I am reading through now and am making straightforward changes as I go. Please revert any where I inadvertently change the meaning. Queries below. Also, don't automatically do what I suggest - if you think otherwise please say so and we can discuss. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:07, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • With a wingspan of 24–28 millimetres, females being larger than males, the Lulworth Skipper is considered a small butterfly; it is the smallest member of the Thymelicus genus in Europe and is among the smallest butterflies in Britain.... - this paragraph is a little repetitive - I'd lose the the Lulworth Skipper is considered a small butterfly segment and connect the first bit to the description somehow.
  • In the Taxonomy section, anything about closest relatives or subspecies etc.?

2. Factually accurate and verifiable?:

References to sources:
Citations to reliable sources, where required:
No original research:

3. Broad in coverage?:

Major aspects: - okay, I will assume good faith that there is not really much out there accessible. This does happen alot once one moves away from warm-blooded vertebrates :)
Focused:

4. Reflects a neutral point of view?:

Fair representation without bias:

5. Reasonably stable?

No edit wars, etc. (Vandalism does not count against GA):

6. Illustrated by images, when possible and appropriate?:

Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

Overall:

Pass or Fail:

We're almost there - the only things I'd add if possible are some more on taxonomy/related species, the meaning of the specific name (after Actaeon?), and if there is any info on parasites, predators etc. i.e. what birds eat it, any wasps etc. which parasitize it. If none can be found then that's ok. Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:31, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've just looked through all of my sources and some online, and can't find any information on the areas you mention. Sorry. I'll try and get hold of some other sources another time, but I can't promise anything soon. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 18:34, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Update - for GA status, I'll now presume what we have is what we have and represents decent summary of what we have on the little critter. GA passed. Casliber (talk · contribs) 23:31, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
