Cotton-top tamarin

Nominator(s): -- samtar ^{talk or stalk} 09:45, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

This article is about Saguinus oedipus, one of the smallest primates and commonly found in tropical forest edges in northwestern Colombia. I believe it should be featured as it is well written and does indeed exemplify Wikipedia's best work. I believe it meets the requirements of becoming a featured article. -- samtar ^{talk or stalk} 09:45, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi, a question; did you contribute in the writing of the article? Zad68 seems to have nominated it for GA, will he participate? From the FAC instructions: "Nominators must be sufficiently familiar with the subject matter and sources to deal with objections during the featured article candidates (FAC) process. Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article before nominating it." FunkMonk (talk) 10:00, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

@FunkMonk: Thank you for the question - no I have not contributed to the article, though I am familar with the subject matter. I've left a message on Zad's talk regarding the FA, though opted to nominate due to the inactivity of a number of main contributors - I hope this is not too much of an issue? -- samtar ^{talk or stalk} 10:10, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Preferably, you should have waited until Zad responded, but if you have acces to the sources and are familiar with them, it should be possible to follow through. FunkMonk (talk) 10:13, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Closing comment -- sorry but this review seems to have been a bit of a non-starter so I'll be archiving it shortly; perhaps another peer review (the last seems to have been a few years ago) would be worthwhile before considering another FAC nomination.
