[edit] Any particular reason...
Any particular reason that this article is getting loads of edits at the moment? It's great, of course, but just wondering if I'd missed some big collaboration drive or something. Or maybe it's just my imagination. Soo 21:32, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
- Well I updated Abelisaurus and then decided to update Abelisauridae too. Since then people have been copyediting it... no organized thing or anything though. Any suggestions? Sheep81 21:51, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] With a little work
You know, someone could make this a GA if they wanted to, without too much difficulty. J. Spencer 05:16, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- I've just nominated it. :) Firsfron of Ronchester 09:54, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] GA Status
The article has passed Sections 3), 4), 5) and 6) and needs corrections on Sections 1) and 2).
Overall, the assessment is ON HOLD.
1) Style
Anatomy section
- When a word has been wiki-linked, like, synapomorphies, there is no need to provide a "translation" by putting alternate words in brackets. Remove (defining features).
- Remove (eye socket)
- Remove (hand)
- Remove (wrist)
- Remove (upper ankle bones)
Taxonomy and systematics
- Wiki-link "taxon"
2) Accuracy
Classification sub-section
- Provide a reference for the claim "some scientists,,,,,"
- Jorge Calvo is a non-existent link
References
- All books, quoted as references, must have ISBN numbers.
3) Coverage - Article is broad in coverage and remains focused on the topic.
4) Neutrality - Article is writtem without bias.
5) Stability - Article is stable, without major edit wars.
6) Images - Two free, public domain images, and one copyright image, are used. No Fair Use images. Good use of images.
Corrections, as specified above, must be done within seven days. Contact me when they have been, and I shall re-assess.

- Thank you very much for the review, Tovojolo. I really appreciate your comments and suggestions. I made several changes to the article. I hope they are what you were looking for.
- I provided ISBNs for both of the books, and added two references for the Xenotarsosaurus claim. I removed the bit about Compsosuchus, as I couldn't find a good peer-reviewed source for it.
- I didn't want to remove the explanatory terms for things like synapomorphies: if the document is printed, the reader will be completely unable to tell what the term means. Similarly, dinosaur articles often appear on the Wikipedia CDs, which contain only a limited number of articles, and are unlikely to ever contain an article on synapomorphies (the CD editors just remove the wikilinks which will be red on the CD, meaning the person using the CD won't have a satisfactory explanation for any of the technical terms used in the article). What I ended up doing is using the explanatory term, wikilinking to the technical term. Does this seem reasonable? Firsfron of Ronchester 09:24, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
- Novas 2004, already cited in the article, would be your source for Compsosuchus. I can send you the PDF if you want. Sheep81 (talk) 16:04, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
- Also, your strategy on the wikilinks works on most except "astragalus and calcaneum (upper ankle bones)", because both of those are upper ankle bones, not just calcaneum like it says right now. Sheep81 (talk) 16:08, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] GA Status
I note that the the corrections that were required, have been carried, and I note too, the reasons for not carrying out some of the corrections. I do not regard those required corrections as being material. Therefore, I am pleased to announce that the article has achieved GA Status.
Congratulations,
