Hi Benosaurus,
I've unfortunately had to delete the image you uploaded, Image:Labocania.PNG. Per the terms of use at Thinkquest.org, the image may be used "for personal use only". Uploading it to a public-accessed encyclopedia appears to violate those terms, so the image has been deleted. Sorry. Best wishes and happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 17:35, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
That's alright. I just thought that people could just get images from Google and put them here. I feel that if the dinosaur articles have pictures in them, people get a much better understanding of the creatures. Benosaurus 17:55, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Environmental Protection Userbox

Hi Benosaurus,

Thanks for using the userbox that I created (the one about supporting environmental protection). I'm glad that there're people in the world who care about the environment just as much as I do. Please encourage your friends to put up this userbox if they have accounts in Wikipedia. If you have any questions about environmental protection, please don't hesitate to contact me by wiki.

[edit] Re: Phobia Userbox

Hi Benosaurus,
It is a great idea, but there are too many phobias out there that it will take a long period of time to finish all of them. Besides, a lot of phobias are not well-known and many people have no idea what they mean. And some people won't admit that they are scared of certain things. OhanaUnited 03:21, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your last couple of image uploads

Hi, but I'm afraid the dinosaur images you uploaded are just going to be deleted, as they lack proper copyright info (unless you've gotten permission from the artist). Just citing the website isn't enough. J. Spencer 04:52, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Hmmmm... so what do I have to do to put pictures here? Do I always have to get permission from the artist? Benosaurus 14:50, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, unless: 1) the artist has been dead a certain number of years, so the image falls into public domain; 2) the image was created a certain number of years ago (again public domain); 3) the site already said it could be used; 4) or you yourself are the artist. The image use policy should help to clarify. J. Spencer 15:03, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rajasaurus

Hi, Benosaurus;

I know this must be getting frustrating, but you are so close this time. Check which copyright tag you're using. Right now it says the image is only for Wikipedia, so it's got an automated tag to delete. I'd go here: Wikipedia:Media_copyright_questions and ask them about the specific tag you should use. J. Spencer 15:11, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Upon further reflection, I'd check with Todd to make sure the specific images you selected are all right; familiarize yourself with the copyright tags, and send him a list of those images you'd like to use, with the conditions of the copyright tags. Then he can write back and tell you how he'd like his images to be licensed. I'd suggest looking at tags 1, 10, and 13-15 on this page for ideas Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags/Displayed_and_ranked. J. Spencer 15:59, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Well, I just asked if I could use some of his pictures. I didn't have anything in particular in mind. Benosaurus 16:39, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
I'd start with those you've already uploaded, since obviously you're interested in them. J. Spencer 16:45, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
So what you're saying is that I should e-mail Todd Marshall some of the copyright tags? I'm probably going to use more of his pictures, too. Benosaurus 17:06, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
I'd email him with a list of the images you'd like to use, and ask him which method of licensing would be most appropriate. J. Spencer 18:33, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Yes, but I may use more images later on than those that I say I will use. Benosaurus 19:04, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
You can always go back to him later. Just make out a quick list now, and if you change your mind in the future, you change your mind. I wouldn't expect it to be a big deal. As an artist, he'd probably be interested to know which images you want to use, too. J. Spencer 19:11, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
How about if I just ask what licensing method is good for all his pictures? Couldn't they all have the same copyright tags? Benosaurus 19:15, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

You certainly could, but keep in mind that at some point either Todd might say, "oh, no, not that picture," or someone may make trouble by asking if you got permission for each specific image. Bear in mind that I don't have a lot of experience with image licensing myself, so I'm trying to be very careful and spare you more work down the line. It should be all right at this point to just ask him about his preferred licensing, and then go from there. J. Spencer 19:43, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Can't I just pick the right copyright tag and move on? This is getting kinda frustrating. Benosaurus 17:16, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
If you know the right one, then definitely go ahead. Last time, though, you picked one that said it was not suitable (that's a trap, but that's another story). If that tag is indeed the intended one, it's going to be deleted. J. Spencer 22:37, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
So which one do you think I should use? Benosaurus 18:08, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure. His website says "Any reproduction without permission of Owner is strictly prohibited", and your description of the email exchange suggests that {{copyrighted}} (from: Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags/Deprecated) is the most appropriate, which unfortunately would be a problem. If it was {{CopyrightedFreeUseProvided}}, {{CopyrightedFreeUse}} (#12), or {{Attribution}}, that would be different, but would he agree to something like those? J. Spencer 01:33, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
All right! Now you've got it! J. Spencer 04:59, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
WHOOHOO! Benosaurus 16:48, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spinosaurus vs. Tyrannosaurus

Hi Ben,

This page seems to have some serious problems in terms of encyclopedic content. The article needs citations, for starters: basic references which back up the sentences you have written. If these cannot be provided, then the article is original research, which is expressly forbidden on Wikipedia. Further, this article really is only a discussion of something which occurred in Jurassic Park III. Whatever citable content there is should probably truthfully be moved over there. Firsfron of Ronchester 04:07, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

It's based on my general knowledge. You can delete it if you want. Benosaurus 16:47, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suchosaurus

Looks good to me. :) Mgiganteus1 18:16, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rhabdodon family

Checking TaxonSearch, it doesn't look like "Tenontosauridae" has ever been named in the literature, so it doesn't exist. Possibly some original research going on there. Rhabdontontidae was named by Weishampel et al. 2003 and usually includes at least Rhabdodon and Zalmoxes, but I'm not really up on my ornithopod phylogeny so its contents could have changed recently. Dinoguy2 03:56, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Maybe I should just lay off making Rhabdodontidae. Benosaurus 04:01, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
DinoData has Tenontosaurus placed in "Iguanodontidae, not sure how up to date this is, it's usually paraphyletic. i'd notl ist a family. If you can find some decent info on the history of the family and some scientists opinions on its current content, it might be a useful entry (unfortunately I don't have any of that info :) ).

[edit] Spinosaurus or T-Rex?

I thought it was the T-Rex at the runway that also ate those dudes. I'll watch the movie again, but I thought for sure it was a T-Rex. I'll leave it as spinosaurus since you seem pretty sure that's what it is, especially since you have an interest in paleontology. Sorry about the mistake man, the whole article is so messed up with spelling and other left out things that I can't tell what's true or false. The Architect 01 14:17, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey dude, no need to apologize about this, it may very well be that I made a mistake about the dinosaurs and this is all my fault. I promise that I won't make any changes until I watch the movie again to make sure my info is 100% accurate. The Architect 01 16:30, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
