Well done ofr having a go. Luckily there is a penguin article which is one of wikipedia's featred articles - Emperor Penguin. Thus there is a good template to work from. This will also give an idea on how comprehensive to make it. Cheers, Casliber ( talk · contribs) 13:50, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
of these samples averaged 67.1±50.1 g and they normally consisted of a well-digested soup of euphausiids and fish such that the two could not be easily separated with certainty. The amount of euphausiids, mainly E. vallentini, as measured by undigested eyes in each sample, fell steadily through the chick-rearing period from nearly 4000 eyes per sample to less than 150. Fish increased proportionately in the diet as E. vallentini fell from a high of 78% to 5% by number over the season, however, was no compensatory increase in fish otolith numbers (Table 1) and the difference was made up by an increased proportion of unidentified semi-digested material. Squid beaks were small and were not identifiable.-- JimmyButler ( talk) 01:33, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
I revisited to see if you had any success in adjusting your format and selection. I'm perplexed in that you removed the marginal reference; however, I see no evidence of it being replaced with anything. I though you might have a go at the one I provided for you?-- JimmyButler ( talk) 18:45, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
I stuck in a picture that I found in the Commons. You might want to play around with it a bit, give it a better description and whatnot. It's better to "stagger" the pictures on both sides of the article, but it looked funky when it was on the left...-- Yohmom ( talk) 01:22, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
You may chose to address the citation issues raised by FoodPuma and resubmit for a second attempt at GA. The distinct lack of citations is a problem; albeit, having one of our own pull the trigger is a bit painful. Perhaps because Wikipedia is open source editing; there is an extreme need to verify every fact with credible source. What I noticed was a sudden rush of GA attempts by the class for articles that are no where close to GA status. Perhaps in hope for a miracle. Fortunately, in your case there is an article already at FA status on which you can model your own efforts. I suggest using the Emperor Penguin as template for format and content and reattempt after serious attention to the actual criteria for GA are addressed. Remember, the grade is based on reaching GA - failing on the first attempt is irrelevant to your average - so no harm done. JimmyButler (not logged in apparently) -- 66.56.205.235 ( talk) 01:06, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
When I was reading through the article, I also inserted some hidden comments that may/may not be listed here. Some fact tags are also in the article where citations are lacking or by information that can be easily challenged. Just make sure that you remove everything after you have addressed it. Good luck with the revisions. -- Yohmom ( talk) 02:15, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
(Late to the party) I now have the monograph on penguins and will be able to help out soon. Cheers, Casliber ( talk · contribs) 04:25, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
These and the questions I left on your GA reveiw constitute all that I can ask/fix at this point in time (with my limited knowledge of the subject). It's getting late now and I am off to bed, but if you want any more help, critizism or suggestions just ask in class... I am always more than ready! Hope these pointers/problems help guide you in the direction of GA... I might get back on to see how you are doing in a week and give another short analysis. Keep up the good work. FoodPuma 05:37, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
And there are always more out there... :-) FoodPuma 21:09, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
These two taxa are closely related, so much so that the Royal is considered a subspecies of the Macaroni in the latest checklist of Australian Birds (christidis and boles 2008), due to the low level of divergence in DNA and difficulties separating them (some macaronis have pale faces as well). The older Penguin monograph book still lists them as separate...so what shall we do? I need to sleep now but other sources say....what? Casliber ( talk · contribs) 13:18, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Good point, I was thinking along those lines myself. C&B report majority of authorities consider them species. Casliber ( talk · contribs) 10:09, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
After reading C & B, I have to agree with them that these two are one single species. Just counting number of references is not the best way to judge taxonomy, and the option of C & B is rapidly accepted (see IOC for example, generally conservative). -- Kim van der Linde at venus 03:21, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
You may want to visit here. Among other things, it says that there are 18 million in existance, rather than the 12 million pairs mentioned in the lead, and it is a highly accurate source. Rufous-crowned Sparrow ( talk) 00:30, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Shifts, like in working a shift in a mine. I figured the other was pretty obsolete.

I am, in fact, going to take the GA and "run". I'm no longer actively editing, so thanks for all the feedback and contributions to the article.

I was unsure whether this should warrant a mention in the "predator" section, especially since it involves captive specimens, so I'll just put the info here and let someone else decide. Sasata ( talk) 06:27, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
In 2002, the avian birnavirus infectious bursal disease virus (known to cause an immunosuppressive disease in chickens and turkeys) was isolated from Macaroni penguins that had died in an UK zoo. [1]

Aargh - tricky as it doesn't sit well anywhere - having seen some refs, it appears that several penguin species have had zoo specimnes die of something similar, which might not be a natural problem in the wild. I am tempted to leave it out for the moment. Casliber ( talk · contribs) 03:10, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
