- Don't worry, so was I. Anyone who knows me in real life knows that I am, erm, somewhat colourful in my speech. (Do you know how hard it is bowdlerizing your speech all the time??) Said in all good humour. ;) cheers, Casliber | talk | contribs 02:47, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mystery
I don't know what the mystery is, but I hope it's a nice surprise...
1) I can't give you a list of dinosaur articles which need clean-up, aside from Libycosaurus (the only dinosaur article I'm aware of that has a clean-up template), but here's a bunch of articles which are in need of attention. Mostly they are in need of attention because they are too short, and need serious expansions to make them more comprehensive. Some probably can't be expanded a lot, but all could be in danger of deletion if a deletionist got his or her hands on them:
Xiaosaurus Velocisaurus Abelisaur Ingenia Wuerhosaurus Walgettosuchus Panoplosaurus Pterospondylus Chilantaisaurus Heilongjiangosaurus Kulceratops Phaedrolosaurus Atlascopcosaurus Fabrosaurus Becklespinax Kuszholia Stormbergia Dashanpusaurus Tianzhenosaurus Tsaagan Wellnhoferia Patagonykus Deinonychosauria Irritator Venenosaurus Astrodon Alvarezsaurus Mussaurus Platyceratops Marshosaurus

2) That could take a while. I usually just make them as I think of them. parietosquasomal frill, perhaps?
3) See List of dinosaur-bearing rock formations.
4) I left a brief list at the WP:Dinosaurs talk page. There are hundreds of other good ones, though. Firsfron of Ronchester 04:19, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry. I might be more help if I knew what I was compiling these lists for. Still, all the articles above are at least formatted correctly; there are a few which I feel are written in language which is too technical. Perhaps a list of those might be better? Firsfron of Ronchester 04:30, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, just ten articles. Well, clip the bottom ten off that list, and use them, perhaps? There are quite a few overly technical articles, in my opinion, but it will take a while to go thru them. Libycosaurus definitely needs work. I'm off for now. Best, Firsfron of Ronchester 04:43, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

There's no restriction, as far as I know. Kirill Lokshin 13:14, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Dino Portal
Hey, thanks for this new addition to the dino project. Liked it very much. May I suggest the addition of two new sections: a "Did you know" section (there are already a few that went onto the Main Page and ready to be recycled) and a "News" section (just to keep people updated on new discoveries and events). Cheers. ArthurWeasley 17:15, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- Go Spawn! If you get tired of doing those manually, let me know. I can WP:AWB them in a couple of hours. Firsfron of Ronchester 09:22, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] well done!
Well done! Archie's a FA now! Sabine's Sunbird talk 06:22, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 'tsalright...
I'm planning on getting through "a" tonight - but seriously, I'm beginning to question reality as you do when a mind numbing repettitive task arrises on here... Ahh well... at least I got Archie featured, of which hardly anyone has congratulated me for... *hint hint* ;) See you around... Thanks for the offer though, but this many edits towards my name is an oppurtunity I can't pass up... :) Thanks, Spawn Man 09:25, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Ugh. If it's too much, let me know, and I'll AWB them. No sense doing mindnumbingly boring work unless you really want to. Still, you're right; it does boost the edit count... ;) It's great to see you so active. As far as Archaeopteryx is concerned, everyone, including you, deserves a big pat on the back. Well done, Spawn Man. And the portal looks terrific. I was considering leaving a nice barnstar here on your talk page, but would it really matter? You've collected so many. Firsfron of Ronchester 09:35, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Deal! :) You won't have to do Styracosaurus, though, as I was already in the process of expanding that article when you began adding the templates. So you can cross that one off your list. Firsfron of Ronchester 09:44, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Alright, that odious chore is finished. I started at B, and J.Spencer started at Z, and we met somewhere in the middle. Now, the template itself is not quite in the right place: I used AWB's "append" function to add it to the very end of the article, because it took much less time that way. But it shows up just fine on the page, and the next time AWB is run on these pages, it will automatically convert it to the correct area. But you won't be able to tell the difference just looking at the article. So, no worries. Firsfron of Ronchester 02:00, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks
Thanks for the kind words about the new portal. I'm glad you liked it... :) I did consider creating both the sections you mentioned, but didn't for a couple of reasons - For the "In the news section", you have to have a link to Wikinews, which unfortunately doesn't have a private section for dinosaurs, only science. Dinosaurs aren't in the science section that often anyway, so that would mean we would have to create our own news for the portal - The way I created it was that it needed almost no maintainence whatsoever - the edition of this section would only increase that. Now for the DYK section - We've created all the dinosaur articles on the List of Dinos, & most other subjects have been created also, so I doubt there would be much action in that area. The only option there would be to have a selection of DYKs created for each article, & then have a sort of low maintainence system running much like the selected picture & article sections... Thanks again, your comments are appreciated & I'll see if we can add that DYK section in the future as that would be a great addition... :) Spawn Man 06:41, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- I was merely trying to find ways to boost your edit counts ;) ! For the "News" section, I was thinking more along the line of something maintained by the WP:Dinosaurs team, such as announcing new discoveries. They were quite a lot to report lately from Albertaceratops on January to the proof of the burrowing habits of Oryctodromeus in March. I guess Dinoguy and JSpencer who are on top of these things could contribute. Oh, BTW, congrats for Archie FA status!! What's up next? Cheers. ArthurWeasley 16:55, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hey!
Hey it's been a while since I last saw you. I see by the paragraph at the top that you're keeping your nose clean. :) — $PЯINGrαgђ 02:14, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yep, nose clean. Nice to have you drop by. It hasn't just been a while since you last saw me, in fact, you've never seen me! Lol... :) "See" you around Springy! Spawn Man 02:42, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
- I know - it's really a curse sometimes... ;) Spawn Man 02:45, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
OK OK lay off. ;) Happy early birthday by the way. — $PЯINGrαgђ 03:02, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

- Thanks. :) Spawn Man 03:05, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Portal update:
Just copy the {{Random portal component}} block, changing the links from "Selected picture" to "DYK" or whatever; then, create the subpages as you would for the other rotating sections. Kirill Lokshin 06:08, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
- You probably just put the call into the wrong div block. I've put up a shell on the portal page; you just need to create the subpages now. Kirill Lokshin 17:02, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Not the first time:
I'm informing you of my intentions ([1]). This is not the first time this has happened to me at a Dino FAC, probably because you all think I'm going to let a 90% article go through. I know how to write FAs & how to vote on them. For some reason you al think that my oppsoe is inactionable. Have you even read Wikipedia:The perfect article? "...is nearly self-contained; it includes essential information and terminology, and is comprehensible by itself, without requiring significant reading of other articles..." You have to admit, the article contains way too many links to other articles, which is completely different to what this page says. "is comprehensible by itself, without requiring significant reading of other articles" is what I'm opposing for. And I'm rueful that people I thought were my friends are attacking me & saying I'm wrong simply because they don't know a simple guideline of FAC. Gees.. Spawn Man 03:06, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Spawn Man,
- Who is attacking you? I'm definitely not. :) We are friends, and I hope we always will be. You should feel free to voice your opinions on an article. I did not say your comments weren't actionable, and would love to see you improve the article. Would welcome it, really. I did try to address the problems you mentioned, but since you are not yet happy with the state of the article, I hope you will take a hack at it. It can't hurt, right? Best wishes and happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 03:26, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Archie timeline
It looks like Y tambe is satisfied with the timeline. Where do you think it should go? Right after the specimen list, perhaps, or maybe at the end of the History and Discovery section? J. Spencer 04:03, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- The caption looks suitable to me. The only thing I was wondering about was the placement of the period versus (Click to enlarge), but I tried it in preview and it didn't look right with the period on the other side of the parenthetical note. J. Spencer 05:09, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
