Starting GA reassessment as part of the GA Sweeps process. Jezhotwells ( talk) 15:41, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
To uphold the quality of
Wikipedia:Good articles, all articles listed as Good articles are being reviewed against the
GA criteria as part of the
GA project quality task force. While all the hard work that has gone into this article is appreciated, unfortunately, as of February 27, 2010, this article fails to satisfy the criteria, as detailed below. For that reason, the article has been delisted from
WP:GA. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at
WP:GAN. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at
WP:GAR.
The article is short and poorly written, with poor coverage of certain subjects compared to other mammal good articles. It will probably require the original primary contributors to fix the problems noted; or a removal of uncited facts. This page should be delisted. — innotata ( Talk • Contribs) 02:05, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
OK, I have made a start on addressing some of the concerns. Will work on it over the next few days, but as my time available for editing is pretty limited ATM I may not complete w/in the 7 days; might need a little more.
Couple questions/comments:
Also note, there have evidently been only a bare handful of studies & publications written containing details specific to this subspecies. Possibly there's something newly written or available since this article was first put together 4 years ago, but the sources (and info) given here are about the only ones locatable. There's much more written on the species (as a whole) of course, but the majority of these studies seem to be based on other (more accessible/widespread) subspecies. Where M. f. umbrosa is mentioned at all in these, it's usually only a sentence or two. There are undoubtedly areas for which the data are simply not collected or published for this subspecies.
In any event, as/when time permits will try attending to the actionable items.-- cjllw ʘ TALK 13:55, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
It would be helpful to have a photograph of a member of this sub-species. Ladyof Shalott 05:40, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
OK, have been doing some work on this the past week but my wiki-editing schedule was interrupted by some mid-week travel and other RL commitments. I did however manage to spend some time in research & locating some other decent sources to use, which I've added in. Have also updated some of the citations as requested. Will need a few more days' grace to work material from the additional sources into the text, and in the process take care of any lead- or section-length / coverage concerns. So if it's possible to keep on hold for a bit longer, would be much obliged.-- cjllw ʘ TALK 15:25, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
Afraid that circumstances have conspired with some pressing RL matters and have not been able to expand this further right now; I doubt I'll be able to devote enough time to it next week either. If you wish to bump it down then ok, & when things become a little less hectic later on I'll work it up & put it back thru the GA mill. Thx for ur patience anyway. Rgds, -- cjllw ʘ TALK 22:53, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
