[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:JurassicParkSPINO2.jpg

Image:JurassicParkSPINO2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Feathers on Velociraptors (with better references)

I put back in the info about velociraptor feathers and tyrannosuarus scavenging that was deleted with the scientific accuracy section, rewriting it from the more of a design standpoint rather than an accuracy standpoint (at least the velocirator-feather isssue), and trying to find better references. Its not original research as far as I can see, and the Velociraptor article (a featured article) goes into even more depth about this film in its popular culture section. I personally feel that this is one of the most interesting things about this film. i think that feathered dinosaurs in a blockbuster film is something of an event in terms of the scientific community's bird/dinosaur evolution debate and its history with the general public. If you disagree, take it out of the article, but it would be nice if we could discuss it here first! Maybe it would be best to just link to the velociraptor article's discussion... the : Biological issues in Jurassic Park]] article also has a little bit about htis issue, so it wouldn't be the end of the world i suppose if that info doesn't make it into this particlar article (although i think it should). --RainbowWerewolf (talk) 17:17, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

• I believe I was the one who took out the scientific accuracy section originally, but I have no problem with the way to put the material back in. I am not sure I agree that feathered dinosaurs in a movie is as significant as you make it out to be, but it is interesting nonetheless. When I removed the information, it was in a separate scientific accuracy section, which I think is not relevant to discussing the move itself. You have reinserted the information as part of the movie making process, however, ie describing how the crew went about designing the dinosaurs for the movie. Maybe this is a pointless distinction and I am just splitting hairs, but I consider the old way the information was presented as irrelevant and the way it is presented now as just fine.

[edit] T. Rex

The film also portrays Tyrannosaurus as being partly a scavenger and less powerful/aggressive, reflecting the controversy among scientists surrounding that issue.

Jack Horner is the only palaeontologist I know of who still seriously suggests that T. Rex was an obligate scavenger; the "controversy" over T. Rex's predatory prowess doesn't really exist in the scientific community, where there is evidence to suggest that it preyed on living animals (healed bite marks in the bones of Edmontosaurus.) Last I checked, the general concensus was that T. Rex was an opportunistic predator that would probably scavenge if given the chance. I've edited the article to reflect the scavenger hypothesis being Horner's opinion instead.

[edit] Trivia

I feel a Trivia section, should be added. I know these are usually deleted, but it could be useful for information about the "Biological Issues" and other miscellaneous notes. --JohnVMaster (talk) 05:02, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry but Trivia sections should Not be added to articles. At all. Ever. I suppose waht you could do is write a new section, named "Biological Errors" or something, and cite some good sources, otherwise I wouldn't advise it, it would most probably be deleted. Philbuck222 (talk) 20:35, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

• There is an entire article about those issues in the JP movies (Biological issues in Jurassic Park), there is no reason to add such stuff to the individual pages. But you could maybe link to it somewhere in the article, if it isn't already. Funkynusayri (talk) 20:49, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Use of 'produced'

In the section of Jurassic Park III, it says a movie was "produced" under the title of Jurassic Park: Extinction. I don't know the background, but it seems unlikely that a movie was produced and then shelved. Is that what is intended for readers to understand? Or am I misreading it?
