Lourinha Formation paleobiota



Hi Capra. I am currently working on an illustration of the Lourinha Formation including the dinosaurs ''Dinheirosaurus lourinhanensis ↗'', ''Torvosaurus gurneyi ↗'', ''Allosaurus europaeus ↗'', ''Draconyx loureiroi ↗'', and ''Lusotitan atalaiensis ↗''. I am not asking for your critique on this, as I will post it on the image review page once the pencil version is done, but I was wondering what other organisms (plants, mammals, other dinosaurs) should be added to the image. An extremely bad image of this so far can be found here ↗ (note, the actual image is reversed). The ''Lusotitan'' and ''Draconyx'', in successive order from right closer to left farther (on the real image). Are there any taxa to add to the image, or any minor comments at this stage? Just wondering, but is a collaboration between us on the Lourinha page and taxa possible, although noting that I will be on vacation from the 13th to the 21st, because some genera, like ''Dinheirosaurus ↗'', are actually quite close to being good articles soon? IJReid (talk) 02:37, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
:Ah, I have now also put online a newer version of my current illustration, although the resolution is still crappy. The link is here ↗. IJReid (talk) 02:45, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

:Ok. As for notes on the current state, perhaps adding one or two more ''Lusotitan ↗'' behind the current one, representing a small herd, as opposed to a loner. Adding another ''Draconyx ↗'' with the current one as well. The only other thing I would think to change about the current creatures would be that the living ''Torvosaurus ↗'' would be looking up at the ''Dinheirosaurus ↗'' as opposed to tending to it's dead/dying relative (Sibling? Parent? Mate?). As for other taxa, I'd try not to overcrowd the image, so maybe some ''Dryosaurus ↗'', and a ''Miragaia ↗'' or ''Dacentrurus ↗''. Also, it may be odd to have the ''Allosaurus ↗'' and ''Torvosaurus'' attacking the same sauropod, so maybe have the ''Allosaurus'' attacking ''Dryosaurus'' or ''Miragaia''/''Dacentrurus'' mentioned above. Just some ideas thought. As for non-dinosaurs and plants, I've not gotten to the point of researching Lourinha Formation flora or non-dinosaur fauna yet, so I'm not sure. I'll have to get back to you on that, thought ferns and generic conifers are a safe bet for now.

:As for collaboration, I'm open to the idea. Perhaps you could more work on the taxa pages, to avoid any edit conflicts. First thing that needs attending to, I don't think the ''Richardoestesia ↗'' page makes any mention that Jurassic Portuguese material from various formations has been assigned to it, so make mention of that, thought note that the identification is tentative and the teeth probably don't belong to it but an unknown relative. Don't bother with the ''Deltapodus ↗'' page thought, I plan on re-doing (i.e. essentially writing.) that page after I finish with Lourinha anyway. All references in the article are open access papers except 1 and 3, and the addtional references section, so there should be plenty of sources to go off of. Thought if you can find any more open access refs for ''Lusotitan'' or ''Lourinhasaurus ↗'' that would be greatly appreciated.

:Also, FYI, I've had a username change from Capra walie to Lusotitan.

:Thanks. Lusotitan (talk) 14:28, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

::Hi again Luso. I have updated the image again, and again, when using my webcam the image appeared with a crappy resolution. The link is here ↗. I have taken some of your requests into consideration, and have some comments on them. I haven't yet added more ''Lusotitan'', ''Draconyx'', or other ornithischians, but I think the Ornithischians will be in a herd together, as suggested by the paired footprints of ornithopods and stegosaurs. I think I will keep the theropods as they are, because what if the ''Allosaurus'' was attacking the ''Dinheirosaurus'', which made the ''Dinheirosaurus'' rear up, an then the sauropod mistook some passing ''Torvosaurus'' as attacking, so it squished one of them. The ''Torvosaurus'' doesn't want to become aggressive with the ''Dinheirosaurus'', as the ''Allosaurus'' is stronger, more powerful, larger, and bulkier than it, and it wouldn't end well for the ''Torvosaurus''. On the left side of my image is a broken tree trunk with a pterosaur walking along it. I will say the pterosaur is ''Harpactognathus'', which is found in the Morrison, so it is possible its range included Portugal. The pterosaur will be waiting for a partially exposed lizard to come fully out of the log to eat it. I have also added another tree that is possible to have existed in the Lourinha Formation behind the will be herd of ornithischians. I will start our collaboration as soon as the pencil image is done and I have completed User:Reid,iain james/Draft:Parasaurolophus, which you can help on as well. Bye for now, IJReid (talk) 15:06, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

:::''Torvosaurus ↗ guryeni'' is actually larger then ''Allosaurus ↗ europaeus'', but I assume these are not full grown then, so no problem I guess. However, I have thought of, not a problem, but an idea. Replacing the ''Dinheirosaurus ↗'' with a ''Zby ↗''. As it is currently, all of the fauna have very close relatives in the Morrison. And although it is correct the two formations are very similar, including in fauna, there are differences. The two big faunal differences that come to mind are the lack of low browsing sauropods (Maybe. Complicated issue.) and the presence of a turiasaur. Having a ''Miragaia ↗'' and ''Zby'' will do a great job at representing that the formation is unique. Just an idea.Lusotitan (talk) 16:53, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Dinosaur articles as part of Wikiproject Paleontology



Hi Lusotitan, I have seen you have removed the wikiproject Paleontology banner from Neovenator ↗ talk page, however pretty much every dinosaur article has both a dual wikiproject dinosaurs and paleontology on the talk page (Baryonyx ↗ is the only one I can find that only has wikiproject dinosaurs for whatever reason), I find it a bit bizarre to just remove it from the neovenator article, given that the vast majority of articles have both. Thus I have reverted your decision for the meantime. If dinosaurs are going have their wikiproject paleontology banners removed, and thus be excised from the scope of wikiproject paleontology this is quite a huge change and is going have to be discussed on the wikiproject paleontology talk page. Kind regards Hemiauchenia (talk) 21:39, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
:It's already a guideline over on the WikiProject page, after being discussed previously. The practice just never got properly implemented. Quoting the WikiProject page:

:"Since there is already a dedicated palaeontology project, only dinosaur articles that are important to the subject of paleontology in general should be tagged by that project, since all dinosaur articles are already paleontology articles by default."
:'''''<span style="color:#00FF83">Luso</span><span style="color:#FF7178">titan</span>''''' (Talk ↗ <nowiki>|</nowiki> Contributions ↗) 22:06, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

:: Do you have a direct link the quote and discussion? How does one define "important to the subject of paleontology in general"? That's really vague, does that only apply to taxa important to the development of paleontology in general, like Megalosaurus ↗ and Iguanodon ↗? Iconic taxa like Tyrannosaurus ↗ and Triceratops ↗?. Or important 'transitional' fossils like Archaeopteryx ↗ and Microraptor ↗?. If this is going to be done, "important to the subject of paleontology in general" needs to be specifically defined by community consensus on the wikiproject paleontology talk page, the vagueness of the criteria is probably why it wasn't done previously. Hemiauchenia (talk) 22:16, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

:: I've found the link to the quote, but that is on the wikiproject dinosaur page, whether or not a page is part of wikiproject paleontology should only ultimately be the result of wikiproject paleontology guidelines, what the wikiproject dinosaur page says is pretty much irrelevant to that. If wikiproject paleontology links are going to be removed from dinosaur articles this needs to be discussed with wikiproject paleontology members on their project talk page Hemiauchenia (talk) 22:35, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
:::Well, it's how we treat other things. Everyone agrees putting the "Dinosaurs" category on ''Neovenator ↗'' would be excessive, since there's already a carcharodontosaurids category we put it in. That automatically also categorizes it as a dinosaur, since all carcharodontosaurids are dinosaurs. Likewise, every article in WikiProject Dinosaurs falls under paleontology since WikiProject Dinosaurs is within WikiProject Paleontology. If we need to ask WikiProject Paleontology whether we can have them excluded, why not ask WikiProject Geology? That's the exact same thing, we've just moved it up a layer.

:::Regarding the discussion, it seems the discussion on it on the WikiProject Dinosaurs talkpage wasn't archived properly, I can only find it by looking at the editing history.'''''<span style="color:#00FF83">Luso</span><span style="color:#FF7178">titan</span>''''' (Talk ↗ <nowiki>|</nowiki> Contributions ↗) 22:48, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

:::: You haven't answered my question. What does "important to the subject of paleontology in general" mean in your opinion? you've just made it out like that wikiproject paleontology should be removed from all dinosaur articles, which is not what the original quote implied. The wikiprojects =/= categories, and having another wikiproject in the talk page does not significantly clutter it. like adding neovenator directly to the dinosaur category would. incidentally the category "dinosaurs" from my brief look at it seems like a wastebasket anyway, and it's subcategory list of dinosaur genera, and dinosaurs by continent are an absolute mess with bizzarely small list of dinosaur taxa and a smaller subcategory of monotypic dinosaur genera despite virtually all dinosaur genera being monotypic. anyways wikiproject dinosaurs is not within wikiproject paleontology, if it was it would be a taskforce. Wikiproject paleontology in turn is not part of wikiproject geology. they are all in fact sister projects. It just seems weird to do it to just ''Neovenator ↗'', when there is nothing about ''Neovenator'' in particular that warrants it being removed from wikiproject paleontology over hundreds of other dinosaur articles. If you are going to do this you'd need to be consistent and remove it from hundreds of other dinosaur articles which should not be done unilaterally, but instead discussed with other users on the wikiproject paleontology talkpage, paging FunkMonk for discussion. Hemiauchenia (talk) 23:30, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
:::::I wasn't singling out ''Neovenator ↗''. I happened to be on its talk page and decided to enforce the rule. I do a similar thing with updating the portal link templates at the bottom of every dinosaur page; instead of taking the huge timesink to do it to every page at once, systematically, just do it when I happen to be editing anyways.

::::::What I meant back during the dfiscussion and in the guideline is that dinosaur articles are already inherently palaeontology articles. So a dinosaur article doens't need to be tagged with the palaeo project if it isn't somehow important to palaentology in genera. Megalosaurus ↗ is important to the history of palaeontology, whereas say, Mojoceratops ↗, isn't really. But there are of course borderline cases. FunkMonk (talk) 22:05, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

I just wanted to ask why it's unncessary to add both parents. Pachyrostra is lower than Pachyrhinosaurini would'nt that be important to indicate? (User talk: Richard.sutt))Richard.sutt (talk) 20:20, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
:As long as Pachyrostra is displayed readers can click on the link to see that groups parents. It also saves the taxonboxes from taking up an unreasonable amount of vertical space. '''IJReid'''&nbsp;<sup><small>{<nowiki />{T - C ↗ - D ↗ - R ↗}<nowiki />}</small></sup> 14:35, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Speciesbox and monotypic genera



Replying here to not further derail the discussion at WP:TOL. I'm not sure what you're seeing with ''Saurophaganax ↗''. Are you viewing it in mobile mode? For me, in non-mobile view, the genus, species, and binomial lines are bold and not clickable, and putting the cursor on them does nothing. In mobile mode, the genus is not bolded, and it kind of acts like a link; while I can't click on it, when I put the cursor on it, it gets underlined like links do. Is that what you're talking about? Plantdrew (talk) 18:38, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
:I'm not in mobile mode but that it what it's displaying on my end. '''''<span style="color:#00FF83">Luso</span><span style="color:#FF7178">titan</span>''''' (Talk ↗ <nowiki>|</nowiki> Contributions ↗) 18:41, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

::Huh. I'm using Firefox 61. It is getting underlined when you put the cursor on it? There does seem to be some sort of problem with self-links in mobile mode (so far I've only tested with going to the mobile page on a desktop computer with Firefox). I'm finding that any self-link (not just in taxoboxes) is not bold and gets underlined when the cursor is placed on it in mobile mode. Of course, there really aren't very many self-links on Wikipedia; taxoboxes for monotypic taxa are one of the few places they show up. Plantdrew (talk) 18:51, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Your edits on ''Irritator''



Thanks for your recent editshttps://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Irritator&type=revision&diff=860325075&oldid=859990346 ↗ to the ''Irritator ↗'' article! I'd noticed a few of those issues before, but was a bit reluctant/unsure of how to fix them. Also yeah, I have GA and FA plans for this article in light of the Museu Nacional fire. FunkMonk is doing the same with ''Thalassodromeus ↗'', which hails from the same formation as ''Irritator'', you might remember from our discussion at the WikiProject Palaeontology pagehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Palaeontology#National_Museum_of_Brazil_fire ↗. There's still a lot of work left to do though if it's going to be comprehensive enough for FA, I just got my hands on the ''Angaturama'' paper so its description will be filled in pretty soon. And of course there's the postcranial specimens as well, which Machado and Kellner have described in various papers. <span style="font-family: Garamond; background:#ffffff; color:red; padding:2px;">▼PσlєοGєєк</span><span style="background:#000000; color:red; padding:2px; font-family: Tw Cen MT;">ƧɊƲΔƦΣƉ▼</span> 22:23, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Take part in a survey



Hi Lusotitan

We're working to measure the value of Wikipedia in economic terms ↗. We want to ask you some questions about how '''you''' value being able to edit Wikipedia.

Our survey should take about 10-15 minutes of your time. We hope that you will enjoy it and find the questions interesting. All answers will be kept strictly confidential and will be anonymized before the aggregate results are published. Regretfully, we can only accept responses from people who live in the US due to restrictions in our grant-based funding.

As a reward for your participation, we will randomly pick 1 out of every 5 participants and give them $25 worth of goods of their choice from the Wikipedia store ↗ (e.g. Wikipedia themed t-shirts). Note that we can only reward you if you are based in the US.

Deinonychosauria



Hi, I didn't link Deinonychosauria ↗ in Xixiasaurus ↗ before because it is now a redirect to Dromaeosauridae ↗. But thinking about this, making it a redirect was probably not sound in the first place, since the term still seems to be used by some researchers. Furthermore, I don't even think Dromaeosauridae would be the right place to redirect it... Should it maybe be restored? FunkMonk (talk) 03:23, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
:Well, it still redirects to a subsection on the topic, but yes, it feels out of place there. Makes more sense to direct it to the relationships section of Paraves ↗ or give it a short page explaining the model and its validity.

{{Bq|Nice work; thanks for creating this!

Do note that it's generally a good idea to have more than one source on any page; in this case, I've added a reference to the Wiener Zeitung ↗ and expanded the article a tiny bit using that source.

Map size


I made it equal with the taxobox on my screen resolution and size, but apparently that varies quite a bit. Would be nice to automate that, but I don't know how that would work. Tisquesusa (talk) 17:26, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Dubious genera



The automated taxobox system doesn't support dubious genera with names written with ".."; for example it can't at present abbreviate "''Tanius''" to "''T.''" So I think a manual taxobox is best at ''"Tanius" laiyangensis ↗''. Peter coxhead (talk) 21:47, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
:Addendum: there is another way of handling questionable generic assignments, by using ? rather than ".." – see ''Tortrix? destructus ↗''. This method is supported by the automated taxobox system. Peter coxhead (talk) 21:58, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

About :Galleonosaurus ↗



Hi Lusotitan,<br>
I am puzzled why you removed references from BBC News ↗ and ABC News (Australia) ↗ from that article in this edit ↗. They are without doubt reliable sources ↗.<br>
Given that this species and its genus was only recently described ↗, it would appear to me that this might be a DYK ↗ candidate, with those references to support it.<br>
Please let me know if I can assist you in any way about improving the English language Wikipedia ↗.<br>
Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 09:51, 16 March 2019 (UTC) <br>
:Press releases are not reliable at all when it comes to palaeontology, anything that doesn't butcher the ideas of the given paper is a rare surprise. They should be avoided unless there is some information about the discovery or history that the literature is unable to provide. When the article can be sourced only with peer reviewed papers written by experts and not repurposes of that exact same source written by someone with no idea what they're talking about, that's ideal, and it's the case here. Now, both this articles look pretty fine, there's no grave errors; but there's no information that can't be gleaned from the far more reliable source of the paper which the articles are merely re-statements of to begin with. There's no need for them. If you want to argue pointless news sources should be used in dinosaur articles against years of precedence, go argue it at the talk for WP:DINO ↗.

Your edit on Tanis (fossil site) ↗



I reverted this addition ↗ - sorry.

The reason is, that this is an article on the site. It is not a biographical article on its discoverer, any more than the article on Chicxulub is an article on its discoverer and all that's said about him in the media. There's a lot to write, and this is not really stuff that belongs.

The other problem is that the New Yorker is a single source. It has a somewhat dramatic approach which may mean its coverage isn't exactly balanced - but we don't have good other sources for significant views on the matters you added, which they have claimed, to compare with. And if we did, we'd put them in a BLP, not here - and then only if he himself becomes notable which is not yet clear. Last, as it has a negative tone, the concerns about poorly sourced negative BLPs are relevant.

For all these reasons, I've removed the text, which is virtually a rehash of the New Yorker's description. It may be that we will have an article on him. But it won't be this one.

When he becomes notable, and we have other good sources, you might want to create it :) FT2 ↗&nbsp;<sup><span style="font-style:italic">(Talk ↗&nbsp;|&nbsp;email ↗)</span></sup> 02:02, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
:If you feel this is not important than his whole section should be removed, it's for the most part even less important. The Museum described is directly relevant and this reflects on his reputation as a palaeontologist, which is rather important. Also, I included a second source, ScienceMag, which featured a quote not present in the New Yorker article, so it's not just coming from them (something I know already since I've heard of controversy surrounding him before, but that's irrelevant). Also, why the image removal? It's relevant to the adjacent text and there's nothing else to put there.

;<big>Fundamental changes being discussed at WikiProject Biology ↗</big>
On 23 May, user {{noping|Prometheus720}} created a talk page post, "Revamp of Wikiproject Biology--Who is In?" ↗. In the days since, WP:BIOL has been bustling with activity, with over a dozen editors weighing in on this discussion, as well as several others that have subsequently spawned. An undercurrent of thought is that WP:BIOL has too many subprojects, preventing editors from easily interacting and stopping a "critical mass" of collaboration and engagement. Many mergers and consolidations of subprojects have been tentatively listed, with a consolidation of WikiProjects Genetics ↗ + Molecular and Cell Biology ↗ + Computational Biology ↗ + Biophysics ↗ currently in discussion. Other ideas being aired include updating old participants lists, redesigning project pages to make them more user-friendly, and clearly identifying long- and short-term goals.

;<big>Editor Spotlight: These editors want you to write about dinosaurs</big>
Editors {{noping|FunkMonk}} and {{noping|Jens Lallensack}} had a very fruitful month, collaborating to bring two dinosaur articles to GA ↗ and then nominating them both for FA ↗. They graciously decided to answer some questions for the first ToL Editor Spotlight, giving insight to their successful collaborations, explaining why you should collaborate with them, and also sharing some tidbits about their lives off-Wikipedia.

1) Enwebb: How long have you two been collaborating on articles?
2) Enwebb: Why dinosaurs?
3) Enwebb: Why should other editors join you in writing articles related to paleontology? Are you looking to attract new editors, or draw in experienced editors from other areas of Wikipedia?

4) Enwebb: Between the two of you, you have over 300 GA reviews. FunkMonk, you have over 250 of those. What keeps you coming back to review more articles?

5) Enwebb: What are your editing preferences? Any scripts or gadgets you find invaluable?
6) Enwebb: What would surprise the ToL community to learn about your life off-wiki?

;<big>Spineless editors overwhelmed by stubs</big>

Within the Tree of Life and its many subprojects, there is an abundance of stubs. Welcome to Wikipedia, what's new, right? However, based on all wikiprojects listed (just over two thousand), the Tree of Life project is worse off in average article quality than most. Based on the concept of relative WikiWork (the average number of "steps" needed to have a project consisting of all featured articles (FAs), where stub status → FA consists of six steps), only seven projects within the ToL have an average rating of "start class" or better. Many projects, particularly those involving invertebrates, hover at an average article quality slightly better than a stub. With relative WikiWorks of 5.98 each, WikiProject Lepidoptera and WikiProject Beetles have the highest relative WikiWork of any project. Given that invertebrates are incredibly speciose, it may not surprise you that many articles about them are lower quality. WikiProject Beetles, for example, has over 20 times more articles than WikiProject Cats. Wikipedia will always be incomplete ↗, so we should take our relatively low WikiWork as motivation to write more articles that are also better in quality.

;<big>Editor Spotlight: Showing love to misfit taxa</big>
We're joined for this month's Editor Spotlight by {{noping|NessieVL}}, a long-time contributor who lists themselves as a member of WikiProject Fungus ↗, WikiProject Algae ↗, and WikiProject Cephalopods ↗.

1) Enwebb: How did you come to edit articles about organisms and taxonomic groups?

2) Enwebb: Many editors in the ToL are highly specialized on a group of taxa. A look at your recently created articles includes much diversity, though, with viruses, bacteria, algae, and cnidarians all represented&mdash;are there any commonalities for the articles you work on? Would you say you're particularly interested in certain groups?

:My favorite clades though, It's hard to pick for a dilettante like me. I like working on virus taxonomy, but I can't think of a specific virus species that I am awed by. Maybe ''Tulip breaking virus ↗'' for teaching us economics or ''Variola virus ↗'' for having so many {{cl|Smallpox deities|smallpox deities}}, one of which ↗ was popularly sung about by Desi Arnaz ↗ and then inspired the name of a cartoon character ↗ who was then misremembered and then turned into a nickname for Howard Stern's producer Gary Dell'Abate ↗. Sorry, really had to share that chain, but for a species that's not a staple food it probably has the most deities. But anyway, for having the most species that wow me, I love a good fungus or algae, but that often is led by my stomach. Also why I seem to research so many plant articles. You can't eat siphonophores, at least I don't, but they are fascinating with their federalist colonies of zooid ↗s. Bats are all amazing, but the task force seems to have done so much I feel the oomycetes and slime moulds need more love. Same thing with dinosaurs (I'm team ''Therizinosaurus ↗'' though). But honestly, every species has that one moment in the research where you just go, wow, that's so interesting. For instance, I loved discovering that the picture-winged fly (''Delphinia picta ↗'') has a mating dance that involves blowing bubbles. Now I keep expecting them to show me when they land on my arm, but no such luck yet.

3) Enwebb: I noticed that many of your recent edits utilize the script Rater, which aids in quickly reassessing the quality and importance of an article. Why is it important to update talk page assessments of articles? I also noticed that the quality rating you assign often aligns with ORES, a script that uses machine-learning to predict article quality. Coincidence?

4) Enwebb: What, if anything, can ToL and its subprojects do to better support collaboration and coordination among editors? How can we improve?

5) Enwebb: What would surprise the ToL community to learn about your life off-Wikipedia?

|-
|
The WikiCup ↗, an annual editing competition, is now in its fourth round. Casliber, consistent participant since 2010 and winner in 2016, is currently dominating Group A with 601 points. Largely responsible is the successful Featured Article nomination of Masked booby ↗. The other remaining Tree of Life participant, Enwebb, is participating in her first ever WikiCup. In this round, she has a grand total of...5 points. But with the recent Featured Article nomination of Megabat ↗, she stands to gain 600 points if successful. As it stands, though, it appears that at least one ToL editor is headed to the fifth and final round of 8 contestants, which begins September 1.

Thus far, all participants in the WikiCup have generated 17 Featured Articles, 116 Good Articles, 16 Featured Lists, and 57 Featured Pictures. The Good Article Nominations backlog has been reduced as well, with 286 Good Article Reviews.

|-

For this month's editor spotlight we're joined by {{noping|Charlesjsharp}}, a longtime contributor to Wikimedia Commons with a plethora of featured pictures on English Wikipedia.<br>

1) Starsandwhales: How long have you been editing Wikipedia, and how did you get interested? How did you begin your journey of photographing wildlife? <br>

:I’d got my first camera aged eight and went on my first safari in the Kruger Park, South Africa in 1970. I was hooked. I switched to digital in 2004, but didn’t buy any high-end lenses till 2014. Such a shame that hundreds of great photos I took before then look so dreadful by today’s quality standards. My 100-400mm lens transformed mammal and bird photography opportunities and when I got my 100mm macro lens in 2016, the whole new world of insects was open for business.
thumb|Pied kingfisher eating a chick, photographed by Charlesjsharp ↗
2) S&W: Over the years, you've taken photos of many different organisms from birds to insects to big cats; you have an extensive list of favorite images ↗. Which animals have been the most exciting for you to photograph? <br>


:But photographing animal behaviour is the most exciting and challenging. There’s usually movement and it all happens so fast, like when a bird captures its prey ↗. Every now and then you snap something really unusual – like the cannibal kingfisher ↗

3) S&W: Many articles under ToL have requests for people to add images that can go unanswered. What can the community do to improve the coverage of different organisms on Wikipedia, especially when it comes to images? <br>

:Recently, some thoughtless editor added a ‘caption’ box to Commons. A waste of time. The image title should act as the caption.<br>
:I applied for a grant to attend Wikimania, but was unsuccessful. Not much can happen without some funding to kickstart and then drive improvements forward.<br>Here was my response to the question: "How can we increase the quality and diversity of images being uploaded and, in particular, improve the Featured Picture, Quality Image and Valued Image projects?"<br>
thumb|Panther chameleon male, photographed by Charlesjsharp ↗
::1. Work together on pre-defined projects to develop a team spirit that will help us develop a set of shared values<br>
::2. Through brainstorming, Identify what we need to do to improve the quality and diversity of images being uploaded and, in particular, identify what we need to do to improve the credibility of the Featured Picture, Quality Image and Valued Image projects<br>
::3. By sharing our photographic skills, find ways to share skills with the community. Knowledge transfer is time-consuming and we need to set limited objectives and realistic time frames. This will require compromise as individuals have to listen and find ways to agree. This is going to be much easier through face-to-face meetings<br>
::3. Identify what we need to do to improve the quality and diversity of images being uploaded (diversity of contributor and diversity in subject) and, in particular, identify what we need to do to improve the credibility of the Featured Picture, Quality Image and Valued Image projects<br>
::4. Spend more time talking about values and knowledge transfer than sharing photography tips amongst delegates, then getting all delegates to agree to DO SOMETHING WHEN THEY GET HOME to take things forward.

4) S&W: What advice would you give to people new to photographing wildlife? <br>

5) S&W: What would the Tree of Life community be surprised to learn about your life off-wiki?
<br>

Why do you delete every major edit I do?



Is pretty understandable if my edits were bandalism, I was only trying to expand stubs, thats what the page says, ''This article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by '''expanding it'''.
Honestly it feels like only extended users ''can'' do edits, while new users can not, even if you have valid sources.--PaleoNeolitic (talk) 02:46, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

What do you think of this and how can we get the page reviewed?

thumb|''WikiJournal of Science'' is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal ↗
thumb|One publishing pipeline for ''WikiJSci'' ↗
''Guest column by Thomas Shafee ({{noping|Evolution and evolvability}}), Editor in Chief of ''WikiJournal of Science''


The Tree of Life WikiProject and its sprawling phylogeny of daughter projects is one of the largest and most active communities in Wikipedia. It encompasses approximately 570 Featured Articles ↗ and well over a thousand Good Articles ↗ (second only to military history). The ''WikiJournal of Science ↗'' (one of three current journals in the user group ↗) has a few aims that may closely align with the interests of the ToL community.

;Review of existing articles
Firstly, ''WikiJSci'' can be a complementary system for FA review (getting external review, input, and validity). When an Wikipedia article is nominated (via WP:JAN ↗), journal editors go out to non-Wikipedian academics and researchers who have published on the subject on the last five years and invite them to give feedback comments (e.g. Peripatric speciation ↗ and ''Baryonyx'' ↗). The resulting changes can then be integrated back into the Wikipedia article.

;Attracting new articles and contributors
Getting more editors involved in Wikipedia is always a high priority. ''WikiJSci'' can also be a way to encourage new people to contribute articles (especially on missing/stub/start topics). An example of an article that was written from scratch by a group of non-Wikipedians is ''Teladorsagia circumcincta'' ↗. This not only resulted in a new Wikipedia page on an underdeveloped topic, but introduced the idea of Wikimedia contribution to a group of people who had previously never considered it.

;Images, videos, sound and galleries
The journal can be a way to get multimedia content reviewed or encourage contribution. The same approach could be easily adapted to sounds (e.g. frog mating calls) or videos (e.g. starfish feet motion). It also allows for tracking of those images in new articles via Altmetric (this example ↗ has >200, which is bananas). There aren't any biology examples in ''WikiJSci'' yet, but the sister medical journal has published a few summary diagrams, photography, and image galleries. Examples include this gallery by Blausen Medical ↗ or the diagram of cell disassembly during apoptosis ↗.

;Other projects
For those interested in other Wikimedia sister projects, there's also broad scope for interactions with the WikiJournals. Perhaps peer reviewed teaching resources could be useful to sit alongside sets of Wikipedia articles and be integrated into Wikiversity courses (like this ↗ or this ↗)? Can sections of Wikidata & Wikispecies be peer reviewed? What are the potential avenues for integration with WikiCite ↗, WikiFactMine ↗, Scholia ↗, etc.? Currently, ''WikiJSci'' is aiming to be very flexible and try out different formats so long as they can be externally peer reviewed.

For more info, see the 2019-06-30 ''Signpost'' article ↗ and the current sister project proposal ↗.

| <center><big><strong>Editor spotlight: Cwmhiraeth </strong></big></center>
|-
|
1) ''Enwebb'': You're very prolific with DYKs, with over 2,000 nominations credited (in fact, I'll highlight which DYK nominations this month were yours below). What made you become so involved in this part of Wikipedia? Why should Tree of Life editors nominate articles for DYK?

:''Cwmhiraeth'': I became aware of the WikiCup in 2012 and entered the contest. The scoring structure seemed to me to favour DYKs, and I went to considerable trouble to identify short stubs that could be expanded into qualifying start class articles with multiple bonus points. Casliber introduced me to preparing articles for FAC and Sasata helped me with my first solo FA. I won the WikiCup that year, and repeated that success the following year, after which the Cup got a bit more competitive. By that time, nominating articles for DYK was an ingrained habit, and I have continued doing so ever since, but at a rather slower rate. I do more work behind the scenes at DYK now, reviewing other people's nominations in excess of my QPQ requirement, and building prep sets ready to go on the main page, and I retired from competing in the WikiCup and became a judge instead. I would encourage ToL editors to nominate suitable articles for DYK because it gives great satisfaction to know that hundreds or even thousands of people have appreciated your work, and it provides a foil for the biographies and historical articles that predominate there.

2) ''Enwebb'': I noticed that your DYK nominations reflect a diverse array of flora and fauna, from trees, marine invertebrates, birds, fishes, and mammals. How do you decide what to work on?
:''Cwmhiraeth'': As I look around different articles I keep a note of things I might work on, red links, stub articles that need expanding or places in articles where I would like to add a wikilink but no suitable target page exists. So I have this list, but more often than not I choose a new article to work on based on a Google book that I have been using in a previous article. I like Google books; some of them are really useful for species articles, the main annoyance being when certain pages are permanently unavailable, although I am quite good at tricking the books into revealing pages that they were trying to prevent me from viewing. Eventually I get bored with African rodents, or whatever my present topic is, and move on. I am particularly interested in organisms living in extreme habitats, endangered species, invasive species, pest species, parasites or creatures with interesting behavioural traits.

3) ''Enwebb'': Which of your Wikipedia accomplishments are you most proud of?

:''Cwmhiraeth'': Well, Sea ↗ really. Again that was inspired by the WikiCup, and working in collaboration with Chiswick Chap, we took it from virtually nothing, little more than a list of seas, through DYK and GA, culminating in a really tough FA. That was very satisfying (as were the 1000 odd points it gained me at the WikiCup). In complete contrast was the article Tree ↗. I completely rewrote it in a sandbox as an entry for the "Core contest". The previous version had been quite short with a section on "Record breaking trees" which I hived off into a separate article. My new version was immediately challenged and an edit war would have erupted had I not decided to retire from the fray. My version had some serious flaws, I had never studied botany and I had used a book source which misled me. However, after corrections, my version largely remained in place and I later joined Chiswick Chap in bringing the article to GA status.

4) ''Enwebb'': What motivates you to keep contributing? What's your 10,000 ft view (pardon the non-SI) of the community and Tree of Life?

:''Cwmhiraeth'': I think Wikipedia is a really great project. The idea of Wikipedia as a pool of knowledge contributed to by thousands of individuals in hundreds of countries is inspiring. It would be nice if we had no vandalism and everyone co-operated with everyone else in an amicable spirit, but as we are all human, it does not quite work out like that. I like to think of my efforts as a legacy that will continue in existence after I am gone.

6) ''Enwebb'': How did you first become interested in natural history?

:''Cwmhiraeth'': When I was young I had an elderly aunt who used to come to stay and who would take me for walks in the countryside, during which we would watch birds and identify wild flowers. She would take me out at weekends from my girls-only boarding school and we would search for orchids on the Wiltshire Downs. My school was not geared up for science, we just did general science for O-levels, and when it came to A-levels, I was the only pupil in my year to do zoology and chemistry, and one of only two to do physics, for which we had to cycle off to the grammar school on the other side of town. I wanted to be a vet, but was discouraged by my father, obtained a BSc in biochemistry and ended up in an unrelated job. If I were to live my life again, things might work out differently, but then I dare say we could all say that!

:It's the most wonderful time of the year...Halloween, that is. With articles on skeleton frog ↗s, ghost bat ↗s, and Satanic nightjar ↗s, Wikipedia has more spooky taxa than a graveyard has ghosts. In the new Spooky Species Contest ↗, Tree of Life editors are turning Wikipedia into Spookypedia, working from a crowd-sourced list of taxa. There's still time to sign up! How can you let an article like ''Draculoides bramstokeri ↗'' pass you by?
:September saw the creation of (takes deep inhalation) ''Cneoridium dumosum (Nuttall) Hooker F. Collected March 26, 1960, at an Elevation of about 1450 Meters on Cerro Quemazón, 15 Miles South of Bahía de Los Angeles, Baja California, México, Apparently for a Southeastward Range Extension of Some 140 Miles ↗''. Just two characters shy of Wikipedia's limit on article title length, ''Cneoridium dumosum...140 Miles'' now has the longest article title of any on English Wikipedia. In contrast to its verbose title, the journal article that is the subject of the article is only five words long.

This month saw a vanishingly rare occurrence for the Tree of Life: a new WikiProject joined the fold. WikiProject Diptera ↗, however, is also unusual in being a classroom project ↗. Whether or not this project will stay active once the semester ends remains to be seen. It does not bode well, however, that {{noredirect|WP:WikiProject Vespidae}}&mdash;a creation from the same instructor at St. Louis University&mdash;faded to obscurity shortly after the fall semester concluded in 2014. WikiProject Vespidae is defunct and now redirects to the Hymenoptera task force of WikiProject Insects.

Since 2014, the Tree of Life has seen a string of years where one or zero projects or task forces were created. The only projects and task forces created since then are WikiProject Animal anatomy ↗ (2014), Hymenoptera task force ↗ (2016), Bats task force ↗ (2017), WikiProject Hypericaceae ↗ (2018), and now WikiProject Diptera (2019). The year 2006 saw the greatest creation of WikiProjects and task forces, with fourteen still active and the remaining six as "semiactive", "inactive", or "defunct".

|-

By request from another editor, this month I wrote an overview of ways that content is featured on Wikipedia. Below I have outlined some of the processes for getting content featured:

Did You Know (DYK)


'''What is it''': A way for articles to appear on the main page of Wikipedia. A short hook in the format of "Did you know...that ___" presents unusual and interesting facts to the reader, hopefully making the reader want to click through to the article

'''How it works''': The DYK process has fairly low barriers for participation. The eligibility criteria ↗ are few and relatively easy to meet. Some important guidelines:
The process for creating the nomination is somewhat tedious. Instructions can be found here ↗ (official instructions) and here ("quick and nice" guide to DYK). Experience is the best teacher here, so don't be afraid to try and fail a few times. The last few DYK nominations I've done, however, have been with the help of SD0001's DYK-helper script, which makes the process a bit more streamlined (you create the template from a popup box on the article; created template is automatically transcluded to nominations page and article talk page)

Once your nomination is created and transcluded, it will need to be reviewed. The reviewer will check that the article meets the eligibility criteria, that the hook is short enough, cited, and interesting, and that other requirements are met, such as for images. If you've been credited with more than 5 DYKs, the reviewer will also check that you've reviewed someone else's nomination for each article that you nominate. This is called QPQ (''quid pro quo''). You can check how many credited DYKs you've had here ↗ to see if QPQ is required for you to nominate an article for DYK.

Good Article (GA)


'''What it is''': A peer review process to determine that an article meets a set of criteria ↗. This adds a {{icon|GA}} symbol to the top of the article. About 1 in 200 articles on Wikipedia is a GA.

'''How it works''': You follow the instructions ↗ to nominate an article, placing a template on its talk page. Anyone can nominate an article&mdash;you don't have to be a major contributor, though it is considered polite to inform the major contributors that you are nominating the article. The article is added to a queue to await a review. In the ToL, it seems that reviews happen pretty quickly, thanks to our dedicated members. Once the review begins, the reviewer will offer suggestions to help the article meet the 6 GA criteria. Upon addressing all concerns, the reviewer will pass the article, and ''voilà''! Good Article!

'''Advice to a first-time nominator''': Look at other Good Articles in related areas before nominating. If you're unsure about nominating, consider posting to the talk page of your project to see what other editors think. You can also have a more experienced editor co-nominate the article with you.

Featured Article (FA)


'''What it is''': An exhaustive peer review to determine that an articles meets the criteria ↗. This adds a {{icon|FA}} to the top of the article. About 1 in 1,000 articles on Wikipedia is a FA.

'''How it works''': You follow the instructions ↗ to nominate an article, placing a template on its talk page. Nominated articles are usually GAs already. Uninvolved editors can nominate, though the article's regular editors should be consulted first. Several editors will come by offering feedback, eventually supporting or opposing promotion to FA. A coordinator will determine if there is consensus to promote the article to FA. For an editor's first FA, spot checks to verify that the sources support the text are conducted.

'''Advice to a first-time nominator''': The Featured Article Candidate (FAC) process is a bit intimidating, but several steps can make your first one easier (speaking as someone who has exactly one). If you also did the GA nomination of the article, you can ask the reviewer for "extra" feedback beyond the GA criteria. You can also formally request a peer review ↗ and/or a copy edit ↗ from the Guild of Copy Editors to check for content and mechanics. First-time nominators are encouraged to seek the help of a mentor ↗ for a higher likelihood of passing their first FAC.

Good and Featured Topics (GT and FT)


'''What it is''': It took me a while to realize we even had GT and FT on Wikipedia, as they are not very common relative to GA and FA. Both GT and FT are collections of related articles of high quality (all articles at GA or FA, all lists at Featured List). GT/FT have to be at least 3 articles with no obvious gaps in coverage of the topic, along with other criteria ↗. For GT, all articles have to be GA quality and all lists must be FL. For FT, at least half the articles must be FA or FL, with the remaining articles at GA.

'''How it works''': Follow the nomination procedures ↗ for creating a new topic or adding an article to an existing topic. Other editors weigh in to support or oppose the proposal. Coordinators determine if there is consensus to promote to GT/FT.

'''Advice to a first-time nominator''': There are very few GT/FT in Tree of Life (5 GT ↗ and 11 FT ↗). Most of the legwork appears to be improving a cohesive set of articles to GA/FA.

Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Template:Ornithomimosauria ↗


48px|left|alt=|link= ↗

A tag has been placed on :Template:Ornithomimosauria ↗ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗ because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by visiting the page ↗ and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines ↗. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Template%3AOrnithomimosauria|deleting administrator}}, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here ↗. <!-- Template:Db-t3-notice --><!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> Pkbwcgs (talk) 16:08, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

"for heaven's sake"



Can't you be a bit nicer, I didn't enjoy it. There is absolutely no consensus that ''E. kuukpikensis'' is a valid subspecies of ''Edmontosaurus'' (I didn't see any paper doing this, in fact); rather, it is referred to ''E.'' sp. in the latest study. Thus my revert. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 05:32, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
:It was talked about on the talk page and the rename was considered the best choice of compromise. In light of the rename it must as such be linked at ''Edmontosaurus ↗''. Perhaps it can be labelled as dubious in the taxobox. '''''<span style="color:#00FF83">Luso</span><span style="color:#FF7178">titan</span>''''' (Talk ↗ <nowiki>|</nowiki> Contributions ↗) 05:45, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
::The combination ''Edmontosaurus kuukpikensis'' does not exist at all (no hits in a google scholar search). This is not a compromise, this is inventing a new combination, and is absolutely against WP:OR ↗. Please revert again to the previous version of the article. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 05:52, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
:::''Ugrunaaluk'' is not considered a valid taxon distinct from ''Edmontosaurus'' in the modern literature. It is unacceptable for it to be left to exist in its original state. '''''<span style="color:#00FF83">Luso</span><span style="color:#FF7178">titan</span>''''' (Talk ↗ <nowiki>|</nowiki> Contributions ↗) 07:12, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
::::I never suggested to keep that article. ''Ugrunaaluk ↗'' should redirect to ''Edmontosaurus'', and ''Edmontosaurus kuukpikensis ↗'', as a made-up name, has to be deleted altogether (no redirect, per WP:OR ↗). Content needs to be merged with ''Edmontosaurus ↗''. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 07:17, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
:::::''E. kuukpikensis'' is probably useful to have as a redirect seeing as the name is often used online. Folks might try searching it. '''''<span style="color:#00FF83">Luso</span><span style="color:#FF7178">titan</span>''''' (Talk ↗ <nowiki>|</nowiki> Contributions ↗) 13:25, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
::::::Agreed, should be fine to keep it as a redirect. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 14:07, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
:::::::You will need to discuss this at either the page of the WikiProject before doing such. '''''<span style="color:#00FF83">Luso</span><span style="color:#FF7178">titan</span>''''' (Talk ↗ <nowiki>|</nowiki> Contributions ↗) 19:11, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
::::::::FunkMonk already filed a merge proposal. My personal concern was with the ''Edmontosaurus'' article, which is now resolved as well. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 19:18, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Re: Stegouros



Do you have any preference as to which figures from the preprint you want uploaded? Like, do you want all of the extended data figures? Do you want the bonemap fig from the supplementary information pdf? Hemiauchenia (talk) 01:33, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
:Whoops, completely forgot to respond on that point, sorry. Both figures from the supplemental data could be potentially useful (in addition to the two others from the main paper I can personally upload through Researchgate).

:: I've gone and uploaded all of them, even the researchgate ones, see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Stegouros. Hemiauchenia (talk) 01:57, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
::: Also some photos of ''Antarctopelta ↗'' material in there that is probably worth incorporating into that article. Hemiauchenia (talk) 01:59, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

|-
|
This month has seen an incredible amount of activity creating high quality content, with 3 FAs, 3 FACs, and a veritable flood of GAs and GANs, not to mention the FLs and FLCs. To help maintain this high level of activity going forward, WikiProject Tree of Life is starting a new monthly rolling contest ↗, inspired by the contest ↗ run by WikiProject Military History. This contest should hopefully help incentivize editors to contribute in ways that are less daunting than writing articles that are GA and FA-quality. Even improving articles from stub to start class, or helping other editors by reviewing their work at GAN, FAC, or FLC, gets you points, with bonus points for articles with especially high page views. Make sure to participate in any way you can, and help improve the 'pedia while having fun and winning Barnstars!

The first edition of our new monthly contest ↗ had perhaps a little less participation than I hoped for, but it still resulted in a huge amount of content work, mainly focussed on de-stubbing articles on little-known species, although we did also see two GAs for Holozoa ↗ and ''Hypericum perforatum ↗''. Overall, over 60 articles were improved, with most going from stubs or redlinks to fully fleshed out articles. The winner this month was {{noping|Simongraham}}, who improved 21 articles about spiders, mainly to B and C class, and racked up 70 points, over twice the next highest. Hopefully, we'll continue to see such great work next month, with even more participants and even more articles improved.
<br>
<small>Also anyone who wants to help coordinate the contest can just drop by at the talk page ↗, I really need help.</small>

The second edition of our monthly contest ↗ was even better than the last month, with 80 articles improved spanning the entire tree of life. The winner this month was {{noping|Quetzal1964}}, who contributed to 47 articles, mainly relating to marine fish ↗, and racked up 81 points in the process. In second place was {{noping|simongraham}}, who got 60 points from 14 articles on various species of jumping spider ↗s. {{noping|simongraham}} is still at the top of our overall standings, with 130 points, and {{noping|Quetzal1964}}'s close behind on 108. The November edition of the contest is now open: feel free to drop by and participate if you work on any TOL-related articles this month.

Anyone interested in receiving the newsletter can add their name here ↗.

And so ends the fourth edition of the monthly rolling contest ↗, as well as the 2023 Tree of Life Contest as a whole. This month saw {{noping|simongraham}} win with a very impressive 120 points from 27 articles. {{noping|Quetzal1964}} was second with 74 points from 37 articles. The annual contest was a close race between simongraham and Quetzal1964; simongraham won first place with 256 points from 64 articles, and Quetzal1964 was second with 250 points from 146 articles. {{noping|Snoteleks}} was third with 79 points from 33 articles. Congratulations to everyone who won this year and my gratitude to everyone else who helped raise the quality of articles in our little corner of Wikipedia this year. Additionally, a very Happy New Year to everyone in the project and here's looking forward to continuing our good work in 2024!

Editor experience invitation



Hi LittleLazyLass :) I'm looking for experienced editors to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. <span style="color:darkorchid">Clovermoss</span><span style="color:green">🍀</span> (talk) 21:22, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics


{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to '''gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them''', a topic designated as '''contentious ↗'''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as ''contentious topics''. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit <strong>carefully</strong> and <strong>constructively</strong>, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

<p>Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics ''procedures'' you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard ↗ or you may learn more about this contentious topic here ↗. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. </p>}}<!-- Derived from Template:Contentious topics/alert/first -->{{pb}} Also, plese have a look also at the information at this page ↗, which appears when editing J. K. Rowling ↗. '''Sandy'''<span style="color: green;">Georgia</span> (Talk) 14:29, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Ornithocheiridae/Anhangueridae swap



Hey there, I've closed the merge request and swapped the two articles. Please do the merge and any necessary cleanup as soon as possible, since we currently have two articles temporarily sitting at the "wrong" title. I will try to do some of the easier stuff but I don't have the subject-matter knowledge necessary for some of this. Thanks, <span style="color:#21a81e;font-variant: small-caps;font-weight:bold;">'''Toadspike'''</span> [[User talk:Toadspike|<span style="color:#21a81e;font-variant: small-caps;font-weight:bold;">[Talk]</span>]] 08:59, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Dueling Dinosaurs Edit



Please refrain from removing my Dueling Dinosaurs contribution.

I cited two peer-reviewed studies supporting the classification. It's therefore not "fringe opinion." It's supported by multiple Ph.D. dinosaur specialists the same as the Nanotyrannus classification is. &#126;2026-30729-01 ↗ (talk) 23:18, 23 May 2026 (UTC)
