I noticed in the "Legacy and historical perception" section of this article that a sentence within it is not neutral. It states, "He was undoubtedly one of the greatest natural history explorers of the 19th century."^[1] I think the sentence could be reconstructed in a way that gets the point across that his achievements were in fact significant, yet only presents facts. Something along the lines of "Wallace had many significant achievements and made many discoveries, making him a prominent natural history explorer during his time," which still ties into the following sentence? --Jldgx6 (talk) 18:51, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article contains 6 paragraphs in the lead section. According to WP:LEAD, an article should have no more than 4 well-written paragraphs (especially because this is a featured article). Could someone knowledgable about Wallace combine/remove some paragraphs? Cheers. Wretchskull (talk) 13:33, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This older FA has a good bit of uncited text, including a couple entire short paragraphs in various sections. Per the current FA critiera, the vast majority of the uncited material will need cited in order to meet the current criteria. If this is not done, a featured article review may be necessary.
