Hawksbill sea turtle

Review section

This article no longer meets the FA criteria. There are a lot of statements that need citations. There is an evolutionary history section that only contains a single paragraph that could be merged somewhere. Almost the entire article could be needed for rewriting and expansion, especially the anatomy and morphology, evolutionary history, etymology, and taxonomic history and conservation sections. There are also some questionable sources have been used at the article such as ref 2? ref 11, ref 12, ref 24, ref 26, ref 54? ref 56? and possibly others.

Certainly not up to par. The lead in 2007 covered more in the article. CMD (talk) 02:28, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Of the refs mentioned in the nomination statement: Ref 2 looks fine, I'd say
ITIS). Sourcing could be improved, but the nomination statement seems to include some false positives on bad sources. Hog Farm Talk 03:08, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply

Move to FARC HF has done a great job analysing the sources mentioned in the FAR nomination, and while some are acceptable others are not (particularly ref 24, which is to a Facebook page of what appears to be a tour guide company?). Other references need proper formatting (like ref 77). I'm also concerned about the "Conservation" section, which uses lots of websites of organisations as sources: is there academic literature on the conservation status of this species? I did a JSTOR search of "Hawksbill sea turtle" and the amount of results I got were staggering, so I think there's academic literature that is missing from this article and should be examined before non-academic sources are used. (examples: Foraging Selectivity of the Hawksbill Sea Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) in the Culebra Archipelago, Puerto Rico, 2011, Efficient establishment of primary fibroblast cultures from the hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) and A multistate open robust design: population dynamics, reproductive effort, and phenology of sea turtles from tagging data.)
