Wikipedia:Peer review/Aquarium/archive1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because it is a former featured article that I would like to see get up to at least good, preferably back to featured, however in the past I have had trouble finding problems, so I'd like some assistance with that before I start working on it.

Comments

  • The lead section needs to be expanded. Remember, according to WP:LEAD, the lead section needs to be a "concise overview".
  • Overbolding in the lead: only the title of the article and alternate names of the subject of the article should be in bold.
  • Combine some of the one-sentence paragraphs; they interrupt flow. Alternatively, expand those sentence-paragraphs with relevant information.
  • "kreisel tank" and "virtual aquarium" needs to be unbolded.
  • Aquarium maintenance needs more references; here are some examples:
    • "Large volumes of water enable more stability in a tank by diluting effects from death or contamination."
    • "Biological loading is a measure of the burden placed on the aquarium ecosystem by its living inhabitants."
    • "In addition to bacteria, aquatic plants also eliminate nitrogen waste by metabolizing ammonia and nitrate."
  • The list in the section Aquarium#Calculating_aquarium_capacity needs to be converted to prose, if possible.
  • Overlinking-nitrogen cycle, nitrite (among others)
  • In general, more references needed throughout
  • A good copyedit is necessary, especially if you want FA.
  • The word aquaria seems to be used a bit excessively. Is there any other word that can replace it sometimes?

I hope these comments helped. If you want a more thorough rundown, contact me at my talk page. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:47, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
