Review

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	See comments below. IntentionallyDense (talk) 21:09, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 21:09, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
2. Verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 14:12, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
	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).	Checked most of the sources and found no issues. IntentionallyDense (talk) 14:12, 7 October 2024 (UTC) Non-fiction synopsis needs to be sourced. IntentionallyDense (talk) 14:24, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
	2c. it contains no original research.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 14:12, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 14:12, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 21:09, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	IntentionallyDense (talk) 21:09, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 14:12, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 14:12, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
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.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 14:12, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 14:12, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
	7. Overall assessment.	I'm going to place this on hold until the nominator addresses the points I have raised thus far. IntentionallyDense (talk) 21:09, 7 October 2024 (UTC) Failed due to inactivity. IntentionallyDense (talk) 03:03, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

• Tom Holland at The Times and other reviewers especially singled out his ability to describe paleontological landscapes. Is a bit confusing. Could you expand on this and reword a bit? IntentionallyDense (talk) 14:25, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
• I feel like this article relies too much on quotes. A lot of what you are quoting could be summarized or rephrased without the use of quotes. IntentionallyDense (talk) 14:24, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
• The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs was Brusatte's first book for a popular adult audience Could you clarify what this means? IntentionallyDense (talk) 21:09, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
• @Rusalkii: Just wanted to ping you to make sure that you're aware I've started the review here. IntentionallyDense (talk) 18:32, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
