I'll be reviewing this soon. AryKun (talk) 02:12, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"in New Mexico which developed in the Plains of San Agustín during the Pleistocene, as a pluvial lake during glacial periods."→ "in New Mexico which developed as a pluvial lake in the Plains of San Agustín during glacial periods during the Pleistocene"
Applied a variation. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 19:36, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"while during its drying it split into several separate lakes" → " and split into several separate lakes while drying out"
Done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 19:36, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see a need to give the acronym for Last Glacial Maximum as it isn't mentioned again in the lead.
It is mentioned elsewhere in the article however. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 19:36, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"At highstand" → "During its highstand" Also, highstand should be linked here
Done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 19:36, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"300 metres (980 ft) long drill core" → Should be metre, not metres.
Sorry, but I don't know how to change this. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 19:36, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
" made into the" → "of the"
Applied a variation. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 19:36, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"Lakes may have existed" → Should the may be removed?
No; it's not settled into stone. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 19:36, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"By 11,300-10,200 years ago, it" → Clarify what the "it" is.
Done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 19:36, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"when it was dropping" → "when it was shrinking"
Done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 19:36, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Pine, spruce, Pleistocene are dublinked.
Will do so soon. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 19:36, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The list of mammals is just a sea of blue at the moment, perhaps you could add the scientific names to stagger it out?
I don't think that would really help. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 19:36, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I feel like the lead could be bulked up, as it doesn't quite cover the whole article.
Remind me, what other things could be mentioned? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 19:36, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I'll be passing. AryKun (talk) 02:14, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
