Hi. OK, I've had a look. Here are some comments. Footnote numbers relate to the current version at this moment, which is at [1]:
(1) I think the new species descriptions look good. With those "main article" pointers, it's best to have a section heading too, so I've added them. Note that binomial names of species, like Phodopus campbelli, have both parts in italics, and that the second word is never capitalised, even when it derives from a name (like Campbell).
(2) In the species sections, you should improve the formatting in the following way. Instead of
which gives
you should use the range form of Template:convert, like this
which gives
This makes it much less wordy and more readable. Optionally, you can miss out the "abbr=on" parameter from the very first instance only, if you want "millimetres" to be written in full the first time. But only the first time.
(3) In the rest of the article, you don't appear to have done as much as you need, and the citations are still in a mess:

( ←) I've given it a further copy edit. There are still a small number of issues:
After you've dealt with these, I don't know enough about how the GA people think to know whether it would pass it, but I do think it needs a thorough citation check by another editor first. Best, -- Stfg ( talk) 20:00, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi Puffin. I've been checking citations on Phodopus, and am a little concerned. Compare "A well pronounced dorsal stripe runs from the nape of the neck to the base of the tail. The throat, underside and legs are white and the upper surface of the hands and feet are silvery white. Internal cheek pouches extend back to the shoulders when full" in the article with "A well-defined mid-dorsal stripe runs from the nape of the neck to the base or up to 2.5 cm anterior to the base of the tail. The throat, underparts and legs are creamy buff...The upper surface of the hands and feet are silvery white...Large internal cheek pouches extend back to the shoulders when full." That comparison shows WP:Close paraphrasing, and any GA reviewer who spots it is likely to fail the article. There are also some more minor issues with sourcing and citation formatting, but this is a biggie. Nikkimaria ( talk) 20:57, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
Oh, I know what happened, I just don't know how. I don't recall clicking rollback at all. I had the GA on my watch list. I don't know. I blame my Magic Mouse. Yeah, that'll work. Hazardous Matt ( talk) 17:38, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
Sorry for that, I was trying to remove myself and I suppose that I also removed 1 of your pages. ~~ Ebe123~~ → report on my contribs. 20:26, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

I believe I have addressed all complaints with the GA nomination of Dark Fantasy (song), if not tell me what else needs to done. Bruce Campbell ( talk) 17:53, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for your support at my recent successful RFA. Being now the new fellow in the fraternity of administrators, I will do my best to live up to the confidence shown in me by others, will move slowly and carefully when using the mop, will seek input from others before any action of which I might be unsure, and will try not to break anything beyond repair.

Hi Puffin, I think the IP there had at least some good faith edits in mind. The discography has been split to a standalone article so it's customary to not have all those detailed tables in the artist's main article. See also my edits along that line.

Hi, Puffin. I've resolved the non-breaking space issue. Also, thank you for the copyedit. Is there anything else that should be addressed? -- Starstriker7( Talk) 03:33, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
I have responded to your requests at Talk:The Hungry Earth/GA1. Please elaborate on what you mean by "non-breaking spaces" and how I can create them. Thanks, Glimmer721 talk 17:27, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Puffin, Did you mean to get a partial post at my page or was that for someone else? Since it doesn't look completed, I'm not sure. Cheers,

Hi Puffin, you didn't approve the submission of the iGrafx wikipage due to missing inline citations. There are inline citations included already, is there something wrong with them? Thanks, Gretchen

The recent comment on my article is that it is not supported by reliable and independent sources. I already included interviews on TV and newspapers. Please help.
thanks!

I realized I did not read your latest comment on the article and what I read was the previous comment about the sources.
Thank you for your suggestions. Fasyonabol ( talk) 05:45, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
You just created a couple of redirects from various non-English terms to Acre. I have my doubts about such redirects in general (actually I was about to decline them but you were faster than me), but in particular, AKR and ERV are disambiguation pages, and ERW redirects to Electric resistance welding. I'll change the targets of Akr, Erv and Erw accordingly. Huon ( talk) 20:22, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
The references can be too informative of identical sources with External Links, however, I have tried to use the "reflist", however, the External Links may do, although, if you may have checked the The Christmas Hope and The Christmas Shoes are just some of the edits I am trying to produce for this article in creation. Any explanation, please?-- GoShow ( ...............) 18:50, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
Hello Puffin, Thanks so much for your feedback regarding the article "12 Peers Theater." I'm a little confused about why it was rejected though; the theatre company received two significant mentions in Pittsburgh Magazine as well as other brief mentions in Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. A similar article I created, Organic Theater Pittsburgh, had a comparable amount of coverage in its earliest stages and was considered notable when it was nominated for deletion. Could you please explain why this article is different so that I can improve it? Thanks! -- Frankgorshin ( talk) 19:43, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
I did talk to User:Mrmatiko after they first reviewed it, and have revised the article since then. My point is that the article contains about as much information as Organic Theater Pittsburgh, and yet that article has been found worthy for inclusion while the 12 Peers Theater article hasn't. There are other articles about theatre companies of similar length such as Off the Wall Productions and Terra Nova Theatre Group that have not been considered inappropriate for Wikipedia. It is highly likely more information will be added to the 12 Peers article as time goes on and the theatre continues to have more productions, but at the moment it seems to have as much information as any short article about a theatre company on Wikipedia, so I'm still kind of confused about why it's not ready for publication. I'm not sure what else I could add to it to meet the basic requirements for inclusion. Do you have any suggestions as to how I could expand it to meet the same level of acceptability as the articles about theatre companies that I've mentioned? Thank you! -- Frankgorshin ( talk) 15:04, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
