 * Symbol confirmed.svg Impressively expanded article! Long enough and 5x expanded. Within policy. Hook is OK, supported by a ref and certainly significant enough to be interesting. Having refs in the introductory section would not hurt bat all in all, good to go. Micromesistius (talk) 21:03, 1 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg I am concerned that some of the phrasing in this article is too close to that of its sources. Compare for example "traditional small-scale, family-based poultry systems are important in sustaining livelihoods and supplying poultry products in rural areas" with "Traditional small-scale, rural, family-based poultry systems continue to play a crucial role in sustaining livelihoods in developing countries, supplying poultry products in rural areas".

 * I have dealt with that one. Any more problems? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:35, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes: a further example is "In rice-producing areas, ducks have traditionally been managed under a traditional herding system. They have been selected for their ability to glean most of their food from their environment of harvested rice fields, canals, swamps and waterways" versus "ducks in the rice producing areas of the Orient have been managed under the traditional herding system. Under this system, native ducks are selected for generations for their ability to glean most of their food from harvested rice fields, levees, swamps and waterways". Please be aware that automated tools like Duplication Detector often return false negatives, so it's helpful (though time-consuming) to review sources manually.

 * OK, I have rewritten that to "The ducks are mostly still herded in the traditional way and are selected for their ability to find sufficient food in harvested rice fields and other wet environments." Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:29, 5 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Since no more examples have been identified for almost 2 months, good to go. Aymatth2 (talk) 12:45, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
