Bonacynodon (final version) received a peer review by Wikipedia editors, which on 20 January 2022 was archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article.
You could use the gloss for serrated from the body in the lead.
Done
There shouldn't be references in the lead. Instead, those facts should be mentioned and cited in the body. Specifically, "It was a fairly close relative of mammals, the only group of cynodonts alive today" needs to be added to the body.
Done. The part about it being a close relative of mammals is already covered in the classification section.
Link clade at first mention in both body and lead, and consider adding a gloss like (group formed by all the descendants of a common ancestor).
Done
temporal region (area behind the orbits) → temporal region (area behind the eye sockets)?
Done
formed by the maxillae → Link maxilla here instead of the next paragraph and perhaps add (upper jaw bones) as a gloss
Done
The first para in Dentition is uncited, assuming you forgot to add the ref
Done
Explain what a cusp is or link.
Done
References are reliable and consistently formatted.
Spot checks on refs 1 and 2 found that they supported the claims they made.
Not required for GA, but you could add alt text for the images.
@AryKun: Hi, I've fixed most of the things you pointed out. I'll add alt text once I figure out how the system works. —Trilletrollet [ Talk | Contribs ] 14:03, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In Visual edit mode, you can click on an image to edit it and there's a bar for adding alt text. As an aside, I can't figure out where to list this at WP:GA, since there isn't a section for non-mammal synapsids. AryKun (talk) 14:31, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@AryKun: Some non-mammalian synapsids (such as Dimetrodon and Gorgonopsia) have been placed in the Reptiles and Amphibians section, whereas the non-mammalian synapsid Castorocauda has been placed in the mammal section. Bonacynodon was anatomically much closer to mammals than to reptiles or amphibians, so I suppose it would be best to put it in the mammal section. —Trilletrollet [ Talk | Contribs ] 14:50, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
