Thanks for your article Eocene Okanagan Highlands! A couple notes:
 * The Southern sites include the Princeton Group Allenby Formation sites surrounding Princeton, British Columbia, such as "Nine Mile Creek", "One Mile Creek", "Pleasant Valley", "Thomas Ranch", "Vermilian Bluffs", and "Whipsaw Creek". The most southerly of the Okanagan Highlands lakes, the Klondike Mountain Formation in Northern Ferry County, Washington, include the "Boot Hill site", "Corner Lot site", "Gold Mountain site", "Knob Hill site", and "Mount Elizabeth site". I'm a little confused about the use of lakes here.  Is it a geological term?  Is it referring to ancient lakes no longer extant?
 * I would point to the opening sentence of that section which stars with The majority of the lake deposits are compression fossils in lake bed sediments spanning a 1,000 km transect, which have been grouped informally into "Northern", "Central", and "Southern" sites. However I have clarified by updating lake(s) in the introduction and first sentence of the extent section to "paleolakes".-- Kev min  § 01:20, 21 November 2022 (UTC)


 * The earliest work in south and central British Columbian sites was during exploratory expeditions under the leadership of George Mercer Dawson This introduces a new section.  Could there be something more specific than work here?  Perhaps "geology work" or "geological study"?
 * clarified with the addition of geological.-- Kev min  § 01:20, 21 November 2022 (UTC)


 * the newly devised process of potassium–argon dating to better understand the geochronology of the sites. The first report of P-Ar dating The linked article provides the abbreviation K–Ar dating.
 * indeed, I have corrected to K-Ar-- Kev min  § 01:20, 21 November 2022 (UTC)


 * The term "Okanagan Highlands" for Eocene formations of the region was by Wesley Wehr and Howard Schorn in a 1992 Washington Geology paper Perhaps "was proposed by"?
 * I have added "coined"

Thanks again for this great article! – Reidgreg (talk) 15:40, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
 * MOS:RANGE recommends between X and Y, not between X–Y. However, I think this might make passages a bit cumbersome and it doesn't seem confusing at all.
 * I'm not totally certain what X-Y statements this comment is in reference to? All measurements in the article are generated via the undefined undefined and undefined undefined templates.-- Kev  min  § 01:20, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * This crops up at most of the places where between introduces a range. For example: the highlands are thought to have been between 500-1500 m in elevation.  MOS prefers and to the dash.  This can be accomplished with  which produces:  between 500 and 1500 m. – Reidgreg (talk) 22:33, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
