[edit] Very Fine Images

You have made some excellent images for prehistoric beasts.My only suggestion is that you may want to (no offense intended) redo the Macrauchenia. Pronounce the neck a bit more as well as the trunk and make the feet a little wider. Other than that, keep up the good work! KnowledgeLord 04:36, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Apatosaurus

Firs, looks like you accidentally erased the Apatosaurus article! ArthurWeasley 00:40, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Ack! Thanks for letting me know. Geez, I hope there aren't others like that. Firsfron of Ronchester 00:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The best part of this job...

...is handing out awards!

		The Graphic Designer's Barnstar
		Arthur Weasley, for your excellent prehistoric artwork, I hereby present you with this barnstar, as a token of my appreciation for your hard work. Please continue to honor WP Dinosaurs with your lovely images. Firsfron of Ronchester 06:50, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You're unstoppable!

Wow Arthur, so many lovely dinosaur images! I'm very impressed. Just a heads up that Barosaurus, Riojasaurus, Lufengosaurus, Heterodontosaurus, and Lambeosaurus are on my to-do list, so we don't duplicate efforts. Again, well done on so many lovely illustrations.

Debivort, Thanks for your kind words. For Heterodontosaurus, sorry I've already done it (check on the image review page) but I am happy to let you do the others. I very much like your Diplodocus size comparison graph. Very neat. Will you be able to do something similar for other dinosaur genera ? Your Eoraptor in motion is cute too. Great work. ArthurWeasley 17:55, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I hadn't reconciled my list with your new images. Your Heterodontosaurus is very nice. Is there a page that lists genera needing illustration? We might think about making a project page with them, and then signing up our names to do them - to centralize the effort and make sure there's no redundant effort.

Doing a profile size comparison is straightforward enough to do for many genera, the skeleton required a bit of effort (~6hrs or so) and was very dependent on having lots of good images, so I'm not sure how easy that would be for an arbitrary genus. FWIW, expect a Barosaurus sketch soon. Debivort 18:06, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I've just created a to do list page on my user page: User:ArthurWeasley/To do list. I took the liberty of adding your to-do list so that I know what not to do. Please feel free to update when needed. ArthurWeasley 19:13, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

What would you say to moving it over to a Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs page, and advertising it among Firs, and Cas et al, so they could add to a third category in it: Requested Images? Debivort 20:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for coordinating efforts like this. I'm absolutely delighted at this turn of events: two artists illustrating the articles! Please don't stop illustrating dinosaur articles, though, Debivort! Even with a talented artist like Arthur, we are still woefully under-illustrated. We need your talents! :) Firsfron of Ronchester 19:25, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't plan on stopping, I just felt an impending need for coordination. Debivort 20:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stego revert

You beat me to the revert by seconds. I get three whole google hits on "Sagisaurus", none of them reliable. Thanks, Firsfron of Ronchester 07:37, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Just have. You can send warnings too, you know. (Not that you have to, or anything; just some people don't know they can). Thanks for your quick reflexes. Firsfron of Ronchester 07:54, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

P.S. I promise to have a good look and review your wonderful images on the image review page tomorrow, but I am dead tired and need to sleep. I am not intentionally ignoring your work, I swear! Best wishes, Firsfron of Ronchester 08:25, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
