Terminology seemed inconsistent to me - why refer to the US sections when the next sentence expressly stated that the Canadian sections had significant differences in definition? Insert your link by all means, but not just there.
Numbering of individual sections is diplayed incorrectly. Section number 1 is the Northeast corner section in every Township. They then number 2,3,4,5,6 to the west, 7,8,9,10,11,12, to the east aternatively until Section 36 is in the Southeast corner.

From my understanding the labelling of townships in the first diagram (and the caption) are incorrect. The 4th Base line should be between the 12th and 13th townships.
List of Dominion Land Surveyors, or at least a category of people who have held that title/certification. has occurred to me before; just a side-split from you working on that, thought I'd mention it...sort of a Can-bio subproject...likewise the "freightmen" or as the BC/PacNW term was "expressmen" who were more reliable, adn more trustworthy, than the local contractees for the Royal Mail; and were known to get official communications between San Francisco and Victoria and Barkerville faster than the Royal Navy could provide; they relied on steamer service, and between Hugh Nelson and Frank Barnard therein lies a tale...the Dominion Land Surveyors are in teh same category as these guys, likewise teh Wilkes Expedition and teh associated Boundary Commission...."bush professions" akin to the bush pilots....it's been observed that Frank Swannell's career, like those of other men of his generation and environment, bridged the era of surveying from mule trains bushwhacked through jungle to the alpine, over and over and over, through to that of aerial photography; Pretty sure he was DLS....lots of placenames in BCGNIS btw are people who were DLS....

Gives good background information and immediately informs you that it is the largest scale land survey system. Gives precise measurements on the land that was surveyed, gives information on why it the DLS was created: for measuring out land for agricultural purposes and industrial buildings. Talks about how each land survey was different and gives a brief description of each one and how each one focused on a specific plot of land. Has information cited and follows the citation guide already in place. Adequate use of citations; neither overusing nor underusing them which makes you credible.
I wonder if it’s possible to add more to the description about the 5 land surveys. First two are brief but give enough information to fill in the spots while the explanation of the last three does not give adequate information to how important and/or why they were only used a few times. Also try explaining why Saskatchewan and Manitoba still use these methods of land surveying. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allleague1 ( talk • contribs) 20:59, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
I like that the amount of writing that you did for the history portion of this article has the perfect amount of sources for it. All of the writing is spaced out suitably which makes it easier for someone to read. In my opinion, it would be helpful to link to a few more Wikipedia articles throughout your writing to help when someone doesn’t know what something is or means. According to our project, the article will still need to be expanded somewhat more. Overall, the article is well written and organized in an understandable way. Good job! jvzee ( talk) 16:51, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
