This looks another interesting article from AryKun and looks likely to be close to meeting the Good Article criteria. I will start a review shortly. simongraham ( talk) 11:36, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Overall, the standard of the article is high.
- It is of adequate length, with 1,286 words of readable prose.
- The lead is reasonable given the length of the article at 308 words.
- Authorship is 90.4% from the nominator with contributions from 21 other editors.
- It is currently assessed as a B class article and a Did you know nomination.
The six good article criteria:
- It is reasonable well written.
- the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct;
- The writing is clear and appropriate.
- Please check "These phenotypes were previously incorrectly thought to be related to sex or representing different species". Consider "These phenotypes were previously incorrectly thought to be related to differences between the sexes or to represent different species".
- Consider a comma before "and" in "the upperparts, flanks, and undertail coverts are olive-green and the tail is darker olive-green".
- Consider "According to a 2012 study of genetic data, the black-headed tailorbird is most closely related to the white-eared tailorbird, and these two species are further closest to the yellow-breasted tailorbird". It feels confusing having "most closely" and "closest" in such close proximity. Is there an alternative way to say this that is clearer?
- Change "adults having a 'black phenotype'" to "adults have a 'black phenotype'" for consistent grammar in the list.
- I can see no other obvious spelling or grammar errors.
- the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct;
- It is factually accurate and
verifiable.
- it complies with the
Manual of Style guidelines for
lead,
layout and
word choice.

reference section, presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;

- Please check the DOI for Ripley 1950 as it seems to be inactive as of April 2024.
- all inline citations are from reliable sources;
- Please add that Madge 2020 requires subscription.
- Spot checks confirm Halley 2022, Hachisuka 1943 and Jobling 2010 cover the topic.
- it contains
no original research;
- All relevant statements have inline citations.
- it contains no
copyright violations nor
plagiarism;
- Earwig gives a 0% chance of copyright violation, which is extremely impressive.
