Overall: @ Reywas92: Good article. Though, i would prefer for you to add an inline citation at the end of every paragraph before I approve. Onegreatjoke ( talk) 19:14, 22 March 2023 (UTC) Done, thanks! Reywas92 ^Talk 03:01, 23 March 2023 (UTC) Approving. Onegreatjoke ( talk) 19:10, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

@ Reywas92 and Onegreatjoke: I was going to promote but we have something that needs to be corrected. Our hook claims that the tortoise is "endangered". The word endangered does not appear in our article and is also not in any reference that I can find. The closest I can find is the BLM calls the tortoise threatened (ref 15). The USGS makes a distinction between the two. To comply with DYKCRIT#3b we need to add threatened to the article and cite it with the BLm reference or some other RS.

User:Bruxton, I took that from the infobox at desert tortoise where the IUCN calls it "critically endangered", but I've revised the hook and article to match FWS's listing as threatened, thanks. Reywas92 ^Talk 16:37, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
