The lead summarises the article and complies per WP:LEAD, so no issues here
"The Sheep Track Member is the only named sub-unit of the Big Raven Formation." - what exactly is a 'sub unit'? I checked the article's lead and it described it as a stratigraphic unit much like this formation. I noticed the following section describes it as lithologically distinct, so it should be worth defining that here
Linked sub-unit. Members are subdivisions of formations and they're both stratigraphic units. The Sheep Track Member being lithologically distinct from the rest of the Big Raven Formation is evident in the "Age and lithology" section which explains the member consists of trachyte rather than the typical alkali basalt and hawaiite.

"The Big Raven Formation is widespread throughout the MEVC, occurring in Walkout Creek valley and on the Big Raven" - is this referring to the Big Raven Plateau? Needs linking
This is clearly referring to the plateau because it says "plateaus" at the end of the sentence. Maybe "Big Raven" should be moved so it reads "Big Raven plateaus"? Volcanoguy16:00, 6 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
"The Arctic Lake Plateau is a nearly flat upland at the southern end of the MEVC between the Spectrum Range to the east and Mess Creek valley" - missing comma between MEVC and between
"150-square-kilometre (58-square-mile)" - square kilometres is not hyphenated throughout the rest of the article, only here?
That's because it's being used differently than the others. "150-square-kilometre Desolation Lava Field" is grammatically correct, not "150 square kilometres Desolation Lava Field". The hyphens are automatically added when adj=mid is being used in {{Convert}}. Volcanoguy16:00, 6 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Volcanoguy: I apologise for the delay, since I moved house a few days ago I still don't have access to my computer, and had to make do with reviewing this on mobile! Alas a promise is a promise. Regardless, you'll be happy to know I'm passing this article outright. I was nitpicking to an extreme level with the above points - this article is well written, comprehensive and well sourced as expected. It was easy enough for someone like me to understand. Well done. ♦ JAGUAR22:22, 5 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
