[edit] About the initial B rating
This was actually a good rating, as only 4 of 73 mustelid articles were given this rating at the outset. User:Warlordjohncarter did an enormous amount of work very quickly to provide these initial classifications. I've requested specific comments on further improvements at Wikipedia:WikiProject Mammals/Mustelids work group because I feel this article could reach GA status without too much additional work, and could perhaps serve as a template for other lesser-known yet important mustelids to emulate.

I reviewed the other three B class articles, one of which concerns a fictional mustelid. Obviously, this article is not going to achieve the breadth of the more general articles such as ferret. Then I reviewd this article and I see a couple of issues myself:
- excessive use of external links inline, not hard to fix
- a fair amount of technical vocabulary that could perhaps be written more accessibly
- a citation-heavy writing style, but I'm not sure this detracts from a more specialized article such as this one
- little account of human relations with v.p. supposing there is much of anything to relate
- the sub-species and conservation treatment could be standardized, given a standard to comform to
