I'll review this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 13:53, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's the only issue -- I had some minor prose comments but have copyedited myself rather than post them here. The article is quite short but seems broad enough in its coverage for GA; it does cover all the areas I would expect. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 14:23, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for being a bit late. I haven't been too active on WP lately. Unfortunately, I did not provide the file and have no idea if it's being used legally. I will gladly remove it, if that's what you'd recommend. --An anonymous username, not my real name (talk) 23:20, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think that would be the simplest way to handle it. Then I can pass this as a GA, and if you or anyone else clarifies the licensing for that picture it can be re-added later. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 00:37, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed. Should be all ready. --An anonymous username, not my real name (talk) 02:38, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Image is gone, so just a couple of spotchecks:

  • FN 16: OK.
  • FN 5: source: "The herds observed by Kiltie (315) in the Peruvian Amazon never had a proportion of juveniles greater than 20 percent"; article has "Studies of herds in the Peruvian Amazon found no herd with a proportion of juvenile peccaries greater than 20%"; too close to the original phrasing per WP:PARAPHRASE. The "greater than 20%" part can't really be rephrased, but can you do anything with the rest of the sentence?
  • FN 5: article: "T. pecari breeds year-round. The estrus cycle generally lasts about 18-21 days. After a gestation period of about 158 days, two young are usually born. They are capable of moving with the rest of the herd just hours after birth." The source has "They apparently breed year-round (287, 296, 336, 382). The usual length of the oestrus cycle is 18-21 days and the gestation period of 158 days (508) usually produces two young. The newborn peccaries are precocious and can follow the pack within a few hours." Similarities but they're pretty much unavoidable here, and sufficient paraphrasing is done.

Sorry to make you jump through one more hoop, but can you fix the second of these above? Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 02:52, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since there was just the one issue remaining I fixed it myself. Passing. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 10:25, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
