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):
  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:

I see many issues:

  • See WP:LEAD how to build a summary of the content
  • Prose mistakes throughout the article
  • I think animals are always referred to "it". What is its gender?
  • Odd structure: sentence-long paragraphs, written like bullet items
  • "Pittsburgh Incident" section is acceptable, but the rest is not
  • There are dead links.
  • If there are no free images, you can upload a non-free file.--Tomcat (7) 21:15, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This nomination was placed on hold over a month ago. A few days later, there were edits that combined paragraphs, but did little else. Given the failure to address all but one of the significant issues raised, I think it's probably time to conclude this review. BlueMoonset (talk) 13:56, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Failing per this. Wizardman 00:00, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
