I have surfaced from my long catnapslumber and have taken up the task of reviewing this article.
- This article is stable.
- This article has no tags or banner requesting clean-up.
- This article is highly unlikely to contain copyvio according to Eargwig.
- It is broad in its coverage- yes, this article likely summarizes everything known about this relatively obscure taxon.
- It is illustrated; all images are tagged with their respective licenses.
- Everything is cited to reliable sources, which are formatted correctly and linked where possible. There's a bunch of Biodiversity Library links for the older ones, which is nice.
Now for the hard part, actually reading the article:
- Lede
- I made some changes but the prose overall still feels a bit clunky. But the lede overall is of a good length and hits the high points of the article.
(More to come...)
Continuance:
- Bold the Xiphodon mention in the cladogram
- Link tympanic bullae in Description.
- The upper ear canal's morphology in Xiphodon is recorded also in the Palaeogene camelid Poebrotherium. Why is the relevant? Do you mean they have the same or similar morphology there?
- While I'd recommend giving it a close copyedit for clarity and sentence length overall, everything is understandable if you pay enough attention so I have no issues with the prose.
It's really close to GA, honestly, you've gotten better at writing in general. SilverTiger12 (talk) 21:09, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, and I implemented your suggestions. PrimalMustelid (talk) 21:25, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
