Good article nominations Good article review

 * GA review (see here for criteria)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose):  b (MoS):  Develop (Expand) lead a little bit more; make it cover all aspects of the article in a brief summary
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): The references are there, but they are not cited properly. Please look at the Cite Web template and follow its instructions. Also, while not necessary, you could try to find a book source b (citations to reliable sources):  I put in one cite needed tag c (OR):
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): There is nothing about its Relationship with Humans except for a sentance in the lead. Make a new section at the end of the article and talk about how it became Puerto Rico's national bird: Why was a bird that only became a species in 1997 chosen over, say, the Puerto Rican Parrot? Did it play a role in the lives of the natives? Also, is there anything about its conservation you could add?  b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * a (fair representation): b (all significant views):
 * 1) It is stable.
 * Talk page and history both correspond to references and no major upsets.
 * 1) It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
 * a (tagged and captioned): b lack of images (does not in itself exclude GA):  c (non-free images have fair use rationales):
 * 1) Overall:
 * a Pass/Fail:
