Hello! I'll be doing this review. It'll take a few days for me to get through the whole article. Starsandwhales (talk) 16:24, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

Notes

• The grammar is very good! Everything is very clear and easy to understand. One thing that may help is in the "Conservation" section would be to reiterate that the quagga is a subspecies of plains zebra.

Thank you. As the article already states, the quagga may not be a subspecies, since recent research found that there are no subspecies. LittleJerry (talk) 14:38, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

• For the image in the "Diet and predation" section with the caption "Lions feeding on zebra they killed", I can't find fair use rationale or a source. It's not tagged as an own work so I don't know where the image came from.

The source is linked. It was posted to flickr under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic license and was reviewed and approved for posting on wikicommons. (see tag under Licensing) LittleJerry (talk) 14:38, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

• The coverage is broad, but more information on zebra anatomy would make this article cover all major aspects

There's nothing special about zebra anatomy that isn't covered in Equine anatomy. LittleJerry (talk) 14:38, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

Notes 2

• All of the references check out. Thanks for pointing out the information about the image. Everything looks good to me.
