Hi, I'll be doing the review. I'll list a section with any concerns that must be addressed, as well as a section with my optional suggestions. 


### GA criteria concerns
Nothing stands out. 


### Suggestions
In the second sentence of the lead: animals provide much of the meat consumed by the human population? I can't think of any meat that doesn't come from animals; perhaps reword that.
Article is of sufficiently broad coverage for GA status, but it is only 8kB readable prose, and I think 10kB is a good target to aim for. It certainly doesn't fail for my arbitrary preference, and it's more of an A class standard anyway, but expansion at this stage is always a good thing.
Checking against the criteria: 

Well written: good layout, well-wikilinked
Verifiable: All the references check out and everything is referenced with inline citations (above GA standards)
Broad: Good broadness, doesn't go into needless detail. See optional suggestion about expansion.
Neutral: Good neutrality maintained.
Stable: edit history looks good.
Images: lot of them! Licensing looks good.
Good job on the article. I'm marking this as having officially passed. Congratulations! Icebob99 (talk) 16:20, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Many thanks for the review. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:40, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

I made several edits to the article and Chapie Chiswick Chap reverted all them with only a short edit summary about the pics. Chapie Chiswick Chap, would you care to explain why you reverted all of the edits I made? Sparkie82 (t•c) 00:53, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

I'm disinclined even to reply to a query that intentionally messes with my username, but "in the broad since [sic] of the term" does not appear to be an improvement on "broadly understood". Leaving the typographical error aside, the proposed phrase is less compact than the original. Other proposed changes include an uncited addition about controversial uses. I already commented on the removal from a caption of the symbolic/practical distinction, on which the article is structured. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:57, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
The phrase "broadly understood" could mean "broadly agreed to", or it could mean "in the broad sense of the term". I changed it to the latter because it's obvious that the former doesn't apply here. And yes, I have dyslexia which effects my ability to distinguish between homophones, and also affects my spelling (which is usually caught by spellcheckers, but not always). As for the rest, I believe they are improvements to the article, but I really don't even want to engage with someone who would react so adversely to someone using a friendly nickname. Have fun with your article...
For the record, anyone here on Wikipedia, please feel free to call me "Sparkie" or "Sparky" or any other shortened version of my name if you feel it would help lighten the mood. Sparkie82 (t•c) 23:00, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
I know this is a dead thread, but yeah, Chiswick Chap, your reaction to Sparkie using a friendly nickname (you even posted a warning about it on his personal talk page) is not even remotely merited. If you prefer people to just address you by your username verbatim, then say so, but your presumption of hostile intention on Sparkie's part is inappropriate, and frankly bizarre.
Also, typographical errors are easily fixed. No need to do a blanket revert on an edit just because it has a typo. Martin IIIa (talk) 17:42, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
