GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Blacknose shark/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): The prose is clear. One suggestion would be to use alternative words for "incurrent" and "excurrent", as I am not sure if most readers would understand these terms. Also, a definition of "light tackle" would be appreciated. b (MoS): Follows MoS
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): Well referenced b (citations to reliable sources): The references are to reliable sources. c (OR): No OR
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): Covers the major areas b (focused): Remains focused on topic
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias: NPOV
It is stable.
No edit wars etc.: Stable
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:

A very nice article. (I am learning about sharks!)
