Okay - I will make any straightforward changes as I go, and note queries below. Please revert if I inadevertently change the meaning. Casliber (talk · contribs) 02:33, 27 April 2011 (UTC)


 * It is found widely in the Indo-Pacific - just sounds odd to me, I'd go with "It is widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific" or "It has a wide range across the Indo-Pacific"
 * Changed.


 * (902–2,230 ft) - I'd round to 900 ft here. Consistent with the other measurements being 0 or 5 aliquots.
 * Rounding fixed.


 * Any information on its placement intiialy in the genus Urotrygon?
 * Added a bit more detail.

Otherwise, looking nice and tight prose- and comprehensivenesswise. Casliber (talk · contribs) 02:40, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Let me know of further issues. -- Yzx (talk) 00:00, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

1. Well written?:
 * Prose quality:
 * Manual of Style compliance:

2. Factually accurate and verifiable?:
 * References to sources:
 * Citations to reliable sources, where required:
 * No original research:

3. Broad in coverage?:
 * Major aspects:
 * Focused:

4. Reflects a neutral point of view?:
 * Fair representation without bias:

5. Reasonably stable?
 * No edit wars, etc. (Vandalism does not count against GA):

6. Illustrated by images, when possible and appropriate?:
 * Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
 * Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

Overall:
 * Pass or Fail: - nice compact, succinct article on a little-known species. I guess it'd be a bonus to get an idea of what "small numbers" mean WRT catching off Africa and more on taxonomic status and biology as information becomes available and accessible.

 * Thanks for the review. So many species left to be studied...I worry that a lot will go extinct before we learn much about them. -- Yzx (talk) 01:40, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
