Result: kept: I have examined the article and see no serious concerns. Those mentioned by the nominator could be raised on the article talk page. The article has adequate references which in fact support those noted by the nominator. Jezhotwells (talk) 02:08, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Several short paragraphs in "Physical characteristics".
"In Idaho, juvenile, yearling, and adult males averaged 8, 11, and 17% heavier, respectively, than females of the same age." — this kinda seems to stick out as one arbitrary research example. Could more research be shown on this?
Could "playing" be expanded or merged? It seems odd to have a subsection for just two sentences.
"There are reports of photographs of retrieving otters that were used by hunters near Butte, Nebraska." — unsourced
The last paragraph of "Conservation status" is unsourced.
The image in the same section should be moved or shrunken, as it's crunching the references.
Other sections have unsourced statements.

You are familiar with this process now so please follow the instructions at the top of the GAN page and inform major contributors, nominator, reviewer and projects. Jezhotwells (talk) 12:50, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did notify WikiProject Mammals and Dana Boomer, who reviewed it. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 19:22, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
