I have never reviewed an article about a geological formation before, but that's perhaps because few have ever been nominated... FunkMonk (talk) 14:49, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
First, the image layout seems messy, there is no good reason to enlarge all the photos, and one, like the map, could be moved into the taxobox as lead-image to make the rest of the article less crammed. Not sure why that globe should be in the infobox, though, it is not specifically about this formation.
The white space at the bottom doesn't look very good, it should be possible to eliminate it. Some images may have to be removed.
It seems like an oversight that you don't have detailed sections about anything other than fishes. If other organisms are found, they should be given as much weight in the article.
I'm not sure the Indus River image is really that relevant here, especially since it supposedly isn't even important enough to mention it by name in the caption.
Here's a ping, Tisquesusa, in case you didn't see the bot notification of this review. FunkMonk (talk) 01:20, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like the article writer last edited in October and there's been no activity since, so unfortunately this should probably be closed for the time being. Wizardman 22:47, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I'll do it soon. But note the nominator has more nominations up. Something should be done to them. FunkMonk (talk) 22:01, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I really hope Tisquesusa comes back and addresses the issues so that this can be promoted – I very much appreciated someone else working on Colombia articles, and someone knowledgeable and on serious subjects to boot. Richard3120 (talk) 16:29, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
