• Will do soon. AryKun (talk) 12:39, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
• Permalink to version reviewed.
• You could use the gloss for serrated from the body in the lead.
  •  Done
• There shouldn't be references in the lead. Instead, those facts should be mentioned and cited in the body. Specifically, "It was a fairly close relative of mammals, the only group of cynodonts alive today" needs to be added to the body.
  •  Done. The part about it being a close relative of mammals is already covered in the classification section.
• Link clade at first mention in both body and lead, and consider adding a gloss like (group formed by all the descendants of a common ancestor).
  •  Done
• temporal region (area behind the orbits) → temporal region (area behind the eye sockets)?
  •  Done
• formed by the maxillae → Link maxilla here instead of the next paragraph and perhaps add (upper jaw bones) as a gloss
  •  Done
• The first para in Dentition is uncited, assuming you forgot to add the ref
  •  Done
• Explain what a cusp is or link.
  •  Done
• References are reliable and consistently formatted.
• Spot checks on refs 1 and 2 found that they supported the claims they made.
• Not required for GA, but you could add alt text for the images.

  • @AryKun: Hi, I've fixed most of the things you pointed out. I'll add alt text once I figure out how the system works. —Trilletrollet [ Talk | Contribs ] 14:03, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
    • In Visual edit mode, you can click on an image to edit it and there's a bar for adding alt text. As an aside, I can't figure out where to list this at WP:GA, since there isn't a section for non-mammal synapsids. AryKun (talk) 14:31, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
      • @AryKun: Some non-mammalian synapsids (such as Dimetrodon and Gorgonopsia) have been placed in the Reptiles and Amphibians section, whereas the non-mammalian synapsid Castorocauda has been placed in the mammal section. Bonacynodon was anatomically much closer to mammals than to reptiles or amphibians, so I suppose it would be best to put it in the mammal section. —Trilletrollet [ Talk | Contribs ] 14:50, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
