This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review in preparation for taking it to WP:FAC. I did the GA reviews for it, including a close look through the sourcing, and I believe the article is already pretty close to FA standard (although this is my first run at trying to take something through the FA process, so what do I know!). I'm not the main author of the article, User:Jackhynes did most of the recent content work, but Jack was gracious and said he'd be OK with me trying to take it to FA.
Thanks, Zad68

Comments from Casliber edit
- Don't bold items not in the lead.
- I'd combine the first two sections into a taxonomy and naming section.
Comments from Jim edit
As far as communication for now... Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:55, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
- 1 lb (0.5 kg)—very unusual to give Imperial precedence in any science article, let alone one for a species not native to the US. Also inconsistent with the description section
- primates, taxonomic, mandibular, molar, monogamous, prosociality, frequency-modulated—link at first occurrence
- except "prosociality" as prosocial behavior already linked earlier
- grammatical structure, which is acquired. —seems to fade away, perhaps a couple of words to indicate how is it acquired?
- "Pinché tamarin in English". — how is this English, looks French to me?
- in French—Colombia is Spanish-speaking, no justification I can see for having French, German Russian or any other languages
- The species was first described by Linnaeus in 1758—not under that name though, Simia oedipus according to p. 28 of Systema Naturae.
- modified claws—how are they modified?
- above 400 meters, but has been encountered up to 1,500 meters. —conversions
- I noticed that birds of prey was linked to bird, not bird of prey
- The species is now protected by international law, and although they are numerous in captivity, they are still critically endangered in the wild—changes from singular to plural
- Up to you, but as a layman there seems to be so much on communication that the article may be a bit unbalanced
- "snake" and "hawk" are a bit vague, particularly the latter where even the definition is vague. The list of predators seems minimal—no eagles or large owls?
- Internal and external parasites?
- What is ref 5? Doesn't look right either for a book or a journal article
- What's the origin of the binomial? I'm intrigued by the oedipus bit Jimfbleak - talk to me? 19:33, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
- exported for research into Epstein-Barr virus, colitis, and colon cancer. — not sure it's clear that the tamarin is prone to these in captivity Jimfbleak - talk to me? 19:39, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
Make refs uniform edit
- Check that book refs have a publisher, and give location for all or none. Also isbn
- check that web refs all have a publisher
- Last ref lacks access date
- Some US states in full, some abbreviated. I'd suggest full since not all readers are Americans
- pdfs variously have (PDF) or not. It's simple not to fill the format field.
- You will find that at FAC consistency is important. A wide variety of reference styles are acceptable, but you must stick rigidly to whatever practice you adopt
- I have absolutely no "religion" when it comes to citation style and will happily redo all the refs to make them consistent. Can you point me to an existing FA that has a ref style I can copy? I'll just use whatever it is, I don't really care.

- You misunderstand me, you've used the cite family consistently, which is fine, but you need to make sure that
- you meet mos requirements such as a publisher for all citewebs and an isbn and publisher for all citebooks unless too old, page numbers for book refs
- Need to find specific page numbers for:
- Defler 2004 - ? no searchable text online, may need to find another source
- Eisenberg 1999 - chapter 9, pages 230-
- Estrada 2006 - page 35
- Garber 1993 - hopefully, cite is localized to a specific chapter, about 25 pages
- Hershkovitz 1977 - also localized to the specific 2 book chapters

- Need to find specific page numbers for:
- after the mandatory mos, you are consistent as to which fields you use, so for books give location for all or none, consistent access date style for citewebs, show PDF or not, page range style (101–106 or 101–6) Jimfbleak - talk to me? 19:27, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
- Understood now, will make refs uniform.

Final trawl edit
- Ref 9 has no pages and you shouldn't have caps unless it's actually an acronym
- Refs 10 and 16 have only the start of a page name
- Refs 47, 48. If you don't know the author, it's normal to leave blank
- It's not a requirement to alternate image placements. In particular, one of you left-aligned displaces a heading, which I can't say I like. However, that's up to you
