Observations upon the Instinct of Animals
Nice work. I notice, for what it's worth, a reference and extensive quote from Observations upon the Instinct of Animals appears here – scroll down the page to item 186. .. dave souza, talk 09:49, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Reference formatting
- Thanks for the explanation dave, sorry I missed it until now. To me, the referencing system looks standardized enough for my tastes. I'm going to nominate it for GA presently, so please do chime in. Tucky 19:21, 21 April 2008 (UTC)]
GA Review April 2008
The requirements for a Good Article are as follows:
1. It is well written. In this respect:
- Overall, the article is well written.
- There’s a very slight problem with the appendices’ headings per the [[WP::Mos#Section_management|MOS]]. The section titled “Notes” is actually the “References” section as these are the in-line citations used throughout the article. The current “References” section should actually be the “Further Reading” or “Bibliography” section. This should not take long to fix.
2. It is factually accurate and verifiable. In this respect, it:
- Yes. There are plenty of references following any statement that requires verification.
- The citation format seems to be consistent throughout the article.
3. It is broad in its coverage. In this respect, it:
- Yes. This article does a good job of covering broad amount of information.
- Additional sections that I think would be useful would perhaps be a section describing any major variations of the breed (if any exist).
- Is there any behavior unique to this breed? If so, its inclusion would also be useful.
4. Does the article maintain Neutrality?
- Yes
5. It is stable. In this respect, it:
- Yes. However, the article has only been in existence for less than a month.
6. It is illustrated, where possible and appropriate, by images. In this respect:
- Four illustrations are included and they do aid in the understanding of the article.
- They all are either appropriately licensed for inclusion in WP or have been released into the public domain.
In conclusion, with the article as it now stands, I am going to place this article on hold until the above minor issues are addressed. will381796 (talk) 01:03, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- Just a few comments. First off, what the MOS section you linked to says is that the standard order is "See also, Notes (or Footnotes), References, Further reading (or Bibliography), and External links". Footnotes are for in-line citations (like they are now), and References is for references that you make notes to. The current References section is not further reading, they are references. Neither is hard and fast, and you can have references in footnotes. See the FA-class Tucky 01:15, 27 April 2008 (UTC)]
- I guess I'm just used to in-line citations being listed in a references section. I'm going to go ahead and pass this. will381796 (talk) 02:22, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
