 * Gug, higher level taxon and species level articles always have lists of their members. Please look at other passed GAs before reviewing. In general, before reviewing an article, look at similar passed GAs and their reviews before. FunkMonk (talk) 16:26, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
 * True, but what about the photos? I don't see need for all those photos in the article since some of them are just specific to a species. Gug01 (talk) 21:39, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
 * That is a different issue, which I have no strong opinion about. My point was simply, that one needs to familiarise oneself with GA and FA precedents, to see what the norms are. FunkMonk (talk) 22:43, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
 * If you like, I can try to "oversee" this review, and give suggestions, Gug. That should prepare for future reviews. For now, it is good to read the article thoroughly and bring up any issues you come across, point by point. FunkMonk (talk) 08:42, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Other Third paragraph in Introduction: Most bovids are polygynous, and males become sexually mature much after the females do.All bovids mate at least once a year, and smaller species may even mate twice. Spacing between sentences.


 * Hi Gug! My apologies for such a delay - had a problem with web connectivity. I have removed much of the photos - have retained only a few showing a few subfamilies. Sentence issue resolved. Let me know about any other issues. Sainsf  &lt;^&gt; Talk all words 12:54, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Also: ''Consisting of 143 extant species and 300 known extinct species, the family Bovidae consists of eight major subfamilies apart from the disputed Peleinae and Pantholopinae. The family evolved some 20 million years ago, in the early Miocene.'' I suggest hyperlinking extant since some readers may not understand the word. Also suggest the removal of "some" to say: The family evolved 20 million years ago.


 * Done. Sainsf  &lt;^&gt; Talk all words 05:11, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
