1. Well-written

From what I can see, this article is beautifully written. As someone who knows very little about spiders, I can still understand it perfectly. The lead also serves its purpose very well. Overall, 10/10!

2. Verifiable

As of now, I have gone through the article's bibliography to make sure everything is a reliable source. It all looks great on my first look. I am now going to take a sample of a few citations and make sure they all support the text. This may take a bit but I should be back with my results later today.

Question for you! How should I access most of these articles? MallardTV Talk to me! 13:07, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@MallardTV: Thank you for your encouraging review. That is a good question. I use a lot of methods as you often need a university account to access them through the publishers, and even then some universities do not subscribe to all the journals. CORE[1] is useful for open access articles. Another way is via the World Spider Catalog bibliography[2]. This gives the pages numbers were each species is mentioned, although you will need to create an account to download the articles themselves. I hope that is helpful. simongraham (talk) 14:04, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

3. Broad in its coverage I feel as though this is a given. The article is written wonderfully and goes into as much detail as I think is possible with this little guy. Cheers!

4. Neutral Yeah, I don't see how you can't be neutral for something like this but it definitely passes this criteria. :)

5. Stable It passes this too.

6. Illustrated This is a great picture! I am going to assume this is in fact the right spider because why would it not be? He's a very cute little guy.

Other stuff

  • Earwig's Copyvio Detector shows about a 22% similarity to the world spider catalog but it isn't anything significant enough to worry me.

I think we're done here!

Overall, the article did not take long to go over because it is fairly short, which is not an issue at all. You went into great detail on the little guy and I love how the article is written. I have found no issues with this article and I'm going to say that it has passed.
