I've listed this article for peer review because I am aiming for FLC.

1. You need a lead which is referenced by reliable sources.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 15:09, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
2. Every fact in the list needs to be referenced. If you have a reference that has most of the info add it to General references.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 15:09, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
3. In the future please add categories.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 15:09, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
4. You should add ALT text to your images.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 15:09, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
5. I suggest nominating for DYK after creating an engaging lead.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 15:09, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

First off, let me thank you for taking the time to review my list. Now I have a few questions/comments:

1. What is ALT text, and how do I add it?
   1. Wikipedia:ALT text is meant for people with screen readers and is meant for accessibility. It's simple. You add "|alt=" to the images as a parameter and describe the image as if you were describing it to someone on the phone.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 21:28, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
      1. Did the alt text on all but the sunfish. I wouldn't know how to describe it if I tried. - Drew Smith What I've done 22:16, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
2. Most of these fish are scattered throughout several different incomplete lists, but I have also found a single list that lists them all. Would that one source be good enough? Or should I list the incomplete lists as well?
   1. What is the source you have? I have to check if it's reliable first.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 21:28, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
      1. [1] - Drew Smith What I've done 21:45, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
         1. This looks like an unreliable source, since it's not by a corporation. What other references did u find?--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 21:52, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
      2. Hawaiiscubadiving.com, I own the guide sold here, and some of the Hawaiian names are listed here. Other than that I have a book that lists close to 1000 fish by area, and about half of the fish on my list are in the book. - Drew Smith What I've done 22:13, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
3. You mentioned I should nom for DYK, but what exactly would be DYK worthy?
   1. How many fishes and how many only survive in hawaii.
4. I knew beforehand that I needed a lede, but couldn't think of anything to write. Any ideas?
   1. The number of fishes, types of fishes (predator, vegetarian), where are these fishes? At what coast?--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 21:28, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks again. - Drew Smith What I've done 21:18, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
