Semi protection

I think it would be a good idea any thoughts? Jakegaming7788 (talk) 14:50, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Largest Theropod Sizes Inaccurate

On the theropod article, the sizes are wrong. Tyrannosaurus would actually have been the heaviest theropod, since it’s 9 tonnes, and Spino is 7.5. The Spino also wasn’t 18 meters long but 16. Giga wasn’t 14.8 meters but around 13 instead. Mikail2009 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 11:08, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

They are not wrong, we are giving a range of estimates that have been produced instead of sticking to one alternative. Lythronaxargestes (talk | contribs) 17:03, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just chiming in, but I presume the commonly thrown around 7 or 7.5 tonne figure is from the new Ibrahim discoveries. Nizar Ibrahim has actually stated in a Reddit Q&A that he now believes that the Spinosaurus is something more like 10-12 tonnes based on a newer model that will probably be published in the future (can't be used until then). Although he did say that he thinks theropods in general are underestimated. I guess we'll have to wait for concrete evidence. Spinosaurus75 (Dinosaur Fan) (talk) 15:10, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rules for Sources

I've been away from Wikipedia for a while and it looks like the controversial heavy mass estimates for therapods have been removed. May I ask what are the current standards for deciding what sources are reliable to be used in the page? Spinosaurus75 (Dinosaur Fan) (talk) 15:21, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
