Most of this article seems to be written with information from Walking With Dinosaurs (particularly to with it's size). It also fails to mention the "junk basket" nature of this taxon.

It is possible I'm just out of date on these matters. However, if no one speaks up, I'm going to delete most of the text. John.Conway 16:32, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Palaeornis", Cimoliornis, Cretornis, Ornithocheirus nomina nuda

Remove Ornithocheirus cliftoni ("Palaeornis"), O. diomedeus (Cimoliornis), O. hlavaci (Cretornis), O. "macrorhinus", and O. "oxyrhinus" from the Ornithocheirus species list because the former three species are nomina dubia and should be relegated to Pterosauria incerate sedis and the latter two species are nomina nuda. Ornithocheirus curtus may turn out to be congeneric with Pterodactylus, as originally named, and O. bunzeli and O. wiendenrothi may be azhdarchids intstead.

Um... these species are listed as mis-assigned. Only the two valid species listed by Unwin are listed as valid in the taxobox. Dinoguy2 02:44, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
