This article has been the subject of at least 1 FARC, and a FAR - none of which achieved any improvement in the article. The article does not meets today's FA critera. Problems include

1. Comprehensiveness, inlcuding the lead which mostly discusses taxomony
2. Prose is grammatically poor and for a general reader probably hard to understand - for example technical terms are not linked or explained
3. References were added after the fact, and I doubt any verification has taken place in the interim; inlines are mostly absent

• I agree with Peta: prose OK in parts, bad in parts. Under-referenced. Disorganised. Can the contributors be marshalled in time to save this? Tony 11:45, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
