Talk:Yellow clown goby

Failed "good article" nomination
Key issue with this article: there is a complete and utter lack of inline citations to reliable sources. While reference material is present, you must attribute facts to particular sources with proper citations. Additionally, there is a fact tag present. This should be remedied before any renomination takes place. If you feel this decision was in error, you are welcome to seek a reassessment.

 * Note i am NOT reviewing the article, but only 2 references is a bit lean, and the prose is only sparsely referenced. Also consider placing the range map in the taxobox as per WP:TX Kare Kare 01:08, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, look at fish articles already passed GA for an idea of the amount of information and references needed. Going by these, you still have some work to do. Kare Kare 01:19, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Failed GA nom
I have failed this nom. First of all, it is not comprehensive. Much can be expanded, both in prose and especially in citations. I recommend Convict cichlid as a sample article. To be specific, here's some things to work out:


 * "Equally bright as their coloration is their personality" is not a very neutral statement. Either remove it or find a source to back it up.
 * The description section is too short. Also, the dablink template is misplaced, it should go in the beginning of the section.
 * Where geographically does the goby live? You have a nice map, but more should be devoted into the text about the geographic location as well as the type of habitat it lives in. Are there any optimal preferences the fish have as to their habitat? These things should be addressed.
 * The "yellow clown goby" should not be boldfaced in the "Aquarium" section. It would also be better if you condensed all those short paragraphs.
 * Conservation status is a pretty short section and usually isn't a separate section for non-endangered species. It would be better if it were incorporated into the lead or another section.
 * The "Reproduction" section is better off moved above the "In the aquarium" section. It should also be more thoroughly cited.

All together, the Yellow clown goby article needs further work before it can reach GA status. Keep trying.  bibliomaniac 1 5  A straw poll on straw polls 23:54, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
