Krill

Another article on its way to FAC... Written largely by a non-specialist (yours truly), it has been read by one of our resident marine biologists (Kils), who made minor fixes, and by an external specialist (Dr. Jaime Gómez-Gutiérrez), who, although he didn't edit the article himself, has reviewed the article and e-mailed me some corrections and additions which I've incorporated. Jaime also sent me a few nice images, some of which I put in the article. (Some others I've placed in other articles, where they were more appropriate.) Before going to FAC, it might be good to check the article for strange grammar, as most of the contributors are non-native English speakers. How else could the article be improved, keeping in mind that it is about krill in general (all 86 species), not about one particular species?

A note on the reference scheme: numbered references become a maintenance nightmare even using {{Template:Ref}} and {{Template:Note}}. The article uses symbolic references (see Wikipedia:Footnote4); the symbol derivation is based on the one from the alpha.bst of BibTeX. Whatever you do, please keep this referencing scheme, which is also used in the featured article on the Antarctic krill.

Looking forward to your comments! Lupo July 6, 2005 09:20 (UTC)

I'd go with known species instead of just species becuase there's probably quite a few not yet identified; otherwise it's pretty good though the redlinks could do with stubbifying. Dunc|☺ 6 July 2005 12:42 (UTC)

That's kind of implicit, isn't it? All our taxonomy is based on current knowledge, and you can never be sure that no additional species is discovered in the future. Hence you'd have to write about "known species" in all our genera/family/etc articles... The red links concern mostly particular species and the names of body parts or larval stages of these critters. From context it is clear what these terms refer to. Of course, I trust my fellow Wikipedians to help fill in the missing articles such that these red links turn blue. :-) Lupo July 6, 2005 12:58 (UTC)

Have fixed a few minor typos but overall it is of a high standard. Not too sure if their is anything more that you could add to this article. The redlinks are not a problem for me as in time they will turn blue. I think this is feature material. I will go it through it a few more times to see if their is anything i've missed and possibly add more constructive critiscm, but at this point it is very good well referrenced article.Yakuzai 7 July 2005 17:17 (UTC)

Thank you. If you do come up with ways to improve it further, don't hesitate to mention it here or to do it yourself. Lupo 11:32, 8 July, 2005 (UTC)
