Hello :) I will be reviewing the article. The way I like to review is to work on a specific or individual problem area of the article at a time, instead of everything all at once... which I sort of dislike doing. heh. So, first up; the lead section is quite skinny. Let's fatten him up! Per WP:LEAD, the lead should represent/summarize every aspect of the subject; a 'mini-article'. There are many uncovered areas in the lead; please expand it fully :-) That'll do us for now... and no hurry! Rcej (Robert) - talk 08:04, 8 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure how long you think it should be. I've included a sentence for each of the important sections, and it's certainly better than it was. I consider the type specimen information to be interesting, but not really central to the topic, so I've left that out of the lead. Let me know what you think. --Stemonitis (talk) 08:49, 9 February 2010 (UTC)


 * hmm... the lead is about there :) Just needs a mention of its substrate/habitat, and predators. Also, we need a more complete Taxonomy section, which would entail either expanding the Type specimen section to include what/when/why/who placed the initial specimen into Scyllarides, and the backstory into the S. latus speciation; or having that info. as a main Taxonomy section with Type specimen as a subsection of it. I see that WP:ARTH doesn't really have an assertive MOS for sectioning, but organism articles as a rule (as I know you're aware) flesh out the discoverer/author/journalistic mechanics behind the naming and placement of species. That might be a lot to ask, as I'm not certain how much source material there is; we'll wait for your feedback of course :) Once the article had more on the naming/placement, that should also get a lead mention.-- Rcej (Robert) - talk 05:50, 11 February 2010 (UTC)


 * OK. I can work on that, but it may take me a few days to get round to it. --Stemonitis (talk) 08:33, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * What do you think now? --Stemonitis (talk) 08:17, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Very fine work, and I especially like how well-written the Taxonomy section is :) Just three minor things left, and I'm thinking we're ready: in Life Cycle, define 'naupliosoma'; in Taxonomy, define 'sculpturation' and 'tubercles'.-- Rcej (Robert) - talk 04:29, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * OK. I've explained the naupliosoma (and contrasted it with the phyllosoma), re-worded the "sculpturation" sentence to use more straightforward words (I hope), and added a short parenthetical description of "tubercles" in the taxonomy section. --Stemonitis (talk) 07:29, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Very good job! I'm going to ga pass it! It's been nice working with you, and now... it's paperwork time for me :) Rcej (Robert) - talk 08:15, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
