• I'll grab it for now and return later. Some preliminary points below. FunkMonk (talk) 23:40, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• There are a lot of duplinks, can be highlighted with the usual script.[1]

Addressed most duplicate links outside of ones in the lede section or cladogram. PrimalMustelid (talk) 23:56, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• A bit of a shame there's no full body restoration? Could perhaps be of another species than the one there's currently a head of.

This is due to the unknown nature of the postcranial anatomy of xiphodonts other than Xiphodon itself, so only the head is constructed. PrimalMustelid (talk) 23:56, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• One of the old figures may look even more interesting for the infobox than the current image there.

I'd rather avoid using old figures in the infobox for the most part unless absolutely necessary. PrimalMustelid (talk) 23:56, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• I've made a Commons category[2], it previously redirected to a plant senior synonym. Could be populated with the other images.

Got it. PrimalMustelid (talk) 23:56, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Strangely, the plant is under the genus Cerastium [3] on Commons. Do we know if that's actually the current name, and its Wikipedia page should be moved there? Then our animal article could lose the parenthesis.

Dichodon the plant genus appears to be valid based on quick searches from recent results in Google Scholar. PrimalMustelid (talk) 23:56, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
