "See also" section. We don't need to list every time an elephant appeared in a TV show or movie. Encyclopedic elephant articles that are much longer than this one don't include such coverage.

• Please see automated peer review suggestions here. Thanks, Ruhrfisch 15:31, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
• It's an opinion, but I think the article would be better served with a different picture in the info box. The current image is too highly contrasted, and the pose is a *little* cheesy. - Coil00 01:38, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
