Hi FunkMonk I have been reading articles of your creation for years and I just wanted to drop by to thank you for your quality work! Regards. Gus Chago (talk) 20:52, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi FunkMonk. I've recently taken chicken turtle to GA, and the reviewer there was very helpful in suggesting some additions and improvements to get the article towards FA standard. I saw your name listed at WP:FAM and just wondered whether you wouldn't mind having a read through too, see if you think there are any obvious omissions, errors, etc? This is the first zoology article I've written so would be good to have an experienced eye take a look. Cheers, BigDom (talk) 06:40, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello! I would like to clarify why you reverted my edit in Heterodontosaurus article. As far as I can tell, the current consensus is that URLs are added when there is a legally available free version of an paper. For example, the first source used in the Heterodontosaurus article has the url and doi leading to the same page because the paper is free. Exactly the same situation is observed in many other cases. Therefore, I do not understand what is the reason for undoing the edit. HFoxii (talk) 15:11, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Thak you today for Lord Howe swamphen, "about yet another near-mythical, recently extinct bird. It has one of the most confusing taxonomic histories of any species I've written about, so I hope I've made it somewhat easy to understand... Most of what has ever been written about the bird is summarised in the article, and it includes the most important illustrations."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:40, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
The article Kelenken you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed.

Hemiauchenia (talk) 19:02, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
It has been classified as a synonym last year. But American Troodontid taxonomy seems to be always in a flux, so it's more likely an opinion.
I would approve merging Nomingia due to last year's study seems to be a strong suggest. But for Latenivenatrix…not sure. Huinculsaurus (talk) 09:36, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
Currie attended on the paper, but it might not be Currie directly indicating the proposed synonymy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.49.62.61 (talk) 12:11, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
So is it more feasible to merge the page Latenivenatrix now or wait? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huinculsaurus (talk • contribs) 14:20, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
At least one study mentions both Stenonychosaurus and Latenivenatrix as distinct taxa in this year, and the study features Currie. Intriguingly that some of the papers featuring phylogenetic trees regarding Troodon still as valid also features Currie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huinculsaurus (talk • contribs) 01:16, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

It was known from postcranial remains and I cannot find any sources beside a paper in the 2000s saying it to be a nomen dubium, like Nuthetes (I've fixed the page Nuthetes and removed the saying of it to be a nomen dubium because I cannot find any sources saying it to be a nomen dubium, added a source of the diagnosis of Nuthetes, we can follow the source), but I am curious which paper classifies it as an oviraptorosaur? Huinculsaurus (talk) 22:43, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
The paper recognizing Nuthetes as valid is published by Milner (2002), and it is this one:
"Theropod dinosaurs of the Purbeck Limestone Group, southern England" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huinculsaurus (talk • contribs) 06:59, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
In fact, I cannot find any post-2002 papers still regarding Nuthetes to be a nomen dubium, so it is safe to follow Milner (2002) to treat Nuthetes as a valid taxon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huinculsaurus (talk • contribs) 00:27, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
But the validity of Nuthetes's holotype is defended in Milner's 2002 paper, so we can retain it to be a valid genus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huinculsaurus (talk • contribs) 05:40, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
But the validity is currently stable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huinculsaurus (talk • contribs) 14:04, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Ok FunkMonk I agree that this may have been very disruptive, but I must clarify. The page 106 of this very book (which is cited on the sentences about its size) states this:
"Clauss et al. (2003) looked at the nutritional constraints of large body size, particularly in contrasting the relatively efficient foregut-fermenting ruminants (which tend not to grow to huge sizes) versus the inefficient hindgut fermenters like elephants, rhinos and hippos. Based on these constraints, they found that Fortelius and Kapppleman's (1993) estimate of 11-15 tonnes for indricotheres was more consistent with digestive constraints of the higher estimates of 20 tonnes or greater. Thus, we must be careful when quoting old numbers from early authors about the weights of extinct creatures. Indricotheres probably weighed only in the 10-15 tonne range and maxed out at 20 tonnes on the largest individuals. It is very unlikely that there were any in the 30-35 tonne range, as is so often cited."
Clearly it states the weight range at 10-15 tonnes and max at 20 tonnes, not max 15-20 tonnes. Now I think the confusion for max 15-20 tonnes came from the later page which is not cited at those sentences. In page 117 it is stated:
"As we saw in the Granger and Gregory (1935, 1936) reconstruction, this beast was 6 m (18 feet) tall at the shoulder and probably weighed 15-20 tonnes."
But as the pages before states, Donald Prothero is cautionary about using the old study. Also, this featured article states the height of Paraceratherium at 4.8 m which many authors concur, so the 15-20 tonne range may not be a correct wording. Junsik1223 (talk) 12:22, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Would you be so kind as to help me with my article on the Japanese fire-bellied newt? I think it's pretty close, and I almost nominated already, but decided it would wiser to wait and seek assistance from someone with more experience. I tried nominating it for a peer review, but the comments I received were vague and rather unhelpful (and the person who left them apparently vanished), so I figured it would be better to seek a more direct route (and one that Wikipedia itself strongly encourages).

Thank you today for Réunion swamphen, introduced (in 2020): "It's been a while since we've had an extinct mystery bird at FAC, and here's one of the most enigmatic ones. The few things known about the bird are covered here, and there is probably little more that can ever be said about it until a fossil is some day found. Since it is only known from contemporary accounts, most of these are included, similar to how most sources treat the bird. It is therefore rather quote heavy (with commentary on these when available), since merely summarizing them would need unwarranted OR interpretation, and would be less interesting."! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:39, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi. In our edit-comments exchange about the Dodo article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodo ) you wrote: (I do, I wrote this article and took it to multiple reviews where no one complained about that issue, and that consensus is what determines the layout. If you have a problem, bring it up it up on the talk page so it can be evaluated by others instead of edit-warring.)
I do was a direct response to my comment that you don't get to impose your software preferences upon other people. I would suggest that, just because you wrote the article, that doesn't mean you get to expect that the way you view a page is the same way others will. Your browser setup is neither more nor less "standard" than mine or anyone else's.
I identified a layout problem that affects the way the article will be seen and understood by probably a great many visitors to the page, and I came up with a minor change to the wording that will correct the problem and make it read better in both your setup and mine, and likely a great many others as well. Instead of allowing the edit to stand, you have insisted on reverting it numerous times. I would remind you that it is YOU who started an "edit war" over this; any reasonable editor would see the sense of it and let it stand as the improvement that it is.
However many "reviews" it has undergone is irrelevant, if none of those reviewers recognize the problem. Their reviews plus mine: this is how consensus is reached.
As for bringing it up in the Talk page, I'll do as you suggest; however, you know as well as I do that a few people might see it there, fewer still would bother to investigate it, and nothing will change. And this is why Wikipedia has the editing policy that it does: so that a community of editors can come up with the best possible encyclopedia.
I'm asking you politely to reconsider, put your ego aside (there can be no other reason for your obstinacy), and either return the page to the edited form I suggested, or come up with a wording, yourself, that does away with the layout problem. rowley (talk) 17:58, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

The article Rodrigues night heron you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Rodrigues night heron for comments about the article, and Talk:Rodrigues night heron/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.
