Assessment comments The following comments were left by the assessors: (edit · refresh) Well done on this article. It covers a wide range of information, however one fault I could find was long strings of words that nobody would want to wade through, especially not school children (your referencing problem in Wikiproject Australia). Auroranorth 11:42, 16 February 2007 (UTC) I rated it B as it is literally one step from GAC. Inline citations. Once you get those in, review What is a good article? for yourselves point by point, take it straight to WP:GAC and I have no doubt it'd pass. Then aim for FAC. Good luck!

[edit] Article Title

Please note that where a species of animal has a reasonably widely accepted common name, the agreed rule is that we use that as the title of the article. the Murray Cod certainly has such a name, so I have reverted the article to that name (also putting it in Initial Caps style while I was at it). seglea 04:11, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Disappearing Reference

Why did the reference Rowland (1989) disappear??? Codman 01:52, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Don't worry about it. It's still there. Codman 01:53, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] pov-check

I've tagged this article to garner opinions on the writing style. I find much of it has an overly zealous tone which detracts from an otherwise comprehensive and detailed article. Garglebutt / (talk) 04:56, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

The article seems well written to me. What you seem to be regarding as "over zealousness" can alternatively be described as an accurate depiction of the plight of an animal that is under significant threat from a number of stressors, which are listed. What, exactly, are you objecting to?Nick Thorne 21:27, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Completely unwarranted nomination. If fisheries departments and their regulations are not conserving wild Murray cod populations adequately, and there is hard scientific evidence to support this, then it is perfectly reasonable to state this. Codman 01:51, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References

This is a really well detailed article - good job to the editors! I have just been to the importance scale site and saw that codman was worried about bulking up the article with refs, but did it anyway. An easier, and less bulky way to ref is ^[1]. I have included this fake reference (just open the edit page for this discussion to see what I have done), but as you can see it only shows up as this small number (which is different to that of an external link number). Whats more is that once you have written this, all you need to input for the actual reference section is:

===References=== (i have used a small heading only for the purpose of this example)

(again you will need to look at the edit page to see what I have done) and all the refs in the article will be automatically numbered and listed in the reference section (ie: once you have added a small bit of code to the refs section you don't need to touch it again even if you ad extra refs because they will be listed automatically).
