1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	A clear and elegantly written article.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	The lead is too short to summarize article adequately.:ok. Layout: ok. Weasel: ok. Fiction: n/a. List: n/a.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	Ref format ok. Some authors are Surname, name and others vice versa. It would be nice to have this tidied up but it's not a GA criterion.
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	Article is well cited. A couple of paras in 'Conservation' don't have refs, might be best to find some. Chacma baboon#Distribution and subspecies needs a ref too.
	2c. it contains no original research.	Basically ok; there are a few uncited claims (see above) eg canine teeth longer than lion's. Might be best to ref those.
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	Interesting and informative coverage on anatomy, distribution, behavior, status.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	Well focused. No irrelevant material, no rabbit holes. Behavior is covered more than other topics but to a reasonable degree.
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	Encylopedic tone.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.	A fair amount of recent development but no sign of editwarring.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	All images from Commons.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	Well chosen and relevant images. Could be scope for one or two more, e.g. showing Dominance behavior.
	7. Overall assessment.
