This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed, listed below. I will check back in seven days. If these issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far.

Lead
  • The lead claims that the shark lives for 70 years, but the Reproduction section claims 100 years.
Naming
  • This section is completely uncited.
  • "It is capable of diving to depths of over 700 metres". The source cited says up to 700 metres, not over 700 metres.
Anatomy and appearance
  • Ref #4 has moved and the url needs to be updated to reflect that. Is it intended that that source covers all of the information in the first paragraph? If so, then the citation should be moved to the end of the paragraph. If not, then the actual source needs to be given. Same applies to the second paragraph. What's the source for the information given in the second half?
Diet
  • Second paragraph needs to be cited.
  • There has been a request for citation in the third paragraph since March 2007.
Behavior towards divers
  • This section is completely uncited, and has been tagged as such since July.
