I already told you once on this very nomination that you should be careful with statements like "were known for". And please pay attention to the rules governing the use of punctuation in image captions. Imperators II(Talk) 18:24, April 27, 2020 (UTC)

The last sentence of the BTS adds no real value to the article and is there just to regurgitate the content of the Sources list. Please remove it.Imperators II(Talk) 13:04, April 5, 2020 (UTC)You should provide more context for Selonians, i.e., the fact that they are sentient and where do they originate from. Bulfusi could also use more context.Imperators II(Talk) 13:04, April 5, 2020 (UTC)- Added. OtterSurf (talk) 13:24, April 5, 2020 (UTC)
- I feel that more context is needed, since the only things we know about otters in general is what traits those similar species have. Are Selonians and Tynnans bipedal? Mammalian? Aquatic? Split up that sentence into more sentences and provide details. Imperators II(Talk) 13:36, April 5, 2020 (UTC)
- Added as much as I can. OtterSurf (talk) 17:21, April 5, 2020 (UTC)
- What about the Selonians and Tynnans being bipedal? And I still believe you should follow my suggestion regarding splitting the sentences. Imperators II(Talk) 19:22, April 5, 2020 (UTC)

- Why have you not added the CSWE to the Sources list? Imperators II(Talk) 13:36, April 5, 2020 (UTC)
- Please refer to our Manual of Style to see what rules govern the listing of CSWE in Sources sections. Imperators II(Talk) 14:09, April 5, 2020 (UTC)

The source does not say that Klepthian rock otters are known for biting into clams, that's OOU speculation. Please stick to the details that the source provides.Imperators II(Talk) 13:36, April 5, 2020 (UTC)Please add a link to the Wikipedia article on otters under External links and briefly describe real-world otters in the BTS.Imperators II(Talk) 08:12, April 6, 2020 (UTC)- Done. OtterSurf (talk) 09:01, April 6, 2020 (UTC)
- No, you can't reference something to Wikipedia, it's not a reliable source. Imperators II(Talk) 09:18, April 6, 2020 (UTC)
- Done. OtterSurf (talk) 09:01, April 6, 2020 (UTC)
The {{WebCite}} template is not used correctly. The template has a documentation page with instructions on it. Follow them.Imperators II(Talk) 07:21, April 7, 2020 (UTC)- Fixed. OtterSurf (talk) 11:52, April 7, 2020 (UTC)
- Try again. The template is still not used correctly according to its documentation. Imperators II(Talk) 16:12, April 7, 2020 (UTC)
- Fixed. OtterSurf (talk) 11:52, April 7, 2020 (UTC)
Given the IU otters eating clams, I think it'd be beneficial to note the diet of RL otters, too.Imperators II(Talk) 16:12, April 7, 2020 (UTC)- Done. OtterSurf (talk) 10:16, April 11, 2020 (UTC)
- You didn't do quite what I suggested you do. You should note the general diet of otters, which is noted in the same source you use for the previous sentence (and it would probably read better as a single sentence). And there's no need to mention the IU otters in there. Imperators II(Talk) 11:54, April 11, 2020 (UTC)
- Done. OtterSurf (talk) 10:16, April 11, 2020 (UTC)
Please add an image of a Selonian or a Tynnan with an appropriate, interesting caption.Imperators II(Talk) 14:36, April 27, 2020 (UTC)
