Wikipedia:Peer review/Tasmanian whitebait/archive1

Tasmanian whitebait
I've listed this article for peer review because I have expanded it based on the available reference material from a stub and would seek guidance on where the article sits on the Wikipedia quality scale.

one of the things I did early on was try to park articles at GA or FA status, which is the closest thing we have to stable versions. I have buffed Pacific blue-eye and smooth toadfish to FA status. I took some liberties in tweaking the article but figured you'd get the idea...cheers, Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 03:33, 27 May 2018 (UTC)


 * It still needs a lead section. It also needs some notes on its classification. elaborate on harvest. Does it have predators? what does it eat? Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 03:35, 27 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi! Here are just a few things that you could do which I think would improve the article:
 * Complete sentences are always better imo. I noticed a few incomplete sentences in the prose of the article, such as "A slender, spindle shaped scale-less fish that grows to a maximum length of 77 mm, commonly 65 mm."
 * You're missing a bit of punctuation here and there. For example, "Originally named Tasmanian whitebait the species was renamed Australian whitebait following the discovery of a population in southern Victoria on the Australian mainland in 1993" has a missing comma after "whitebait."
 * I think you could expand the lead a bit to comply with the length of the article more. Maybe include one sentence about the description and one more about its life cycle?
 * Per WP:REPCITE, there's not really any need to have the same citation 9 times in the same paragraph - it just looks cluttered. Per the link I provided, "If one source alone supports consecutive sentences in the same paragraph, one citation of it at the end of the final sentence is sufficient."
 * If you're able to find more information about its behavior, that would be great. I definitely think finding out and adding what it eats, as Casliber mentioned above, would be a good start.


 * I hope you find this information helpful, and good luck! :)-- SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 14:38, 6 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Actually, I just went ahead and completed that one sentence for you. =)-- SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 14:41, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
