Very nice work, thanks for the submission. At first glance, I suspect this is very close to GA quality, so you might also want to submit it there.

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?
The majority of the lake deposits are compression fossils in lake bed sediments spanning a 1,000 km (620 mi) 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 DawsonThis introduces a new section. Could there be something more specific than work here? Perhaps "geology work" or "geological study"?
the newly devised process of potassium–argon dating to better understand the geochronology of the sites. The first report of P-Ar datingThe linked article provides the abbreviation K–Ar dating.
The term "Okanagan Highlands" for Eocene formations of the region was by Wesley Wehr and Howard Schorn in a 1992 Washington Geology paperPerhaps "was proposed by"?
Thanks again for this great article! – Reidgreg ( talk) 15:40, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
the highlands are thought to have been between 500–1,500 m (1,600–4,900 ft) in elevation. MOS prefers and to the dash. This can be accomplished with {{ cvt|500|and|1500|m|ft}} which produces: between 500 and 1,500 m (1,600 and 4,900 ft). – Reidgreg ( talk) 22:33, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
