Thanks for taking up this review. I will get to it tomorrow. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:20, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

• Since the 'Picture galleries' are all of 'Fossil Crinoids', perhaps the headings could be merged.

Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:19, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

• I think each fossil image should have both age/geological period and locality in its caption.

Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:19, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Still some left, and one is called a "fossile".

Done now. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:54, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

• The Evolution section doesn't quite say that crinoids form a clade; the Taxonomy section agrees there's just one class but doesn't show it as the base of the tree (at the top!).

Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:19, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

• The Wright et al "rank-based classification" should be represented as a cladogram. This could then be illustrated with small images from (and replacing) the 'Gallery of the current families'.

I can't do cladograms. See below. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:19, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

OK, I've done it. It's actually not difficult if you do it a little bit at a time, just looks that way! Would be a useful skill...

Thanks! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:54, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

• The labels of the 'Gallery of the current families' says things like "An Antedonidae", but the family names are all plural. We normally says "An Antedonid" (etc). I guess this means writing [[Antedonidae|Antedonid]], or alternatively dropping the "A/An" and just saying "(Antedonidae)".

See below. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:19, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

• We rather need a simple labelled diagram of the basic anatomy.

Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:19, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

• Etymology ought to show the Greek words in Greek text.

Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:19, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

One left.

The source I used did not have the Greek text. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:54, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

• Predation: wikilink predator; and I think the first paragraph could be copy-edited down a bit.

Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:19, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

• In culture should say that St Cuthbert's beads were so named in the middle ages.

Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:19, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Crinoids are very photogenic. I think the article has far too many images and I would like to get rid of the main gallery and some of the images in the Morphology section. If we had a cladogram, we could retain many of these images at thumbnail size, but as mentioned above, cladograms are beyond my level of competence. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:19, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Ah... I see... Sorted.

Well, thank you. That is a great improvement. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:54, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.
3. Broad in its coverage:

	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
	7. Overall assessment.	There is plenty of scope here for filling the many redlinked taxa, but I'm satisfied that the group as a whole is covered to a good standard.
