Hu NHanselman, thanks for your efforts in improving this article, however unfortunately this is a quickfail as it needs a good deal of work to reach GA. I'd recommend reviewing WP:GACR, in particular 1b and 2b. Some specific issues are:

  • Large portions of text are uncited. Please review WP:INCITE - citation should be added to the end of the clause, sentence, or paragraph, so long as it's clear which source supports which part of the text. In many cases there are no citations following paragraphs, leaving large potions of the text functionally uncited.
  • MOS:LEAD - The lead includes information that is not included in the body of the article, such as information on the taxonomy and its descriptions. Conversely, it doesn't mention anything in that's actually in the article. Please read the MOS page for this an ensure you understand whats required in the lead.
  • Looking on Google Scholar, there appears to be quite a bit written about this beetle that's not included in the article. Here are a few example: [1][2][3][4], and others. For a well-researched beetle I would expect more use of other sources (GACR 3b)
  • The ref Suzuki, Seizi (2009) is repeated twice in the ref section.

If you need additional help, you can start a post on Wikipedia:WikiProject Insects, someone would likely be willing to help you improve this article. Don't let this discourage you though - the article is overall well written and shows promise. Once you've addressed those issues above I'd highly recommend resubmitting this article for GA. Best of luck. grungaloo (talk) 01:39, 22 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
