[edit] Passed Good Article review

Article is well written, thorough in line references, good images, neutral POV and comprehensive. Joan-of-arc 00:50, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page title

Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't this page be at Blue wildebeest? Or do multi-word animal articles use intitial caps for all words? --tjstrf Now on editor review! 20:47, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

In the literature and especially on Wikipedia, the convention is all first letter caps for higher mammals. See for example other bovids, all Wildebeests, all Lemurs, all Marmorsets. It would thus be very odd and out of step to change the title. regards. Covalent 21:35, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA Sweeps (on hold)

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed.

• There need to be more cites. I'd like at least one cite per paragraph
• The lead is too short. About one sentence per section is good in an article of this length.

I will check back in no less than seven days. If progress is being made and issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far.

[edit] Article Delisted
