Review by Quadell

 * Coverage and factuality: 3
 * Lots of gaps in coverage, only one source, no inline citations.
 * Writing style: 9
 * Great writing. Needs more.
 * Structure: 6
 * Well linked, good table, and good sectioning. But lead is too long, and sections are too short.
 * Aesthetics: 7
 * Looks great, but not outstanding
 * Overall:  6.
 * But it could easily go way up with more info and better sourcing.

 * Coverage and factuality: 4
 * Going by the given reference the coverage is lacking, but it appears that there isn't too much information available about these seals. That one reference is not enough for this article, though going to that site reveals further references.


 * Writing style: 7
 * Some paragraphs are too short, leading to an article that doesn't flow as well as it could.


 * Structure: 5
 * Needs rearranging as the lead contains the bulk of the information and the sections are too small.


 * Aesthetics: 5
 * The structure makes the article look worse than it should, and it would be nice to see another image (preferably a photograph).


 * Overall: 5

The article just needs some attention, adding content and restructuring using the references available here. violet/riga (t) 12:21, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
