[edit] GA review
Unfortunately, this article failed its good article nomination. This is how the article, as of March 29, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:
- Well written: For the most part the article is very well written. The prose works well most of the time and is certainly close to good article status.
- Factually accurate: The article does contain numerous references, unfortunately many statements are unreferenced and in my view the article requires further research given the breadth of the topic (an entire family of arthropods). In my view more references would be of significant benefit, I'd also recommend editors address the unreferenced claims.
- Broad in coverage: It is my view, given the breadth of the topic (a family of arthropods), that the article is too short and does not cover the topic. Are any species important from a human perspective (food, or the aquarium hobby). What do the species feed on? More information on the ecology of the family would be useful - How variable are the genera with respect to these ecological issues? Reproduction, size information etc. More family specific information - what do the genera have in common?
- NPOV: The article is written in a neutral fashion. Nice work.
- Stable: The article appears stable and not subject to editorial disputes.
- Images: Given the article is on the family Alpheidae it would, in my view, benefit from significant expansion with respect to images. What do genera other than Alpheus look like?
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a GA review. Thank you for your work so far. MidgleyDJ 11:28, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
