{{Paleo-amphibian-stub}}

Hi - I see you have recently created one or more new stub types. As it states at Wikipedia:Stub, at the top of most stub categories, and in many other places on Wikipedia, it is recommended that new stub types are proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it is otherwise correctly formatted, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies. Your new stub type is currently listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Discoveries - please feel free to make any comments there as to any rationale for this stub type. And please, in future, consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 00:20, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey

Am I correct in guessing that you like dinosaurs? :P Thanks for editing paleo articles, it seems a lot of the paleo crew aren't as active as they used to be. Abyssal (talk) 21:07, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Yep, but not only I am interested in dinosaurs, i am also interested in paleontology in general. And yes I must agree with you about the paleo crew not being so active lately (I fell like i am the only one on wikipedia on working on this subject). ~Dinosauria Feb-5-09

Mamenchisauridae and Omeisauridae

Hello, Dinosauria;

It may be useful at this point to redirect either one or both of Mamenchisauridae and Omeisauridae to Mamenchisaurus and Omeisaurus, because: both families are only in limited use, due to the limited current understanding of basal sauropods in general; and they are essentially the same thing (in fact, Omeisauridae as conceived by Wilson in 2002 is a junior synonym of Mamenchisauridae). J. Spencer (talk) 01:17, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Please don't remove CFD tags

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Categories for discussion notices from categories, as you did with Category:Paleontology in video games. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of a category, please comment at the respective page instead. Pagrashtak 14:37, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I only did that because i saw the message on that page about being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's category deletion policy. so i thought i would removed it for you, it wont happen again. ~Dinosauria Feb-5-09

New page edit summaries

Do not just replace the name of the article in the edit summary. Consider not filling it in at all or writing "creating page for genus". Thanks --DFS454 (talk) 19:36, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Acastocephala

Please provide some references in reliable third party sources for this article or it may be deleted. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 02:23, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

i have added one at least one so far for Acastocephala, Thanks for letting me know about that. Dinosauria February 2009

Update: I have added 2 more sources for Acastocephala. Dinosauria February 2009

Remopleurides and a few others

Hello Dinosauria: Please, be careful, remember that genus and species should always be in italics. I fixed a couple, but I see that there are several others that need to be fixed. Don't forget to take care of that please. Thanks, --Polinizador (talk) 20:56, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Aayemenaytcheia

HI, I can't find any info on this. Can you expand? Otherwise I am tempted to take in to AFD.. Himalayan 20:38, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 03:00, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Behemosaurus & Pyrokerberus & Antillodaeodon & Arbaxoceras

Where do you have the information from about these animals? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.175.50.78 (talk) 18:44, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Please provide citation for these article stubs, or they stubs will be deleted. --Animalparty-- (talk) 16:30, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

I just noticed your response to the previous query at User talk:84.175.50.78. Deviantart is not at all a reputable source for scientific knowledge. Unless or until these species are described in legitimate scientific literature, they should be considered as purely fictional creations. --Animalparty-- (talk) 17:04, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Update My bad.. I thought these where real animals...I'll be more carfule Dec 19, 2015

Proposed deletion of Arachaeosphaeroides

The article Arachaeosphaeroides has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Can't find any indication this is actually a real name used for a genus of extinct bacteria (valid or not). Zero non-Wikipedia hits on Google, no hits on GScholar or ScienceDirect, and the only ref given is (per Amazon) a children's book about extinct species that can't be searched on Amazon or Google (and the article's author failed to provide a page number). Hardly a reliable scientific resource, especially in the absence of any other sources.
