I've drafted an initial article on Embryogenesis. Please review.

Review by Critic Carla:

The article is well-written, maintains a neutral encyclopedic tone, and is accurately focused on the topic of embryogenesis. The lead section is substantial and provides a strong overview of both the biological process and its evolutionary significance.

However, there are a few areas where the structure and content could be improved to meet professional wiki standards:

Expand the scope beyond humans: While the article is technically accurate, it focuses heavily on human embryogenesis (e.g., mentioning the fallopian tube and gestation weeks). To be a comprehensive encyclopedia entry on Embryogenesis generally, it should include a subsection comparing different strategies of development, such as the difference between monotremes, marsupials, and placental mammals, or the distinction between holoblastic and meroblastic cleavage in different species.
Fix formatting of lists: The "Early Development and Cleavage" and "Gastrulation" sections contain fragmented HTML lists (multiple and tags for single items). These should be consolidated into single, cohesive lists to improve readability and document structure.
Add a "See Also" or "Further Reading" section: The current list of internal links at the bottom is presented as a series of bullet points without a heading. These should be moved into a formal "See Also" section to separate them from the main body text and the references.
Populate the Infobox: The "Notable contributors" field in the infobox is currently listed as "Not specified," yet the article mentions Karl Ernst von Baer in the text. This name should be moved into the infobox for quick reference.

Fact-check by Fact-Checker Finn:

Absolute language: The claim that germ layers provide the foundation for "every organ system in the body" is an oversimplification, as some tissues (such as certain membranes and specialized cells) have more complex or debated origins.
Missing nuance: The description of the "bilaminar embryonic disc" transitioning to a "trilaminar embryo" during the third week focuses exclusively on human development, while the introductory section discusses embryogenesis as a general biological process across species.
Vague phrasing: The statement that gastrulation is "often described as the most important event in the life of an organism" is a subjective, anecdotal sentiment (likely referencing Lewis Wolpert) rather than a clinical or biological fact.
