message: : Thanks for sending this to GAN. It is courteous when doing so, however, to ping major contributors to the page, especially when other editors have written most of the content currently in the article. This is both to ask whether they would be co-nominators, as well as to invite comment with respect to content. In this case,  and myself have both written a substantial portion of the current content. I will run through the sources I have access to later today, and hopefully will finish doing so before someone picks it up. Vanamonde (Talk) 16:43, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Having been responsible for a few GAs, I'm confident an immediate fail in this case isn't going to happen. It may be a while before this is reviewed, though; the backlog at GAN is quite long.

message: Your additions to the Behavior and Biology section were insightful and definitely improved the section. But, you may want to consider improving some of the other under-informed sections as well such as Ecology, Predation, Conservation, and Taxonomy. The other section could be rewritten too to make the sentences flow better since there are a lot of stand alone sentences on this page.

thread_title:  SilverDocs update 

message: Just came across this list to see it functioning in large part as a web directory. Wikipedia is not a directory of film festivals and doesn't have indiscriminate collections of links (all being documentary film festivals is not the kind of discrimination we're talking about). It's extremely rare Wikipedia has a list that tries to be exhaustive (i.e. lists that include anything that exists if it fits into the scope) unless it's a closed grouping (like an alphabet, discography, list of elements, list of people who won a particular award, etc.). The list should include notable examples of the subject along with either a link to a Wikipedia article (typical, per WP:CSC) or citations of sources that demonstrate notability via significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject.
The list of film festivals, for example, follows the norm by including only Wikipedia articles.
Accordingly, I went ahead and removed those with no indication of notability. Also the external links column, because those exist in the festivals' respective articles (and because of WP:EL). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 05:50, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Full Frame Documentary Film Festival

message: I tagged this article recently for some problems and left some other tags off that would have been appropriate but probably overkill.
The text in many places reads like an advertisement for the festival by using WP:PEACOCK wording. To fit with Wikipedia style (and encyclopedia articles in general) that has to be toned down a lot.
IT looks like most if not all of the article has been written by accounts or IP addresses whose only real purpose on Wikipedia has been to write about this topic. This is undoubtedly a conflict of interest. I did not tag it because that's usually assumed when the advertising tag is there.
There is only one source used for the entire article, and it was only used in two places. Of the two sentences the source was cited for, one was for being a premiere documentary film festival in the United States and one was for a list of names of famous people who had attended. There was nothing in the article cited to support the claim of being one of the premier documentary film festivals, and, frankly, since the source cited is just a local alternative newspaper it's not the kind of source we want to see to try to back up the claim for something being known at a national level. Also, a number of names on the list of past attendees were not listed in that source, so they have been commented out. 
Nothing else in the entire article is supported by any references. That's not good. Certainly most of it would theoretically be able to be referenced, so I didn't just remove it all or put the article up for deletion. If this festival is as big as the article hypes it to be, there ought to be a large number of reliable sources to choose from. Hell, if the New York Times was a sponsor previously, as the local tabloid paper article states, then you'd think it would have published something about it.
The article needs a lot of work yet. DreamGuy (talk) 15:22, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Added ref tag March 2008 

message: I noticed that some time ago this article was renamed from 'Dave the Dolphin' to 'Davina the Dolphin' after the sex of the dolphin was determined to be female. I feel I must say, that this (name=davina) never really 'took'. A few people preferred to refer to the dolphin as 'Davina' when it was found out she female, as well as ONE or TWO newspaper article(s). But in the mainstay, the dolphin is still refered as 'Dave' in all scientific published articles both before and after this date, in all newspaper articles, and in the ongoing court case against the two men charged with 'disturbing' her. So I'd have to question the redirect and name change. Wouldn't it be easier to simply note in the article, if need be, that, after the sex of the dolphin was revealed that the dolphin WAS occasionally referred to as Davina, rather than using an official name change and redirect?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Beakymouse (talk • contribs) 10:11, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Ferungulata

message: This article starts off being about the tradition cohort defined by Gaylord Simpson and then adds that it has been redefined on the basis of molecular evidence by Peter Waddle (uncited). The way it is written is as if the article is on the traditional definition, with the molecular evidence added as an update. However, the infobox gives a more modern classification, and wrongly includes Pegasoferae (bats are not part of either definition discussed in this article; it should be Zooamata for Waddle's scheme). 
The article or the infobox needs changing. One approach is to make a new article for Fereuungulata and change the infobox here to the traditional Simpson grouping (including elephants etc). The alternative approach is to rewrite the article and have sections on both classifications. I am willing to attempt this, but which is the best approach? Recent trends seem to be towards fewer, more comprehensive articles, rather than lots of smaller, more specific ones.Jts1882 (talk) 11:55, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
