GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Caribbean reef shark/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Hi, I am reviewing this article for GA. It appears to be an adequate article on the subject. I have just a few comments.

Comments
  • There is overlinking in the article. (See WP:MoS#Overlinking.) Common words such as fish, jaws (which needs disambiguation anyway), shrimps, crabs, tooth and other words that a reader of English can be expected to know do not wikilinking unless the linked article adds information that enlarges the meaning of the article. If an article is wikilinked, like fisheries, diver etc., only wikilink it at the first mention.
  • Removed a couple
  • At one point the article says the species is "abundant", but at another place it is listed as a near threatened species. This seems contradictory.
  • "Locally abundant" is the phrase used by the IUCN assessment; I've qualified it as such
  • The number of 22 attacks does not have a date. Needs an "as of".
  • Done (and updated)
  • When a book is referenced, a page number should be given in the footnote.
  • Done

Otherwise, the article is clearly written, and nicely formatted. The pictures are wonderful. A good job!
