Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the Good Article criteria. Criteria marked are unassessed

Lead is way too long. At four sizable paragraphs, it is at the length limits for a lead in general, but the article is not very long
Some copyvio
- From here:
  - Elevations in the park vary from 300 metres to over 2,200 metres above the Adriatic at the peak of Shebenik
  - Two rivers flow and multiple smaller water sources flow through the park's area including the rivers of Qarrishte and Bushtrice, both of which are 22 km long.
  - The forests are home to a number of different rare and endemic species of plants, mammals and fungi.
  - were later filled by melt water and rain. They vary considerably in their size
- From here:
  - On 21 April 2011, the Protection and Preservation of Natural Environment of Albania research team got the first photo of an alive balkan lynx
Article appears stable, talk and history suggest no conflicts
Infobox good
Several nice images, but their layout could be improved
The two Commons Categories could be consolidated, so only one box needs to be showed
A variety of sources that look generally fine
Several parts are missing citations:
- The entire Flora section
- Several paragraphs of the Geography section
  - In addition, most of the parts of this section with references are to the Slavčo Hristovski, Borislav Guéorguiev, Trajče Mitev, Gjorge Ivanov, Martina Trajkovska source, which I'm not sure contains all the information it's supposed to be citing
- Quite a few sentences at the end of paragraphs in Ecosystems and Fauna
In terms of coverage, this giant national park could and should easily have details on its history, tourism, and much more detail on e.g. geology of the mountains. There's none of this.

Overall

Quickfail - does not meet several criteria: coverage, referencing, prose to a lesser extent, and, importantly, copyright. Kingsif (talk) 19:32, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
