 * Permalink to version reviewed.
 * You could use the gloss for serrated from the body in the lead.
 * 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.
 * ✅. 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).
 * temporal region (area behind the orbits) → temporal region (area behind the eye sockets)?
 * formed by the maxillae → Link maxilla here instead of the next paragraph and perhaps add (upper jaw bones) as a gloss
 * The first para in Dentition is uncited, assuming you forgot to add the ref
 * Explain what a cusp is or link.
 * 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.

 * 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 &#124; Contribs ] 14:03, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * 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)
 * 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 &#124; Contribs ] 14:50, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
