[edit] Nomenclature of Mononykus

Mononykus was originally named Mononychus in 1993, but later that year, the name was changed to Mononykus because Mononychus had already been used for a beetle named by Johann Schueppel, a German entomologist.

Mononychus presently redirects here. It shouldn't. Dysmorodrepanis 04:11, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Isn't the mole comparison an outdated idea from the early 90s? That quote from Storrs Olson appears very much outdated. It is from 12 years ago. Firsfron of Ronchester 07:40, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
