Unlink the countries in the lead (Canada, Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine and large parts of the United States) – see
MOS:OL for further information.
Done.
There is usually no need to include citations in the lead section for uncontroversial information such as in this article (see
WP:WHENNOTCITE). The ones here can be removed.
Angustidontus moravicus Chlupáč, 1978 in the infobox should also be mentioned somewhere in the text of the article, where it should also be cited.
Done.
Description
Link crustacean, as this has been done in the lead.
Done.
6 centimeters in length (9 centimeters... – should both be converted using
Template:Convert.
Done.
subchelate cannot be wikilinked, so I would include a brief explanation in brackets or as a separate note. Ditto pleonal; gnathobase. It may be worth adding a link to the terms in Wiktionary (use [[w:Example|example]]).
Done. I've added explanations to other terms as well. Is the description now less technical?
This section and those that follow all have many duplicate links, which should be removed (see
MOS:DUPLINK, which suggests using
User:Evad37/duplinks-alt to help to remove them).
Done, thanks for taking the time for looking up their full names.
Link gill raker; articulation (
Joint; cephalothoracic shield (
Cephalothorax).
Done.
noted several times by prominent researchers - several times creates an ambiguous statement and should be avoided. Each researcher noted several times, or the researchers as a group noted more than once?
Rewritten.
(albeit dubiously so) – is confusing, why was it dubious and who thought so?
Rewritten, is it better?
Could for decades be made more precise?
I've removed it, as I found it quite superfluous.
This was not universal however – consider amending to something like ‘This treatment was not universal however’, for the sake of clarity.
Rewritten and added another example mentioned in the source.
Who was Jean Berdan? She should be introduced and linked (
Jean Milton Berdan).
Done.
Consider linking worm and sponge, as these words have both common and more scientific meanings, and it is the latter that relevant here.
I've linked
worm to the informal article. It is a quoted word in the cited source (
[2], page 76). I can also put it in quotes if necessary or just remove it if it's too problematic. Linked
sponge.
Journal of the Alberta Society of Petroleum Geologists should be in italics;
1960 and 1960 should be in brackets,
etc.
Message me if you would like me to deal this one, it’s not a difficult issue for me to sort, and it would take a while to explain in detail.
I've done lots of changes to the references. I think it's all fine now.
On hold
I'm putting the article on hold for a week until 28 February to allow time for the issues raised to be addressed. The article is technically a little challenging for the average reader, but not too much so. It is definitely on the right track to be a GA.Regards,

I've dealt with all but two points. Please reply if you disagree with my changes or have any other suggestions. Will be coming back to them in the next few days.

Hi
Amitchell125, I will deal with the two remaining points soon. I wanted to ask you about the dash templates here
[3]. Is there any Wikipedia policy recommending their usage? Otherwise I think the en dash character itself would be more appropriate. Regards,
SuperΨDro21:14, 23 February 2024 (UTC)reply
Hi, where I have amended the references section, it has been done according to the MOS, including the use of dashes. Correctly-formatted references are not critical to GA though, so if you want to, change them. Regards,
