Nomen manuscriptum

Hi. I noticed you used the above term in List of dinosaur genera. Could you please point me to a peer-reviewed article which used the term? And what exactly does it mean? Thank you Na Tra (talk) 23:05, 17 December 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Con Mèo Ú Tim (talk • contribs)

Thanks for clarifying. I have added the term in the terminology section of the article Na Tra (talk) 12:36, 18 December 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Con Mèo Ú Tim (talk • contribs)

Dinosaur Classification

Hello! I am OviraptorFan, although I had been working here for a couple weeks now, I now have an account! Anyways, there are alot of dinosaur genera that haven't been placed into the scientific groups they belong in. So I have been working on putting them there so they don't remain forgotten, would you perhaps like to help me with them?OviraptorFan (talk) 13:43, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

Exactly what do you mean by "placed into the scientific groups they belong in"? Atlantis536 (talk) 23:42, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

Pretty much dinosaurs that simply aren’t shown on the family tree lists. For example, gobiraptor wasn’t on the oviraptorid list until I added it(it was back when I still didn’t have an account and just did it anonymous) so things like that. Did that help you understand what I meant? OviraptorFan (talk) 13:46, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

I see. I'll try to do my best. Atlantis536 (talk) 12:42, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Update: I'm done with the A's. I deliberately excluded the dubious dinosaurs. Will do the other letters soon. Atlantis536 (talk) 13:55, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

And now done with the B's. Atlantis536 (talk) 14:14, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

I actually did alot of the B's, except Bienosaurus. Because of that, I created the Scelidosauridae, think you can help me with that page? OviraptorFan (talk) 18:28, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

The page looks good as of now. We'll just see what the other dinosaur experts of Misplaced Pages would do with the page. Atlantis536 (talk) 23:02, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Now I'm done with the C's. You're doing a really good job, keep it up. I mostly put sauropodomorphs which were strangely forgotten. Atlantis536 (talk) 06:52, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

About Galleonosaurus

Hi Atlantis536,
The doi for this ozzy boi - oops, we're not on Reddit - let's start again.
Hi Atlantis536,
The Journal of Paleontology reference you started this article with appears to be from 1999, not 2019. Its Digital object identifier appears to be unrelated to this particular article. Could you possibly explain this?
Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 09:37, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

I think it's because the end of the paper title is the phrase "Qantassaurus intrepidus Rich and Vickers-Rich 1999", though I may be wrong. Here's the link to the paper itself: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-paleontology/article/new-smallbodied-ornithopods-dinosauria-neornithischia-from-the-early-cretaceous-wonthaggi-formation-strzelecki-group-of-the-australianantarctic-rift-system-with-revision-of-qantassaurus-intrepidus-rich-and-vickersrich-1999/D6FEF2CD3EC1CAAD8F41B6ED73EC356C (Click "View HTML" to access the paper full text) Atlantis536 (talk) 10:09, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for explaining that. TIL... oops, we're not on Reddit.

Thank you for explaining that. I have JSTOR and other online scholarly journal access. I'll fix that up ASAP. Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 11:39, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. Also, do you have Reddit or are you just joking? Atlantis536 (talk)

Apologies for the Reddit mention. Yes, in some ways I was just joking. I in no way meant to startle you about this. Please let me know if I can help you in any way at all about the English language Misplaced Pages. Peter in Australia ak --Shirt58 (talk) 12:51, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

Taxon templates

Regarding your recent change in the Template:Sauropodomorpha, do you feel strongly about having this template (and others) expanded by default rather than collapsed? The collapsed state was requested in a recent FAC and met with agreement there. The templates are just too large and overwhelming. We can discuss at the WikiProject if you wish. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 18:51, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Honestly, I have no stance. The reason I made the templates expanded is because that's how they were before and that I was unaware of that discussion. Sorry. Besides, the Theropoda and Sauropodomorpha templates, despite their size, would only show their unexpanded subsections when set as "expanded", and a subsection would only be expanded when specified on an article. For example {{Sauropodomorpha|B.}} would only expand the basal sauropod section.

Still, I could revert them if you wish. Atlantis536 (talk) 00:45, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. The first subsection is always expanded though, and takes a lot of space. I really would argue that we should collapse them per default, though I just see that it is possible to collapse/expand on an per-article basis ("state=collapsed"). But I can ask first at WikiProject Paleontology if you think that some editors might possibly disagree. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 10:48, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

I see. It appears the templates were set to "autocollapse", which makes them appear collapsed even if the template is set to open on a particular subsection on a page. I guess I'll revert them to "collapsed". Atlantis536 (talk) 13:11, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Perfect, thank you very much! --Jens Lallensack (talk) 13:40, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

You're welcome! Atlantis536 (talk) 14:36, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Re:2020 in archosaur paleontology

Thank you for your kind words. As for why/how I'm doing this, it mostly boils down to the fact that I'm interested in paleontology myself, which is why I try to keep up with the literature (mostly by checking journal websites, but sometimes I find out from a reference in a different paper, from Dinosaur Mailing List, Twitter, or just by accident), and, taking the sheer volume of the literature into account, why I find it helpful to have a resource where all of this can be written down. But I'm glad to hear that someone besides me finds these articles useful. Regards --188.146.128.146 (talk) 08:36, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

You're welcome. I believe the Dinosaur Mailing List found your work helpful too (If I remember correctly, they especially liked how you update the minor things about the articles themselves!) Atlantis536 (talk) 10:04, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Some help please?

Hi Atlantis 536. Please help me figure it out ;) What's the difference between "Gorgosaurus" and "Gorgosaur". In some places it has "SAURUS" and in some places it has "SAUR". I saw this pattern for many dinosaurs. which one is correct? and what's the difference? HamidMsv (talk) 10:44, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Both are correct, depending on the context. Gorgosaurus is the genus name, the first part of its scientific name, like the Homo in Homo sapiens. "Gorgosaur" is a common name, as "dog" is the common name of Canis lupus familiaris, but it is based on the genus name. When referring to the genus, always use the "-saurus", although you can use "saur" in informal contexts. Atlantis536 (talk) 14:06, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Re:Ameghiniana

I must admit I forgot to check Ameghiniana recently, which is why I missed the description of Ninjatitan until someone else added it. I'm not intentionally ignoring this journal, though, and if memory serves, in the past I added several studies published there to the "year in paleontology" pages.--188.147.102.152 (talk) 18:17, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

I noticed that you also brought this subject up in the WikiProject Palaeontology talk page, so I will also add that the horse you mentioned, Hypohippidium, seems to have been named in 1957, while 2013 seems to be just the year of the online publication on the Ameghiniana website. I tend to add examples to the articles about the last few years in paleontology and rarely edit older articles, because listing every discovery from every single year in the history of paleontology would be impossible for me.--188.147.102.152 (talk) 18:41, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

I see. Again, thanks for all you've done! Atlantis536 (talk) 00:44, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Junior synonym or probable junior synonym?

Hello Atlantis536. would you take a look at "Gigantoscelus" in the List of dinosaur genera. is it junior synonym or probable junior synonym of "Euskelosaurus"? (cause it has a separate page). And there's one more; in the letter E, "Euacanthus" is nomen nudum and junior synonym at the same time! is it true? Thanks. Hamidaal (talk) 14:00, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

I would say Gigantoscelus is a probable junior synonym of Euskelosaurus, which is why it has its own page. Also, a taxon can be a nomen nudum and a junior synonym at the same time. For example, "Ajancingenia" is a nomen nudum because its description was suppressed because of plaigiarism, but is also a junior synonym of Heyuannia. And please sign your comments. Atlantis536 (talk) 12:41, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

I just saw your comment. OK! Thanks! Hamidaal (talk) 20:43, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

DYK for Australotitan

On 21 June 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Australotitan, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Australotitan is the largest dinosaur discovered in Australia? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Australotitan. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Australotitan), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Goio-Erê Formation age

Some paleontologists says the formation belongs to Aptian-Albian, some says it's from Turonian to Campanian.

South American Ceratopsids?

Do you think that we will find ceratopsid genera in South America sooner or later since there have been saurolophine hadrosaurs and nodosaurs discovered in South America already? 2604:CB00:1109:2000:2DAB:D495:6A24:4266 (talk) 03:07, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

It is taking so long for such an important fossil genus to be given the respect of a published scientific name already. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:CB00:110A:DB00:9DCE:1612:7A9A:D844 (talk) 00:37, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

I cannot say. But until a paper is out, you shouldn't add it to the 2022 in archosaur paleontology page. Atlantis536 (talk) 00:53, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

More Anurognathids from the Cretaceous Period.

Are We ever going to discover any more anurognathid pterosaurs from the Cretaceous period soon?

Is this possibly an anurognathid?

Or this?
