Well of course 'prosauropod' is a paraphyletic group (sensu stricto) so I'm assuming you mean any non-sauropod sauropodomorph (very complex...). Well I should have some down-time in the next few days when I'm settling into Cincinnati, so tell me which articles that you think could do with an over-haul and I'll try and have a look at them. Any further queries don't hesitate to ask. [[User:Mark t young|Mark t young]] 08:26, 21 October 2007 (UTC) |

Hi, Firs;
Thank you very much for having a look at the article! I put an idea on what to do with the typos on the talk page. J. Spencer 23:41, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I'd rather not clear the top slot, just because it would feel odd for a mere genus to be tops, but there are at least three topics left for Paleobio (feeding/hunting, social behavior, and brain/senses), plus redoing the lead, plus a pop culture section with some notable appearances for a change, so it probably reaches 80 k in the end.

Apparently, the block failed -- he continued to vandalise after the block. -- azumanga 02:49, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
User Adam Cuerden improper blocks
I noticed that you posted to User talk:Adam Cuerden about the Dematt block. He has since abusively blocked a new user, which compelled me to post on WP:ANI. Your input is welcome. -Nodekeeper 12:46, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- Adam's block of an apparent sockpuppet was perfectly legitimate. OrangeMarlin Talk• Contributions 14:37, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
I am far more concerned with Nodekeeper's actions in this instance, frankly.--Filll 15:26, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- What was wrong with starting a rational discussion on AN/I? Several of Adam's recent admin actions seem questionable (at least, they worry me, as I've said), so a rational discussion of a potential bad block seems reasonable to me. I don't see anything in Nodekeeper's actions which concern me. Firsfron of Ronchester 04:48, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- You've got mail. OrangeMarlin Talk• Contributions 23:59, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

thanks for the help!

Tense
Hi Firsfron,
Thank you for messaging me, I didn't realise that the show was from the 1950s when I corrected it because I wasn't taking a detailed look at my edits (I was just basically making sure my assisted editing didn't bork up any pages). I can tell you why I changed it though, it's because it's listed in the 2000 television series endings (probably for the NBC version).
I'm not exactly sure if past tense should be used on the article as I've never come across a situation such as this (I was editing pages listed in the 1990-2006 categories, so I never expected to run across any old shows). I won't revert you if you decide to change it back to "was" as it seems like there's a good case to use past tense.
The guideline you're looking for is WP:TENSE I think.
Have a good afternoon!

Italics
To make italic text, you need to use two ' symbols on each side of it, not one " symbol which gives you "non-italic text". See [1] Gene Nygaard 15:09, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Gene!
- As the article explains, "Prodhania" is a nomen nudum: it hasn't yet been formally described, and the name appears in quotation marks until a full description has been made. See here for example, or check a book with lists of dinosaurs in them (Lambert, 1993 for example, has a good one). The List of dinosaurs, a Featured List, includes several dinosaur names which appear in quotes, because they haven't been fully published (names without complete descriptions, images, etc), and are therefore not italicized as a proper generic name would be. You've also added italics to the name of the paper discussing the fossils. This is not correct. An article within a larger work appears in quotation marks; the larger work appears in italics. This is the same format used in Featured Articles Iguanodon, Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, etc, and the format supported by the WP:CITET templates. I'm reverting your changes for now. Best wishes and happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 17:40, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
- If you'd like, it's okay by me if you wan to move the discussion from my talk page to the Tree of Life project and ask for comment on it, rather than trying to start all over again. Gene Nygaard 00:16, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Actually, I just created that template myself only a few hours ago. Obviously, as with any new template, it needs its kinks worked out. --lincalinca 05:00, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
- Forgive my ignorance, but can you clarify what you meant by that, when you say "Higher taxo"? Anyway, I'm waiting to hear more feedback about it and will start to pour over adjustment suggestions (I've brought it up at the pump for a wide audience). How would you suggest I implement these changes? Such as:
taxo = Taxo-group sub-taxo = Sub taxo-group
- Again, sorry for my lack of knowledge when it comes to palaentology, dinosaurs, or even biology and anatomy. I never paid much attention in science classes in these fields. I was much more interested in mathematics and physics (because they were more closely related to music). --lincalinca 05:26, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, I've modified the template to accept both "species" which is the specific species, such as Lambeosaurus, while I also have "highspecies" which is Animalia and such, so that the user can specify a high specimen if necessary which will not italify, while sub-groups (selected simply as "species") will italify. Is that what you were after? --lincalinca 05:48, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
- For the purpose of keeping it simple, what if I just made it "hightax" and keep "species" as it is? I can indicate in the usage page that "species" reers to both genus and species and that "hightax" refers only to Higher Level Taxonomy (though I'd rather leave the specific wording to you, as you're clearly more of an expert in the field than I am). I'll put some basic info, but if you could let me know how it "really" should look, I'd appreciate the help! --lincalinca 06:24, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
Velociraptor fair use
Hi Firsfron, I am pretty sure that image is not fair use as otherwise we could use the depiction of anything in a film or tv programme in an article about that thing. I will consult further. Gustav von Humpelschmumpel 11:11, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, please re-read WP:NFC#10(a) as regards Fair Use images, a copyright holder must be provided, I know many people forget this, myself included, as well as most users I would say. Perhaps I did not use the correct deletion tag, however I could not find a more appropriate one, and I asked at WP:AN but nobody answered and my question was archived. Jackaranga 09:55, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
No problem, :) I also wanted to take up User:J. Spencers hadrosaur jaw diagram but I quikly realised it would take ages and i'm really buisy with Uni work. Got my dissertation to be writting :( Anyway, I'll post the results soon. Steveoc 86 12:10, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Drake Hogestyn
First, hello again. Second, I'd like your assistance in yet another dispute, this time regarding Drake Hogestyn, aka "John Black" from Days of Our Lives. I made some corrections and removed some redundant links, but CelticGreen continues to revert back. I have commented and explained my changes on his talk page, and he removed my comments, labeling the discussion as "irrelevant". He/she has accused me of knowing nothing about the character, and even less about being a Wikipedia editor. Please assist? Rollosmokes 06:01, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
Input requested
Well of course 'prosauropod' is a paraphyletic group (sensu stricto) so I'm assuming you mean any non-sauropod sauropodomorph (very complex...). Well I should have some down-time in the next few days when I'm settling into Cincinnati, so tell me which articles that you think could do with an over-haul and I'll try and have a look at them. Any further queries don't hesitate to ask. Mark t young 08:26, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
