Review to follow soon. As ever, seeing as I review a lot of yours, feel free to ask me to leave them be for a time. J Milburn (talk) 09:15, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"it can be found close to the bottom, or to the walls if inside a canyon" Awkward phrasing

Split into two sentences.

"ReefQuest Centre for Shark Research" Why italics?

Because the IUCN template puts the site name in italics, so I figured that was supposed to be the case for websites.

That's an awkward issue, because the MoS is unclear. I follow the rule which, to me, is obvious; italicise newspaper/magazine/whatever, don't italicise websites. We wouldn't italicise "Wikipedia" or "Wikimedia Commons". This is made more difficult by the ridiculous "work" parameter in cite web, but it's not the end of the world.

Is that standard formatting for an unpublished thesis?

Adjusted slightly to match formatting with journal articles.

File:Echinorhinus cookei 4.jpg seems to be from an uploader who has uploaded a rather wide variety of images as their "own work", but, lacking any evidence to the contrary, I think we can take them on their word in this case. File:Echinorhinus cookei 4.jpg also seems to lack much by way of sourcing- even if it was created by the uploader, on what was it based? However, the uploader does seem to be a savvy individual. Neither of these are a massive deal, but they do set off some (very quiet) alarm bells.

Most of their images do seem to be from a common museum source, so agreed that they could be the uploader's real work.

Another great article. I made a couple of modifications- revert if need be. J Milburn (talk) 09:52, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
