Mopane worm[edit]

This article has undergone a peer-review, and is the result of extensive research on the matter of mopane worms as a primary subject, and the industry that revolves around them as secondary matter. The article is lucid, well-thought out and pictorially informative without being cluttered. All pictures shown in the article are released into the public domain by their author.

I request that this article be Featured due to the points listed above.

Oppose. No references. (Other stuff too but this on its own is enough for an oppose). Batmanand | Talk 14:58, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Nice work so far. However, as said before, this article needs referencing. In addition, I can't help but feel that the paragraphs could be fleshed out a little more. The worm is spread over "a fairly large geographical area." Where? It's a "multi-million dollar industry." That's a little vague – can you give a more concrete number? "Some areas once rich in mopane worms are now barren." Again, where? When you find more information to flesh out the article to, it'll simultaneously reduce the seemingly short and overly broken-up sections and give you references to boot. We want to try to avoid vague generalizations and what are called "weasel words." Best of luck! — Rebelguys2 ^talk 23:23, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
