• I've given the article a general copyedit; you can revert any changes you disagree with.
• "physicist Rudemar Ernesto Blanco" Why was a physicist describing a new species?

Physics is the language of the natural world, it's a pretty versatile title. He's employed in the engineering department at the Montevideo institute of physics Dunkleosteus77 (talk) 15:34, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

• "interprismatic" gloss

done Dunkleosteus77 (talk) 15:34, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

• What does suboval and sub rectangular mean?

not quite but almost oval/rectangular Dunkleosteus77 (talk) 15:34, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

Could you gloss this? AryKun (talk) 04:02, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

Should I just say "almost quadrilateral" instead of "subquadrilateral"? Dunkleosteus77 (talk) 14:16, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

Okay, that'll work. AryKun (talk) 01:44, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

• For the dental formula, you alternatively write the numbers as subscripts and superscripts. Does this have some meaning?

lower and upper tooth Dunkleosteus77 (talk) 15:34, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

• Link mesiodistal and linguolabial

I'm not really sure to where. Mesial and distal are used to describe location along the tooth row, and lingual and labial are used to describe location on the flat faces of a tooth Dunkleosteus77 (talk) 15:34, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

• Gloss temporal

I'm not sure what to write beyond "on the temporal bone" Dunkleosteus77 (talk) 15:34, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

• "became big" I feel like "evolved the same body shape" would be a better gloss.

We're not sure of the body shape since we only have the skull Dunkleosteus77 (talk) 15:34, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

• "Since germination...hypothesis")." Doesn't really seem directly relevant to Josephoartigasia's feeding habits.

I'm trying to relate it back to the ecology of animals with large bite forces, but it does get lost Dunkleosteus77 (talk) 15:34, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

• The images are all properly licensed and relevant.
• The references are all reliable and properly formatted.
• Spot-checks (ref numbers from this revision)
  • Ref 5: Supports claims made
  • Ref 17: Supports all claims made.
  • Ref 18: Supports all claims made.
• Nice work overall. AryKun (talk) 15:21, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

• The language still feels a bit technical but I guess that's unavoidable when writing about such a specialized topic. Will be passing. AryKun (talk) 15:56, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
