Good job Tom (LT). I 've just read it one time and it really looks fine. Before I go into a detailed review, I got a question for you. Since the article is on human Thymus, I didn't understand why are there sections on "Other animals" and "Society and culture". The latter section is a bit awkward since it consists of only one sentence. Cinadon 36 12:20, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
"Thymectomy may be necessary to treat the disease"and
"Thymectomy is not indicated for the treatment of primary thymic lymphomas. However, a thymic biopsy may be necessary to make the pathologic diagnosis."I am sure it wont be hard to find a ref for these two pieces of information. Cinadon 36 19:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
"Thymic cysts are uncommon lesions, with about 150 cases being reported in scientific literature..."-- Tom (LT) ( talk) 00:46, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
Easily pass all these criteria. I would have used the additional images within the main body of the article, at section Development. But then, there would be too many images there. Cinadon 36 08:00, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
Ok, here are some of my comments on prose. Sorry for moving on too slowly on this GAN. Cinadon 36 08:55, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
Some of this is because of hormones and cytokines secreted by the thymus, including thymulin, thymopoietin, and thymosins.Is it possible to clarify which part(cortex, medulla)/cells are producing these molecules? Cinadon 36 09:03, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
Cells in the thymus can be divided into thymic stromal cells and cells of hematopoietic origin (derived from bone marrow resident hematopoietic stem cells).I cant find a discussion of this sentence in the main body of the article. Cinadon 36 13:22, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Great, passing, thanks Tom (LT) for such a beautiful article. It is not far from FA but that's another story. Wishing you all the best, Cinadon 36 12:59, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
This section is grossly false: "Removal of the thymus in infancy results in often fatal immunodeficiency, because functional T cells have not developed.[2] In older children and adults, which have a functioning lymphatic system with mature T cells also situated in other lymphoid organs, the effect is lesser, and limited to failure to mount immune responses against new antigens."
This is dangerously incorrect since pretty much any major infant heart surgery involves removal of the thymus. These patients go on to live decades. There is no evidence whatsoever that these patients suffer "fatal immunodeficiency".
