This article is fairly well-writen and long. I guess you have taken up my suggestion of expanding articles before nominating, but there are still a few comments. See below:

Lead
 * Again, any information that is both in the lead and the article should not be referenced in the lead
 * Also, any info not in the article but in the lead should be added to the appropriate section of the article, and the reference should be removed from the lead
 * To make the lead more understandable, it should be paragraphed according to the section of the article the info came from
 * The lead could also use some expansion to include sections like etymology

To be continued once these comments are fixed... IJReid (talk) 02:11, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

Etymology
 * It is all referenced, better
 * you use the genus name, but do not have it in italics
 * the sentence "Schlegel used the name Dendroaspis, significant tree cobra" make no sense whatsoever.

Taxonomy
 * This section is very short, and is not very broad in its coverag.>??>.
 * Any more information would be great, especially a cladogram
 * I have no other comments, but more will probably come once the expansion is complete.


 * A cladogram is available here it can be found on page 9 of the PDF (or pae 817). -- Dendro†Naja Talk to me!  17:25, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Description
 * The Identification and physical description section mentions nothing about identification
 * The description section could use a small overview of information that does not neatly fit into the two subsections
 * Any scientific terms (canthus etc.) should be linked to their, or a related, page


 * What exactly do you mean the "Id and physical description sections mentions nothing about identification"? That makes no sense at all. Snakes are identified by their scales (through scale counts, arrangement, surface texture, colour, and shape). Many species of snake look identical, but they are identified by examining the scales. All the scalation information for this species is in the article. -- Dendro†Naja Talk to me!  17:36, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Scalation is a separate subsection, so it would be better if the "Identification" part of the header is removed. IJReid (talk) 15:13, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Behavoir, diet and predators
 * the section name is to long, should be shortened to "Behavior"
 * The predators section is to short, should be moved into the overview of the section (outside a subsection)
 * venom could become be a subsection of behavior, depends on your preference.

Once these are fixed, I will go over the article again. IJReid (talk) 20:00, 17 March 2014 (UTC)


 * I made two edits to the article, any comments? IJReid (talk) 14:30, 26 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, no comments yet on my edits, but I find the article is already GA worthy. Nice job! IJReid (talk) 13:43, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
