Cetacea

 * This Level 4 vital article has a "has multiple issues" tag at the top that includes tags saying the article:
 * Needs copyediting
 * Needs additional citations for verification.
 * The Cetacea and Cetacea sections each have a tag saying the section "does not cite any sources".
 * In two sections, the images are placed in such a way as to squeeze text into a narrow column.
 * Also, it is included in only three categories, which is not many for such a long article.
 * This is the type of article that will be widely read by many WP readers. For that reason, it should reflect WP's highest standards. Corinne (talk) 19:38, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

 * 1) Oppose (sorry). It's very developed, so unlikely to receive significant improvements from this project. North America1000 04:47, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose - s bang on - Seeing as it's a complete (or nearly I guess) article no one's gonna bother "improving" it, if it was a 1 liner I would probably say yeah but anyway as it stands I think accepting this would be a waste of time sorry. – Davey 2010 Talk 01:06, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

 * I know this article doesn't get many readers, but I still think it's an important enough article that it should be well written and well sourced. There are numerous tags throughout the article. Corinne (talk) 02:01, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Guessing you were using the old pageviews tool (I think post was made before TAFI nom was updated). This article gets around 120 per day &mdash; MusikAnimal  talk  23:48, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

 * There has been a tag at the beginning of the article saying "The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject" since 2011.
 * Some sections have either no or very few references.
 * The layout and arrangement of images could be improved.  – Corinne (talk) 02:11, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) Support – the lack of references is appalling. sst✈  08:06, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Article is about Olof Palmes (most likely) killer. The article is only a start article and is lacking in sources, and could easily be improved and expanded.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:07, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Certainly seems important, and after looking at the Swedish article there's room for expansion. Will there be enough English sources to encourage participation? I wasn't able to find many after my (very) cursory search. Ry's the Guy  (talk&#124;contribs) 17:56, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
 * If not before than after the 30 year anniversary of the crime in a few days will render several hundreds of new articles about the case in English. --BabbaQ (talk) 21:49, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Tomorrow (28 Feb) it is 30 years since the assassination. --BabbaQ (talk) 14:36, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) Support – It looks like there's enough we can use to expand the article:   Ry's the Guy  (talk&#124;contribs) 12:38, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) Support per nom. Corinne (talk) 14:52, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose – after checking the page views. sst✈  08:08, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

 * A somewhat common but sometimes ambiguous phrase, because it may be used as a term of endearment or a backhanded compliment. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 19:14, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose (sorry). It's a simple expression, and as such, it may not be of interest to diverse editors and may not receive a week's worth of improvements from project members. North America1000 09:26, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
 * No need to apologize. I just find the intersection of language and popular culture interesting, so figured I'd offer the suggestion. I enjoy following this group's activities on the periphery, but I've got really learned how to identify which articles make the best TAFIs. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 21:19, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
