GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

Unfortunately, I'll have to quickfail this GAN. There are entire swaths of text that are completely unreferenced. Please try to ensure that at the minimum, every paragraph has a source. Sasata (talk) 20:59, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Other suggestions:


 * The lead currently isn't a summary of the article... see Lead_section; make sure everything in the lead is discussed in the article itself: i.e., the etymology of entomology should also be in the article text; all of the specific stats about size and extremes need to be in the main text as well.


 * There are several 1- or 2-sentence "paragraphs" that should either be expanded or combined in some way.


 * The external links section could use a trim and copyedit


 * The references should be reorganized into Footnotes" and "references", and often-used sources listed in the Reference section (thinking specifically of the Gullan, P.J.; P.S. Cranston (2005) reference); see the MOS for more details; would also suggest trimming down the "Further reading" section, and instead incorporating some of those as cited sources.
