"Your" bird on the Main page - precious again, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:39, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks again! FunkMonk (talk) 11:42, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on 2014 Israeli offensive on fa requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 "Click here to contest this speedy deletion".

Good, delete it, it was a typo. FunkMonk (talk) 08:25, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

With your expertise on images are you able to sort out the taxobox image in Rodent. It is a collage, but if you click on it you get a different collage image, which is the one we are trying to use. I suspect the problem may be to do with two images with identical file names. Are you able to help? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:13, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

I get the same image. What do you see? FunkMonk (talk) 07:25, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Looking at the article I see a collage with a red squirrel at top right, black rat at top centre and beaver at bottom left. Clicking on this I get "File:Rodent collage.png" with ground squirrels at top right, springhare at top centre and the same beaver at bottom left. Its weird. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:08, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

I get this[1] from both. Maybe it's a cache issue, try to purge the page? I can see an earlier version of the file shows a rat, so it is likely a cache issue, you're seeing the old image. FunkMonk (talk)

I tried that and the image is displaying correctly now. How peculiar! My computer was recording that the text of the article was changing at each edit but it thought it would save time by not reloading the image each time I looked at the page. Come to think of it, I have noticed in the past how an image new to an article takes longer to load than one that is already there. There are new things to learn every day! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:28, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, sometimes the dimensions of an image that have been updated stay thhee same as they were before, skewing the new image, and I've also tried that thumbnails wouldn't change for months... FunkMonk (talk) 12:30, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

I see you added a move request for "2014 Israel-Gaza conflict", but you did so before existing text, so not sure it is really getting the attention it should, as it looks like it has already been debated to death before it started. You removed my header and all (which makes my comments confusing, looking like I was voting or participating in that discussion when I wasn't), and I think it muddies up your own attempt. I'm not worried about my comments being moved on a personal level, just saying the section is less readable than it should be. I would suggest moving it below with the actual responses that belong with it below, simply to give the name a reasonable chance for consideration. It does appear to the be most neutral name. I did a fair amount of searching, and I'm not finding ANY singular name for the event that would make it an obvious title (including the current title), so I don't have any better ideas. Just a suggestion, there isn't any policy issue at stake. Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER 18:00, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Not sure what I removed, I only added the request template as far as I could see. Anything beyond that would have been unintended. I rather think the move request below that section takes attention away, there should only be one at a time. FunkMonk (talk) 18:11, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Incredibly confusing page. I see that you and I both edited at the same instant, [2], and it was FutureTrillionaire that de-titled and moved my comments. [3]. Really not a good idea. I will just move that section ABOVE all the move requests then. Not chronologically correct, but I fear it is distracting from a good faith discussion. Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER 18:24, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Is this model (see here or in Flickr here) is a correct reconstruction of Argentinosaurus? MathKnight 18:35, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

The feet seem to be a bit lumpy, with too rounded claws and such, possible a result of it being some kind of toy, which could be harmful to children if it had too sharp features. The hands would have been more columnar. I also think there might be copyright issues with uploading photos of toys... FunkMonk (talk) 18:43, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

I see. I don't think there are copy rights infringement by taking a photo of this toy/model (unlike taking a 3D modeling of it). I understand your remarks. But overall, is it reasonably accurate (I know it won't be a 100% accurate reconstruction due to size limits of the model and sculpturing resolution) for use in Wikipedia and in articles about Argentinosaurus? MathKnight 18:51, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Hmm, you could try to post it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Dinosaurs/Image_review FunkMonk (talk) 18:54, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. MathKnight 18:59, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Why in your move request did you specify no redirect? Surely the name of the IDF operation is a reasonable search target for the article? Gaijin42 (talk) 18:49, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

It will automatically become a redirect. FunkMonk (talk) 11:07, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Would you be able to create a cladgram of the living equines? The graph can be found here. LittleJerry (talk) 01:44, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

I'm thinking that the "Function of stripes" should be removed. Its about zebra stripes in general and not specific to the quagga, which has fewer stripes anyway. LittleJerry (talk) 18:02, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Well, if you look at the sources in that section, the quagga is covered by all of them. I do agree that the paragraph that someone added gnot so long ago goes too much into specifics. I'll try to cut it down. FunkMonk (talk) 18:06, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

I've been tempted to bring zebra to GA. Would that interest you? LittleJerry (talk) 21:17, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Ooh, that's a tough one, especially since it seems to be a paraphyletic group, the article's structure has annoyed me for a while. I'm feeling a bit of writing fatigue these days, and I expand articles at a very slow pace, so I probably can't commit enough for a deadline, but I'll help out if I can... Perhaps some of the striping stuff I cut out can be used there... FunkMonk (talk) 21:22, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

I'll think about it, I'm working on Equus. Zebra might be easier as I wouldn't have to write it from scratch. As for the taxonomy, most studies I've seen show that zebras are monophyletic. LittleJerry (talk) 00:27, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

Ah well, I must've read it in an outdated source... Which is pretty much the only type of source I read these days! FunkMonk (talk) 21:57, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Martinique macaw you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Cwmhiraeth -- Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:21, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

The article Martinique macaw you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Martinique macaw for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

I have come across Fig. 1 of this paper. The skeletals in it, by Greg Paul, as apparently "used with permission", and I do not know if they have been published before. Both Corythosaurus casuarius and C. intermedius are illustrated, which could definitely be used to show the differences between them in the article. As you are a Commons administrator, I would like to know if this can be used, so that I can crop it to the skeletals and upload it. Thanks, IJReid (talk) 03:15, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

I've thought about that one before, actually. The problem with them just saying "used with permission" is that it does not specify whether copyright to the image has been handed over to the authors. I'll ask somewhere at Commons... FunkMonk (talk) 03:18, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Quagga - precious again --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:19, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

I just moved Frances Ames into mainspace, and although it is nowhere near complete, I'm wondering if you could help look for an image. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 04:50, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Northern Spain. Since you had some involvement with the Northern Spain redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. - TheChampionMan1234 01:48, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Wait, what did you have a problem with me changing on Mariana mallard. I changed the synonyms to the standard ICZN format, rather than an old nonstandard one only used for mammals these days (which I added years ago, before I knew better), I removed the rather obvious fact that it was resident to make the caption shorter, and removed the range map width parameter, by mistake (thought it was the image parameter, which isn't needed here). In your revert edit you said something was "redundant". So, did you mean I the width parameter should have been removed? In any case, be more careful looking at diffs before reverting, please! —innotata 01:06, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Let's discuss this on the article talk page. I know of few if any other sources (books, etc.) that use that format, parenthesis is used to show if a combination is a reassignment, no need to write original species authority for every synonym. This needs a wider editor discussion before implementation, since it will affect thousands of articles. FunkMonk (talk) 01:08, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing, but I'm really running out of steam, particularly with things in my personal life. LittleJerry (talk) 14:46, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Alright, I understand, it's pretty much passed already, but to round it off, I'll just let Montana respond, and then I'll do it "officially". FunkMonk (talk) 14:52, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

He doesn't seem to be. LittleJerry (talk) 22:57, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

I made some changes in the casualties section of the infobox to cut down a bit on the info and make it more presentable and readable. Hope it looks OK now? EkoGraf (talk) 21:55, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Looks ok to me. FunkMonk (talk) 21:58, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Aloha. Quick question for you. There are links to images for use on Plaincourault Chapel found here. It appears to be an official website for the town. In any case, their legal page says "La reproduction, partielle ou totale, de ce site est autorisée à condition d’en mentionner la source," which Google translates as "The reproduction, total or partial of this site are authorized provided the source is acknowledged." Does this mean we can freely use the images of the chapel on Wikipedia? Viriditas (talk) 05:05, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

The problem for Wikipedia is that an image has to be free for commercial use, and often people aren't willing to grant that, so I'd send them a mail to be sure... FunkMonk (talk) 05:10, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 05:44, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

I have identified the edit in which an IP added the subspecies description in Least weasel on November 15th 2012. It looks as if it was someone with access to a number of different computers with the numbers 108.20.109.69, 108.20.101.126 and 108.20.103.197, a student perhaps. The information added was the subspecies descriptions only, but the ranges are also uncited. I have failed to find this information and Mariomassone is unable to help. What would you like me to do about it? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:36, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Is there perhaps a source with some description of each subspecies that you could replace it with? If not, I may have to ask on the GA nominations talkpage. FunkMonk (talk) 13:44, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

I have found a source for the two American subspecies anyway. I'll work on the article tomorrow. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:04, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your usual, thorough, GA review. The source I mentioned above was unhelpful as it predated the description of the subspecies, but JSTOR saved the day! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:06, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Always a pleasure! FunkMonk (talk) 05:11, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Do you think the American paddlefish and/or Alligator gar articles are worthy of FA status? It seems to me they would be based on what I've seen in the FA list, and the requirements. Atsme☯^Consult 16:30, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, I know the first article best obviously, I think you could do it. Just add a source for "After hatching, the larval fish drift downstream into areas of low flow velocity where they forage on zooplankton." I usually request copyediting to be sure the writing is up to snuff, but that can take ages to wait for. FunkMonk (talk) 16:50, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Ok, thank you. Will cite a source now. Atsme☯^Consult 17:44, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

The image issue brought up at the DYK will probably be brought up during a FAC, so you should probably do this before: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:OTRS FunkMonk (talk) 18:07, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

User:Mdann52 already handled it, and I now have a tag I can use in the future. The FA nomination is complete. Atsme☯^Consult 21:09, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Katurran.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 14:43, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Can I get your help, or at least some advice on dealing with an anonymous editor at the Hell Creek Formation article? An editor using either multiple IPs or a dynamic IP keeps inserting original research edits, primarily in the form of inane identification. For example, in a section about an unidentified azhdarchid, it would then put in no fewer than three different pictures of Quetzalcoatlus, or for Hybodus, it would put in, like, two photographs of a bullshark. At the moment, I'm in an editwar with it over whether or not Nanotyrannus (and a dozen superfluous synonyms) should be inserted into the article. The editor appears unwilling or uncaring to respond to any requests for discussion or warnings beyond restoring its original research edits. I've tried asking at other places, but they declined to help.--Mr Fink (talk) 00:09, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Greetings,
Care to keep an eye on this guy for two days maximum? He recently showed up on Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant after 2 years being inactive to POVishly add insignificant viewpoints to the article, making them appear as if they were well-known facts.[5] [6] I don't know about you, but the behavior looks very ducky to me, so I have filed an investigation because I suspect him to be Sopher (possibly editing on a proxy). If you also happen to know of any diffs showing original research in Sopher's edits it would be very much appreciated. Cheers, Fitzcarmalan (talk) 16:31, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Interesting, I remember the name. Well, I'll look out... FunkMonk (talk) 17:23, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Bit of a mess there for a little bit, what with my not knowing you had already uploaded versions of the images and all that, but I guess we got it sorted out. :) G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 16:05, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, no problem, just remember to upload the largest possible versions of an image another time. Both because it is of course the best to use, but also because that will prevent others from uploading the same image. Commons has a sort of mechanism that recognises exact duplicates and prevents users from uploading them multiple times. FunkMonk (talk) 16:08, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I've run into it before, when I was uploading the same image multiple times so I could crop it into smaller pieces. G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 17:00, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

In Wikipedia, is there a precedent for, if a taxon is named after something, and there's only one such taxon, titling the page as "Name (genus)" or is the precedent "Name (type of organism)"?--Mr Fink (talk) 17:33, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

For dinosaurs and pterosaurs one of these words are used, but for other groups I don't think there is consistency... Maybe there should be. What is the example here? FunkMonk (talk) 17:39, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Well, after the article Balnibarbi was created, the article about the trilobite genus was then moved: Moonraker17 wants it as "Balnibarbi (trilobite)," for consistency with other Ordovician trilobite articles, while I'd prefer it as "Balnibarbi (genus)," as there are no other taxa or things named after Balnibarbi, and that as far as my experience goes, such specificity is used only if there are more than one taxa or thing that use a particular name. And I figure I would go to you for your sage advice and experience.--Mr Fink (talk) 18:15, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Hmmm, Moonraker's suggestion would be in line with wikiproject dinosaurs convention: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Dinosaurs#Article_titles FunkMonk (talk) 18:21, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

I have been searching through Rhino Research Center, which is helpful for references on indricotheres. I have found a full reference article "Gigantskie Nosorogi", which is the article that has the dental formula in it. This article could also help with Indricotheriinae, and possibly get all indricotheres to GA. Google scholar is okay for translating, and once the main idea is across corrections are easy. IJReid (talk) 02:29, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Hey, er, I hate to be a pain about this, but I accidentally started an image review, and found a lot of problems you had missed. I'm a little worried, because, generally speaking, we only image review articles once, so it might be good to compare workflows? There's a few common mistakes that people make that are worth checking for. =) Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 06:51, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

No problem, I was aware that the armature outline may be a problem, but wondered whether it could be discounted as deminimis. I'll have more time to check issues later today or tomorrow. FunkMonk (talk) 06:54, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

It's probably fine in the skull, but there's a photo where the whole focus is the outline, and that's probably going to fail. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 06:56, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

By the way, http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/cce/firstperiod.html for journals and http://collections.stanford.edu/copyrightrenewals/bin/page?forward=home for books are really useful links to have on hand when checking things after 1923. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 06:58, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

I kind of want to write an article on her. "Dinosaurs and Other Extinct Saurians: A Historical Perspective" edited by Richard Moody has a short writeup of her [8] - she was apparently pretty in demand, and praised for her attention to detail. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 15:57, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Seems the older G. M. Woodward is notable enough for an article as well... FunkMonk (talk) 22:37, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

The article was based on a direct copy and paste from encyclopedia Britannica so undeleting it would be a pretty clear infringement of copyright law. I can provide a copy of the Taxobox but thats about it.©Geni (talk) 17:22, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Usually, such articles are tagged so they can be fixed, not deleted on sight. Not sure why this one should be different, but provide the text, then I will summarise it to a short, non copyrighted form. FunkMonk (talk) 17:28, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Providing you with the text would be a direct copyright infringement. Tagging is for complicated cases. In this case it was straightforward enough for WP:CSD#G12 to apply. I can provide you with the taxobox but the rest you would have to start from scratch.©Geni (talk) 17:46, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Having a copyright in the edit history is not a problem. This is a Wiki, it can be removed from view afterwards. You seem to be handling this incident differently from how other admins do it, and in a way that makes it harder for us to get anywhere form here. FunkMonk (talk) 17:50, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Actually it is a problem just one we generally gloss over. In this case there is a direct complaint which means a more direct response. In any case you are asking me to directly infringe a third party copyright which would be a violation of wikipedia policy and in theory put in in a position to be sued for $150K damages. I generally try and avoid breaking wikipedia policy too often.©Geni (talk) 18:12, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Then at the very least, undelete the article, give it a single sentence text, with a taxobox, so others can repair it. Deleting it entirely is completely useless. Who knows when it will be recreated? FunkMonk (talk) 18:16, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

I am not going to undelete a copyright infringement. You can find the material on the encyclopedia Britannica website if you want to look at it.©Geni (talk) 14:35, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

I want the taxobox, categories, images, and other non-copyrighted material that was deleted for no good reason. FunkMonk (talk) 19:27, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

It was deleted for an entirely good reason. The taxobox may be copyright user:Stemonitis but along with the lone category can be found at User:FunkMonk/Amphitherium.©Geni (talk) 07:51, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, I will remake it later today. Did you delete any redirects to the page? FunkMonk (talk) 11:08, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

I did not delete any redirects.©Geni (talk) 22:49, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

During reading through Persons et al. (2014), I came across an illustration of Ajancingenia displaying its tail feathers. As you seem to be able to get larger figure sizes from Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, I was wondering if you could tell me how you get the larger images, as the only way I have in the past is by taking a constrained screenshot. Thanks, IJReid (talk) 17:33, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Yes, this should work for most PDFs opened in Adobe Reader: If you haven't chosen this tool already, go to tools, and select the first tool, a marker arrow. Then simply click on an image, it will turn blue, and hold down ctrl and click on c. Then you go to an image edit programme, and click ctrl v to paste it. In Photoshop, and probably other programs, clicking file and new will create a window that fits the image you have copied perfectly. Then you will have an identical copy to the original image from the PDF. Beware that it is not possible to do this in all PDFs, where the images are sometimes part of the background for some reason. In those cases, I use the "snapshot tool" in the PDF reader; zoom in on the page and mark the image part, ctrl c, and then the same as above. FunkMonk (talk) 17:40, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I understand that back in 2009 that you had worked on perfecting on the redirect for Dinosauroid. Even though the Dinosauroid brought up by Dale Russell redirects to Troodon, various media appearances have envoked the Dinosauroids (usually under the Dinosoid name) like Turok, an episode of Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show, and Dino-Rang from the Skylanders franchise. What can be done to make that into a page? We have to put all that Dinosauroid info somewhere. --Rtkat3 (talk) 17:57, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

That doesn't really seem like material enough to warrant an article. FunkMonk (talk) 19:01, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

What can be done to warrant it? --Rtkat3 (talk) 20:58, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

If a lot more is added about the actual subject, the hypothetical dinosauroid. A list of random pop culture references doesn't cut it. FunkMonk (talk) 21:05, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

So if more than Dale Russell's Dinosauroid thing is added to the descriptions, then the article would be warranted. Is that what you mean? --Rtkat3 (talk) 21:28, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

No, the opposite, if more about the actual Dinosauroid theory is added, to the point that it is too much for the Troodon article to to bear. And even then, that info would be better off at Dinosaur intelligence. FunkMonk (talk) 21:31, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

If there isn't any current Dinosauroid theories, then this is going to take awhile. If we get more of that info in the days to come, then it's page can be established. Right? --Rtkat3 (talk) 21:43, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

There has actually been quite abit of recent commentary on the theory by for example Darren Naish. But I'd perhaps bring this up on the dinosaur project talk page to see what others think. FunkMonk (talk) 21:45, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Let me know what they say? --Rtkat3 (talk) 22:32, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

In the sense that if I wanted to know, you can ask here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Dinosaurs FunkMonk (talk) 22:36, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

whats wrong with that image!?you say that it has too much fur and jungle but I don't think that's ok.as well stop removing the image from its article!? i dont think its inaccurate--87.228.204.54 (talk) 10:20, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

No, because there was no such jungle at the time, it didn't live in trees, and it didn't have this amount of fur. It is too inaccurate for inclusion. FunkMonk (talk) 10:23, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

what about this image?do you think its inaccurate?(I think yes because this link displays it with a different skull shape. as well do they really a humped back and a that-short tail?)whats your option?is it inaccurate?if yes could you make a more accurate image for me?--87.228.204.54 (talk) 08:33, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

Not sure, but at least it doesn't show it in a wrong environment, doing wrong things. The "hump" is just due to its posture. By the way, such images can be sent to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Palaeontology/Paleoart_review FunkMonk (talk) 09:42, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

well,at first it will be blanked if i would porpose you for indefinitely blocking at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard and, second I have revented it before you noticed it.as well the image is used at http://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%A0%CF%81%CE%B9%CF%83%CF%84%CE%B5%CF%81%CE%BF%CF%8C%CE%B3%CE%BD%CE%B1%CE%B8%CE%BF%CF%82 (you can check the link for accurancy, but do NOT remove the image) --87.228.204.54 (talk) 11:04, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure your request will be unsuccessful. In fact, blanking people's pages will only get yourself blocked. Instead, do as suggested, and put the image up for review. FunkMonk (talk) 11:06, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

well,it wouldnt be successful because the image cant be changed and im having another image porposed for review there--87.228.204.54 (talk) 11:09, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

You can have as many images for review as you want. But why would you insist on including it if it was found to be inaccurate? Yes, it looks nice, but that's not a reason for inclusion. FunkMonk (talk) 11:35, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

well,there are no skin impressions on the fossils,so its difficult to prove the fact that it had fur(in fact fur in therocephalians is speculative because there is no known furry therocephalian)but the rest,maybe--87.228.204.54 (talk) 11:47, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

It may have had fur, but the image shows it in a tree, with what appears to be clouded leopard markings (no doubt a photo manipulation of that animal or a relation). Animals that live in trees have anatomical peculiarities that indicate this behaviour, and it has not been proposed for this animal, which seems very terrestrial in build, with flat feet and all. FunkMonk (talk) 12:02, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

I don't believe you.pristerognathus vanderbyli(the species depicted on the image)is known only from a skull(for evidence see here)so your claims are dubious.as well could you upload to the commons your image with the regisaurus skull(which can be found here)I need it for the article Regisaurus thanks--87.228.204.54 (talk) 09:51, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

The Regisaurus skull is not free. And again, there were no such jungles at the time, so you ca be pretty sure it didn't climb around in one. And skeletons of close relatives of P. vanderbyli are known, and they do not have climbing adaptations, so it wouldn't either. By the way, this discussion should be continued on the genus article's talk page so that others can see it. FunkMonk (talk) 10:03, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

if The Regisaurus skull is not free,then try to create one by yourself.as well if you want,you can create a drawing of the skeleton as well.and again the link http://www.paleofile.com/Theriodontia/Pristerognathus.asp says there are no postcranial pristerognathus fossils(there have been reports of pristerognathus postcrania but they have been moved to pristerognathoides)by the way strop that damned nonsense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.and,before I forget it did you like the stuff ive created at your user page?--87.228.204.54 (talk) 10:40, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

No problem with rewriting anything I submit as there are situations that something subconsciously is not made part of the statement so when I find something confusing and I do not know everything about it what gets into the change obviously can be less than accurate; for me the articles on cricket teams. Just as the Ams have terms that are easily understood so do the Brits but each growing up with the term meaning may leave out explaining it to the lay person. Anyways, I think that rewrites are a better effort than reverting unilaterally. So much for a presumed dodo association.66.74.176.59 (talk) 19:11, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

On 11 December 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tachiraptor, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the 200-million-year-old Tachiraptor is a new type of dinosaur discovered in Venezuela? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tachiraptor. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
