I'll be reviewing this article shortly. Ealdgyth - Talk 14:20, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   just a few niggles on prose/linking/explanations

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

• Side note, I can't believe I'm reviewing an insect. GAH!
  • Fortunately, you are not; it's an arachnid. Ucucha
    • For us historians, anything with more than 4 legs qualifies, usually. Especially medieval historians when all we think about is plague! I guess I could have said "I can't believe I'm reviewing a "creepy crawly" (grins) Ealdgyth - Talk 14:36, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
• Lead:
  • Linky for "μm"?
    • Done. Ucucha 14:32, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
  • Are the sternal glands also sensory organs? Or are they something else? Quickie explanation needed (especially as the link is a redlink)
    • No, it seems they're secretory (but don't ask me what they produce). Clarified. Ucucha 14:32, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
  • "...a sensory organ on the chelicera, is serrate..." do you mean "serrated"?
    • "serrate" is used by the source. Ucucha 14:32, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
• Taxonomy:
  • "...specimens found on a specimen of the rodent..." can we avoid the repetition here somehow?
    • Changed the second into "individual". Ucucha 14:32, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
• Description:
  • "idiosoma" Linky?
    • See idiosoma; nothing to link to. Ucucha 14:32, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.
