I can't find the ref for the 'third largest' claim in the first two sources. This source cited in the article says it's the fifth largest, and so does List of deserts by area for instance.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 05:13, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

I believe it to be an honest mistake. Thank you for your kind words; I have fixed the issue. Cheers, ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 13:18, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Good, I think it passes the review now! It's surely long and new enough, though the wording can be improved in my opinion. Perhaps it could be changed to something like "that some of the wildlife species of Mongolia are found in the Gobi desert (pictured), the fifth largest in the world?".--eh bien mon prince (talk) 21:24, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Done! Best, ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 09:45, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
