I have just modified one external link on
Hughmilleria. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit
this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

I will leave the lead section for the time being and come back to it later.
In the description section, you start in the present tense and then move on to the past tense and back to the present. You really need to stick to one or the other.
Text changed.
The description section launches straight into the similarities and dissimilarities of the Hughmilleriads with the more derived eurypterids and Eurypterus, but it could do with a few opening sentences stating what its basic body plan is.
Done.
"But in spite of its similarities with Eurypterus, the marginal compound eyes, his relatively large chelae" - should be "its relatively large chelae".
Done.
" its subquadrate prosoma (head), his medium-sized chelicerae," - again, "his" is inappropriate.
Done.
Where possible, state who people like "Clifton J. Sarle" are, and where places like the "Pittsford Shale Member" are, wikilinking them where you can.
Done.
"En 1961" - presumably you mean "In".
Yes, it was a mistake.
There is some repetition between the first paragraph of the "Classification" section and the preceding section.
I rewrote the text a bit so they do not look so much alike.
"Ludlovian epoch" - Is this the same as the Ludlow epoch?
Yes, I changed the text to avoid confusion.
Wikilink or gloss epimera, opercular, xiphosuran, ostracod, lithology, biota, and anything else a bit obscure.
The lead section is supposed to summarise the main body of text so there should be no need for citations in the lead section.
Citations removed.
"With the biggest specimen measuring 20 centimetres (7.9 inches) in length, Hughmilleria is considered a small genus of eurypterid." - Two things here, 20cm is obviously an approximation, a rounded number, so 7.9 inches is too accurate. Also, a small genus means a genus with few members rather than a genus of small eurypterids.
Text changed.
When you have dealt with the points I raise above, I propose to do a little light copyediting to improve the prose, rather than listing the various things I noticed here.

I inform that within a few hours (right now I can not) I will remove the species section and redistribute the information from the section in other sections, as in other eurypterid articles.
