Atlantic salmon was a good article candidate, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. Once the objections listed below are addressed, the article can be renominated. You may also seek a review of the decision if you feel there was a mistake.

I'm a bit confused with the listing "Critically Endangered - subspecies: aralensis". Not familiar with the classification and a search of it shows up as Salmo trutta aralensis; a subspecies of the brown trout, not Atlantic salmon. Any clarification would be appreciated. (Albini3)

- Thanks Dave. I took a minute to note there's a decent article on Browns as well. Interesting fish, though I recall a lake where it was invasive with a few very big survivors keeping down local fishes. --Albini3 12:01, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Good Article nomination
I've regrettably had to refuse the article Good Article status. I felt that, while there was a lot of good, referenced content, it was insufficiently broad, and in places the style fell short of the required level. If this is remedied then Good Article status should not be a problem. My principal concerns were:
- The lead section is too short to give an adequate summary of the article.
- The sections on taxonomy, behaviour and physiology are too brief. The physiology section only talks about colouration.
- There is no real mention of the salmon's predators.
- The section on legal status is patchy - some is irrelevant.
- The use of salmon in cookery is almost entirely absent.
- There is some irrelevancy. For instance, we do not need to know about Linnaues's ennoblement in this article.
Further comments which would aid the article but which are probably nto required for GA status:
- A few more sources wouldn't go amiss
- There are plenty of opportunities to use more photos: e.g. the colouration of salmon at different stages.
I hope these comments are received as helpful feedback, and that you can make the article a Good Article shortly. Regards, The Land 19:02, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
