Thank you today for the article "about a ceratopsian dinosaur which is unusual for its large snout and similarity to a Texas Longhorn. This is perhaps also why it has gained a bit of fame recently by being featured in the Jurassic World franchise. Everything published about it should be summarised here, and luckily there are a lot of nice, free images available. Note that a Master's thesis (Ridgwell) that was also used in the FA Kosmoceratops is included here for comprehensiveness, as it does not present controversial information."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:12, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Should we move or at least put a question mark in the Stenonychosaurus if the Neotype is granted and or another paper comes out going along with and even citing the latest paper on the subject? Bubblesorg (talk) 16:27, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As Darren Naish points out, this is just one paper, and we already know there are dissenters, so it will not be the last word on the issue. If scientific consensus is ever reached, then we can do something. ~~

Wait there is a Darren Naish paper? --Bubblesorg (talk) 15:29, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Way too soon for that, it was just a Facebook comment. But there are other recent papers with another group that disagree with using the name Troodon for anything but the holotype tooth. They're likely to respond. FunkMonk (talk) 16:03, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm seeking mentorship for my first FA nomination. I've been working extensively on Alicella gigantea, which just received the "Good Article" status today. I saw that mentorship was highly recommended, so I thought it would be good to reach out. I thought you would be perfect for this as you seem to have plenty of experience working on species articles. I know you usually work on vertebrates, but would you be interested?

Many thanks
