Peer Review
I really enjoyed the structure you used to set up this article, and how you started with very straight forward descriptions of the area and site, and used that set-up to lead into discussion of the hypotheses surrounding the research being done. Also, good job with adding the map to help readers put the location of the site into perspective.

One thing you should take a look at are your Notes and References sections. Maybe I was just looking at it wrong, but it seemed that your in texts citations were linked to the Notes section and not the References section.

I noticed that you mention a group known as the Mafa a few times throughout your article. I think it might add to the readers understanding of the situation at this site if you gave a little more background on who they are and why they are important in discussing the research being done there.

I like that you had a section about UNESCO World Heritage status, but if possible I think you should expand on this. When I read that little blurb, it made me wonder what exactly about this site would put it on this list, and why it is only tentatively on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list as opposed to definitely on the list.

Peer Review Part 2
Really nice work. I really liked the flow of the article. The topic was really interesting to learn about. The map on the side was also really nicely done and added nicely to the article.

First of all, I'm a little confused by the notes and references part. I'm not sure what the difference is. Maybe there is a difference but I would maybe make the difference more clear to make sure that others don't get confused.

Second, I'm wondering if there is more known about the people that live in this region. I know you mention the Mafa but is there anything else about the ancient peoples and whether or not they are linked to the current Mafa. I think that would be interesting to discuss as well.

Finally, Is there more to the UNESCO Heritage status of this site or is that it. I'm wondering if there is more information that you can put for that in the page. Also, would it be nice to add that in the beginning or near the beginning so it catches peoples attention.

Great job! I really like it! Keep up the good work!

Article feedback
Excellent work on your additions to the Diy-Gid-Biy article. Try to have the references you add to the article in the appropriate format, with the name of the author, publisher, and doi if available. The training module Sources and Citations will give you more information about citations and citation format. Please let me know if you have any questions.
