Wikipedia:Peer review/Greater Scaup/archive1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I have been expanding upon it since October. It started out as a stub and is now a sizable article, complete with pictures and a range map. I feel that I have gotten the article as far as I can without an offical peer review.

  • The wikilinks Newfoundland, Sterile and America are ambigious. Link them more specifically per MOS:DAB
  • Capitalisation of scraup is inconsistant, not sure which is correct but not both upper and lowercase. 'so that if the Scaup is killed by a hunter', 'Since the 1980s, scaup populations', 'rafts of scaup that can number in the thousands'
  • The last external link 'Greater and Lesser Scaups, Environment Canada' appears to be dead, remove or replace it.
  • Fossils, a search on google scholar(http://scholar.google.com) shows some fossil information for 'Aythya marila fossil' is available. It would seem appropriate to mention a fossil timeframe. http://141.213.232.243/bitstream/2027.42/48486/2/ID336.pdf page 214 says recorded from the Pleistocene. So the appropriate {{fossil range}} can be added to the {{taxobox}}; parameter is called fossil_range if I recall correctly
  • units metric/imperial. In the description it's metric first '39–56 cm (15–22 in)' in the feeding section it's reversed. ' 20 feet (6 m)'. I think it's suppose to be metric first as this is international topic
