GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

• I randomly googled three phrases and only turned up Wikipedia mirrors. Earwig's tool shows no sign of copyright violation (the one site it flags up is a wiki mirror).
  • Noted.
• Source check: this source supports all the information cited to it.
  • Noted.
• MOS:
  • We have nothing in the empty "Notes" section - if that's not an error then it needs to be removed. (It's possible something is broken and not showing up that should...)
    • Removed.
• Lead:
  • "is that it is an honest signal to" can we have a quick explanation of "honest signal" here? Something like "is that it is a reliable or honest signal to"?
  • The next sentence does so; I've tweaked it to make this explicit.
• Total aside but my dwarf pygmy goat wether very occasionally stots when trying to convince his brother to play... but I named him Satan for a reason... but I picked this article to review because of Satan's behavior...
  • Anything that gets people interested!
• That's it that I can find. Another great little article on animal behavior...
  • Thank you.

I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.
