This article is a very old FA, and unfortunately it seems to have suffered from entropy since then. This feels apparent from the start of the article, with the lead being quite sparse. Much of the prose of the body is similarly stubby, with many short and disjointed paragraphs. There are odd bits of prose throughout (eg. a long quote from a "Bryan Fry", a paragraph on a single celebrity incident), which feel pasted on without much thought to the overall article. Much likely needs to be rewritten. In terms of comprehensiveness, the article is also lacking. There is a clear omission in the lack of a section explaining the range and sub-populations (and why is Gili Motang specifically mentioned in the lead?). It is strange that there is a section titled "Incidents with humans", as it makes Komodos sound like a species from remote areas where they are rarely encountered, instead of from inhabited islands where their presence must be accounted for in day-to-day life. This relates to the currently poor Popular culture section, which as is should be scrapped, but which should be replaced with a proper section on their cultural and perhaps even socioeconomic influence. Some parts of the article need sourcing, like the first paragraph of Evolutionary history. Existing sources need to be reviewed, both to remove terrible ones (there is currently a citation to deviantart), and to clean up existing ones with a consistent style and page numbers and the other FA odds and ends. As a final aside, the article could use an image of a juvenile, especially one in a tree. (This notification is made as part of ].) ] (]) 12:36, 24 June 2022 (UTC) |
