This article is not yet ready for GA review. The lead needs to be expanded so that it is a summary of the entire article (see WP:Lead for pointers), and there are two outstanding citation needed tags. There are also several paragraphs without citations that need to be sourced (e.g., 2nd para of etymology, the taxonomy section, the physical characteristics section, 1st para of reproduction, most of diet, 1st para of Distribution and habitat, as well as some end-of-paragraph sentences to which the attribution is unknown. Please address these deficiencies before returning the article to GAN. Sasata (talk) 17:17, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello all- I am an undergraduate student who is editing this page as part of a project in a behavioral ecology class at Washington University in St. Louis. So far I have added text and citations to the lead and citations in the text- specifically the references Bonadio, Long, Island of the Monkey God, and Zimmer. Two other students are working on this page as well and will post the changes they have made soon. Amruthapk (talk) 23:50, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Hey I'm also working on this page as part of a class project at Washington University in St. Louis. I've added a few citations as well as added a bit more detail to the physical characteristics section, the diet section, as well as the interactions with humans. I've added a significant part detailing how the species is an invasive species. — Preceding Dudas 91 comment added by Dudas 91 (talk • contribs) 00:19, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

I am the third member of the group working to improve this article. I have also added several references where they were previously missing. In addition, I added information to the "Physical Characteristics," "Diet," and "Tool Use" sections using reliable sources I found in various literature databases. Please let me know if there are any concerns. Aschefkind (talk) 23:50, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Overall this is an impressive article. The diet section, however, is not correct in stating that fascicularis cannot digest seeds. The referenced article rather states that fascicularis spit out seeds greater than 3-4 mm (for example apricot or peach nuts). This is not unlike what humans do. In fact the referenced article by Corlett and Lucas only says that apes and new world monkeys have difficulty in digesting seeds, not macaque monkeys. Skamnelis (talk) 15:11, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
