• Category:Endemic marine fish of New Zealand? Category:Animals described in 1954?
  • Feel free to add additional categories. I don't like the second one at all though because I don't see any usefulness in it.
    • I can appreciate that, but, while the categories are an established part of Wikipedia, I feel we should respect them. You are, of course, welcome to nominate them for deletion. J Milburn (talk) 08:33, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
• trawler dablink
  • Fixed
• A link to Triakis would be useful in the taxonomy section
  • Link added
• "J. Andrés López" Full name? Not a big deal if you can't.
  • Added
• As there are other species in the genus yet to be described, I do not feel that the genus page should link here.
  • Gollum (genus) redirects to Pseudotriakidae. Is that what you meant?
    • Oh; I assumed from the formatting in the taxobox that the genus article redirected here. It probably shouldn't point there, either, but should have its own page; I'm not, however, going to hold back this GAC on that issue. I've reformatted the taxobox so it looks as it usually does- the link will take people to the most appropriate article and, obviously, it will eventually probably point to its own article.

• "Three Kings Ridge, the Challenger Plateau, and the Wanganella Bank" Links? Worthy of redlinks if we don't have articles?
  • Links added
• "pectoral fin free rear tips"- sorry, this comes across as a little jargony
  • Changed to "rear of the pectoral fins"; not as precise but essentially accurate
• garbage dablink
  • Fixed

Generally very good- clearly not the most noted or most studied species, but this is a decent article. The writing, sources and illustrations are all great. I'll be happy to promote once the above issues are resolved. J Milburn (talk) 15:27, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Let me know of further issues. -- Yzx (talk) 01:28, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and made a couple of changes per my suggestions above; no point hanging around. Good work, I'm happy to promote now. J Milburn (talk) 08:33, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. -- Yzx (talk) 15:27, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
