Cindy (dolphin)
Aiming for FA standard. A withdrawn FAC mentioned prose quality as one issue. Andjam 22:47, 16 September 2006 (UTC)


 * It is, I feel, way too short to be a FA. It needs a photo, and the tone is a bit odd.  On the plus side, it's exhaustively referenced.  Lankiveil 00:14, 17 September 2006 (UTC).
 * Can you clarify what you mean about the tone? Andjam 00:40, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * It read very amateurishly, not like what you'd find in an encyclopaedia at all. It's much better now, however.  Lankiveil 11:25, 18 September 2006 (UTC).
 * Long way to go, you need a lot more prose to even make it for GA. - Mailer Diablo 04:01, 17 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Formatted to help, please expand the sections that seem weak or small. Also, this article is about this dolphin or its marriage? You should add tons of non-marriage information about the dolphin to the article. What does it look like? How is it treated? Judgesurreal777 05:17, 17 September 2006 (UTC)


 * A marriage is not just the wedding ceremony. In what sense was she married? Did she visit it, have sex with it, consider its children hers, what? Dev920 19:36, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Has some way to go. Provide some more details on the actual dolphin not just the marriage (its weight, personality and any distinctive marks it may have). Expand the one or two sentence sections and also expand the lead. Provide more quotes from Tendler. Provide the scientific name of the subspecies in brackets (T. truncatus ponticus, I believe). Provide a photo of the dolphin. Cedars 00:41, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
