GARC. I am by no means a subject expert but I will try. When it comes to spotchecks, I would apprecitate if where needed to provide supporting text as I am not able to access all sources. Thank you! // Chchcheckit (talk) 13:30, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:
· · ·

Broad

• Text covers all relevant areas

Prose

• legible and understandable; i.e. using "abdomen" instead of "othiprosoma". still confused on carapice and cephalothorax but that is a me issue.
  • I do not think you are alone, and the fact that one of the sources is in German adds to the adventure.

References

• Metzner 1999:
  • p. 132
    • Fixed "The underside of the cephalothorax, or sternum, is black with prominent dark brown hairs and bristles." mostly fine, but source states "ST black, prominent dark hairs and bristles." ("ST schwarz, abstehend dunkel behaart und beborstet.") Am I to assume "dark" means "dark brown" or is it closer to black??
      • "Brown" removed.
  • p. 133:
    • Fixed "The male spider has a yellow carapace, the hard topside of the cephalothorax, that measures between 2.65 and 3.25 mm (0.104 and 0.128 in) in length and between 2.2 and 2.9 mm (0.087 and 0.114 in) in width" The measurements are there but they refer to the prosoma; the yellow color on 133 also seems to only mention the tarsus. I am very confused about differentiating prosoma/carapace.
      • The carapace is the top of the cephalothorax, which also seems to be known as the prosoma.
    • Y "The male spider's abdomen is similar in length to the carapace but narrower, typically between 2.7 and 3.3 mm (0.11 and 0.13 in) long and between 1.7 and 2 mm (0.067 and 0.079 in) wide"
  • p. 134:
    • Y "The female is similar to the male, with a light sandy carapace that is typically between 2.9 and 3.25 in length and between 2.1 and 2.6 mm (0.083 and 0.102 in) in width. It has a slightly darker eye field with darker hairs and bristles than the male. Its sternum is light beige with a serrated black edge and a scattering of a few dark bristles. Its clypeus has prominent white scales and its chelicerae, labium and maxillae are light orange. It has a larger abdomen than the male, typically between 3.2 and 4.9 mm (0.13 and 0.19 in) long and between 2.2 and 3.2 wide. Some are orange on top with beige stripes that run from the front to the back and a pattern of a four short white lines in a black spot and a white surround to a black band in the middle. The underside of the abdomen is light beige and has black stripes that run along it, although they do not reach the front or back. Its legs are also beige with obvious dark hairs" however I think the page number is supposed to be 133; beyond that is another species
      • Fixed.
• EL-Hennawy 2022:
  • p. 524:
    • Fixed Thyene imperialis is widely distributed in Southern Europe, North and East Africa, across the Middle East to Central Asia and beyond, into China and India, with the species range extending to Indonesia. Does not say "widely distributed", but "Known". however, article does place emphasis on wide distribution throughout Egypt, where on p. 525 it is described as "the salticid species with largest distribution in Egypt".
      • Source added.
        • Could you provide the supporting text from the source? // Chchcheckit (talk) 01:07, 6 June 2025 (UTC)
          • No problem. The exact text is, "Distribution: Southern Europe, North and East Africa, Middle East to Central Asia and China, Pakistan, India, Indonesia". I have added the adverb "widely" based on the number of sightings of the spider in the literature as . simongraham (talk) 23:41, 6 June 2025 (UTC)
• Sherwood 2025:
  • p. 139
    • Fixed "Despite having a preference for warmer climates,in 2025, it was reported as a non-native species in the UK." First half needs source; second half is verified
      • Removed.
• No unreliable sources used

Copyvio

• Images are all CC licensed and relevant to article specimens
• Is flagged as 42.9%; however this is a false positive and is due to wiki article and source using same citations rather than this being an issue of copying prose

NPOV

• No issues?

Stable

• Largely stable since 30 April 2025. Nominator is page creator and ultimate editor.

@Chchcheckit: Thank you very much for your excellent review. Please take a look at my comments above and tell me if there is anything else. simongraham (talk) 18:30, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

End comments Okay, I'd say this is basically ready; last suggestion would be to replace infobox image with one that shows a clearer image of specimen. // Chchcheckit (talk) 13:57, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
