This article is about one of the earliest known members of Ornithischia, one of the three major groups of dinosaurs. It's a very important picture of their evolution and the first time a primitive ornithischian rather than one of the more famous later forms has made it up to FAC—though hopefully not the last.

General thoughts by Generalissima

I would heavily, heavily recommend using SFNs or some other form of page notation for every book/journal cite. This makes it a lot easier for both readers and reviewers.
A lot of these paragraphs are a bit too large to be easily readable in my eyes; the penultimate paragraph of the Discovery and naming section is the worst offender here.
Lede seems a bit short relative to the total length of the body, might be good to beef it up a little.
All images are appropriately licensed. This isn't a FA requirement, but I'd recommend adding alt-text.

That's all at first check. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 07:25, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback by Shushugah

I did not realize how prominent country locations were for Dinosaurs, despite fact that Earth/geopolitics has changed a lot since. For example Lesotho is enclaved within South Africa. But if this is the convention, I accept it.
Use straight quotes ie wiki conventions for MOS:APOSTROPHE e.g not ‘’
a partial left ischium
Place image of skull in Section about features, particularly passage about uniform teeth
In the diagram, why do other names e.g Parapredentata preview to Ornithischia?
Putting two wide charts in same row is inaccessible on desktop and certainly mobile. Move them to separate and avoid language like "left/right" chart and instead refer to first/second charts.
Section named Palaeoecology does not make it obvious what Palaeoecology even is.
I like the layout of Theropoda where it has a Biology section, and within each is organized by section for easier navigation.

Sourcing and references

Wiki link all journals/websites mentioned in sourcing
Consistently link to DOI
Consistent author names Breeden III, Bejamin T. and Breeden, Benjamin T.
Inline body, is it normal to quote full name of first author and only last name of second author? Example A later 2021 study by Carlos-Manuel Herrera-Castillo, Sánchez-Villagra
