Overall: Article is great. It is new enough, long enough, well courced, neutral, plagiarism free and a QPQ is done. The image is ree, used in the article and clear. I had two queries: first, could you pop the citation in where I added ^{[citation needed]}? Secondly, I think the hook could be hookier - maybe mention the T-rex, or indeed that its named after a person? Otherwise all good! Lajmmoore (talk) 18:19, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

ALT1 ... that fossilized dinosaur feces (pictured) from the Poozeum was named for Tyrannosaurus discoverer Barnum Brown?
ALT2 ... that the Poozeum holds the largest known fossilized dinosaur feces (pictured), which may have come from a T. rex?
ALT3 ... that fossilized dinosaur feces (pictured) which may have come from a T. rex is held in the Poozeum?
@Lajmmoore: I've added the citation. Hooks are always the hardest part for me. I've added some alts above. gobonobo ⁺ ^c 02:49, 14 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Gobonobo: I totally know wha you mean - they are so hard! I think ALT1 and ALT3 work pretty well now. Thank you! Lajmmoore (talk) 06:55, 14 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Gobonobo and Lajmmoore: I think we should use an independent source would be needed to verify that the feces come from a T. rex, instead of citing the museum itself. Is such a source out there? theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 04:23, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Theleekycauldron: I've added a couple independent sources to verify the language we're using there. gobonobo ⁺ ^c 08:35, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
