Hi there. |
Hi there. It's good to see someone new working on dinosaurs (and yes, I even saw you join the dead-on-arrival WikiProject :). But could you move Titanosauridae back to titanosaur? The article actually discusses Titanosauria in general, including the family, and how the largest grouping of sauropods is still vague, given the dubious anchor taxa and all the missing skulls. I followed the ToL guideline of defaulting to the lowest covered taxa in the taxobox, which may have been incorrect -- I have no problem with changing the taxobox to Titanosauria (and probably should, since at least two of the listed genera are commonly classified as nemegosaurids). If you do a Google check the term "titanosaur" is more than five times more common than titanosaurid, titanosaurian, Titanosauridae, and Titanosauria, so the article title should use the common name (similar to the way the article is correctly at dinosaur, not dinosaurian or Dinosauria). I was careful about using titanosaurid when I referred to just the family in the article (the eggs), but that probably should be clarified.

Happy editing! - UtherSRG 20:02, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
Just dropping a hello. Sorry if my edits on [[Jurassic Park}} were rather harshly-worded (in retrospect). I have restored the first paragraph (what was I thinking?). The meaning of the second paragraph is clear to me from your notes, but I think it needs to be made clear that genetic engineering (or artificial selection) on this scale is presently unfeasible. I like your user page, and I also have a focus upon correcting bad science or bias in wikipedia. I'll get back to this issue as soon as possible.--ChrisJMoor 02:37, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
"Walking with Dinosaurs" screenshots!
How excllent! I hope you'll make a long series of "Dinosaurs" and "Mammals" screenshots: Wikipedia needs these illustrations! --Wetman 05:50, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'd really like to describe every episode of the series, as my brother has them on VHS. I downloaded the screenshot and didn't shoot it myself. I don't know if it was ever released on DVD. (and I hope it's not a copyright infringement) — Phlebas 16:28, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Titanosaur
Hi there. It's good to see someone new working on dinosaurs (and yes, I even saw you join the dead-on-arrival WikiProject :). But could you move Titanosauridae back to titanosaur? The article actually discusses Titanosauria in general, including the family, and how the largest grouping of sauropods is still vague, given the dubious anchor taxa and all the missing skulls. I followed the ToL guideline of defaulting to the lowest covered taxa in the taxobox, which may have been incorrect -- I have no problem with changing the taxobox to Titanosauria (and probably should, since at least two of the listed genera are commonly classified as nemegosaurids). If you do a Google check the term "titanosaur" is more than five times more common than titanosaurid, titanosaurian, Titanosauridae, and Titanosauria, so the article title should use the common name (similar to the way the article is correctly at dinosaur, not dinosaurian or Dinosauria). I was careful about using titanosaurid when I referred to just the family in the article (the eggs), but that probably should be clarified. 68.81.231.127 19:24, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
