I look forward to getting started with this review! Mover of molehills (talk) 18:33, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'll break up the review by section:

Well-written

There's nothing on it. LittleJerry (talk) 19:49, 14 May 2022 (UTC) [reply]
Okay, fair enough. Mover of molehills (talk) 20:33, 14 May 2022 (UTC) [reply]

Behavior and life history

[edit]

Conservation

[edit]

Broad

[edit]

The article feels broad enough to pass this category, at least for GA status. In the future, I would recommend potentially adding a bit more information about mandrill evolution before you submit it to GA. Mover of molehills (talk) 20:38, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Verifiable

[edit]
  • I don't see evidence for the phrase "The red coloration is created by blood vessels near the surface of the skin" in the given source. Mover of molehills (talk) 14:36, 15 May 2022 (UTC) [reply]
    It says "during our studies, only the red, vascular areas of sexual skin...." and contrasts it with blue skin which "....is controlled by a separate mechanism in male primates and is not dependent upon vascular supply or circulating testosterone."

Neutral

[edit]

Automatic pass, since this isn't something we really need to worry about for an article like this. Mover of molehills (talk) 20:03, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Stable

[edit]

Automatic pass, from looking at the revision history. Mover of molehills (talk) 20:03, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Illustrated

[edit]

This section looks great, the article has a very nice range of pictures! Mover of molehills (talk) 19:38, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Verdict

[edit]

Promoted. Great work on this article! I think that the editing has helped a lot, and it is now a very solid GA. In the future, I recommend that you think about expanding the sections on evolutionary history if you can, and then send it straight to FAC! Mover of molehills (talk) 12:35, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Great article: congrats! For FAC it would be good to update the range map (File:Mandrill area.png) in accordance with The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2019 (our map follows the 2008 edition). a455bcd9 (Antoine) (talk) 09:32, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
