This is really well-written and well-referenced, but a few things are the problems here and there (mostly grammatical and spelling errors):


 * "...on sandy or rocky beach but can also been found in man-made environments.." in the lead - I fixed the grammatical mistake, no worries.
 * In the lead, better mention in a line the time of breeding (second paragraph).
 * Done.


 * You should rename the 'Classification' section as 'Taxonomy', most articles have it like that. In the first line tell who named the species and when.
 * Done.


 * In 'Appearance, physiology and movement',
 * link pelage to coat (animal). Readers may not understand it.
 * Done.
 * This likely because it is enough for them in their marine, coastal habitat. (last paragraph) It sounds a bit grammatically wrong.
 * Fixed.


 * In 'Range and habitat',
 * Sea lions may travel at speeds of around 10.8 km/h. Also give the conversion of km/h in m/h.
 * Didn't have success with that.
 * No worries, I have converted it.


 * In 'Life history',
 * It seems you forgot to link most of the section. Link some terms like: territory, gestation, blubber (what is this? Better tell a bit in the article) and such.
 * Done.
 * These groups begin to disintegrate as the females begin to mate.('Reproductive behavior and parenting', second paragraph) Add the s.
 * Done.
 * Molting takes place in autmun and winter. Misspelled.
 * Fixed.
 * In communication section, add a few more references.
 * Done.
 * Adult male California sea lions play no role in rasing pups ('Reproductive behavior and parenting', third paragraph). Misspelled.
 * Fixed.
 * Pups are weaned by a year but can continue to suckle for another year. ('Reproductive behavior and parenting', third paragraph). Change 'by' to 'for'.
 * "For" is not accurate.


 * In 'Intelligence and trainability',
 * Link the name of the biologist.
 * Done.
 * A sea lion may go through a year of training. Add 'h'.
 * Done.
 * In the Persian Gulf, the animals swim behind divers approaching a US naval ship, and attach a clamp, which is connected to a rope, to the diver's leg. The sentence is a bit difficult to understand - better split it or reword it.
 * Done.


 * In 'Status',
 * Link the places. Also the Humane Society.
 * Done.
 * PCB is a dablink.
 * Fixed.

Once you have corrected these things, I shall make it a GA. It deserves that. Cheers,-- Sainsf &lt;^&gt; Talk all words 14:16, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Yes, now it seems the GA I wished it would be. So, I go on to reward it! -- Sainsf &lt;^&gt; Talk all words 04:41, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
