Beginning the GA review.
 — ZKevinTheCat

While the article met the last 5 criteria during its initial review, the first was still a little out of reach. There were several sections that felt like they were trying to increase wordcount and a lot of redundant and/or unnecessary text. After cleaning up the article, I can safely pass it now. The article is obviously not perfect, but it reads much better now and I can actually follow it pretty well. I would encourage additional improvements to be made, as my version of the article is still flawed.
This marks GA #20 for PrimalMustelid. Congrats! ZKevinTheCat (talk) 06:32, 1 April 2025 (UTC)


### Amphimeryx
This article was already listed for GA, and I implemented similar changes from the Pseudamphimeryx GAN review. However, I would like to take this for my first FAC review and am therefore requesting a peer review here.

"into its own genus" so it went  Dichobune > monotypic > Amphimeryx?
Correct. PrimalMustelid (talk) 11:57, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
Despite its selenodont (crescent-like ridges) dentition being similar to ruminants, it differs from them by retaining its first premolars instead of losing them evolutionarily and its specialized level of selenodonty in its molars that have five total cusps on them. sentence could be split in two
Split the sentence. PrimalMustelid (talk) 11:57, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
1.511 kg seems very precise but I assume it is supported by ref in main somewhere

I assume you determined the third cladogram not necessary?
It's a PhD thesis, so I'll leave it to FAC reviewers to decide whether it'd be best to include a thesis cladogram or not. PrimalMustelid (talk) 11:57, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
what does occipital crests mean?

what does fronto-parietal suture mean?
Explained a bit more and linked suture at first mention. PrimalMustelid (talk) 11:57, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

I recommend liberal use of |display-author=1 in your references
I'll see if FAC reviewers will recommend this first. PrimalMustelid (talk) 11:57, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
they probably won't. so up to you, Dracophyllum, (1 PR) 21:25, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
all images require WP:ALT text for FA
Added alt text for images. PrimalMustelid (talk) 11:57, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
I would have a look at MOS:INTRO and consider being careful with how much jargon you use in the lede
Got it, but I think I provided adequate explanations for important information within the lede. PrimalMustelid (talk) 11:57, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
detail is pretty intense, but you mostly do well with linking technical terms, keep WP:MTAU in mind however. detail seems inline with other FAs though.
I'm pretty confident this meets GA, and GA isn't a prereq for FA, but it would probably benefit from a slightly more detailed GA review in the future.
ok that's all, I have a peer review of my own if you wouldn't mind taking a look. cheers, Dracophyllum, (1 PR) 10:28, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
I'll consider looking at the review a bit later, then. PrimalMustelid (talk) 11:57, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
