[edit] Ornithocherirus

I changed the Ornithocheirus size thing in Paleontological Innacuracies, next time i visit the article, its been reverted back to saying Quetzalcoatlus is larger. I looked at the articles for both, Wikipedia itself give Ornithocheirus a wingspan of 40, and Quetzalcoatlus, only 39. Therefore, i will edit the page again and do not want to see it changed back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.123.24.40 (talk) 02:12, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Prehistoric Planet

You know, I'm been thinking about Prehistoric Planet. It's not really part of a series, but more of a spin-off kind'a. Because the Trilogy of Life consits of Walking with Dino..., Walking with Beasts, and Monsters not Prehistoric Planet. --4444hhhh (talk) 16:32, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bruhathkayosaurus

This genus is founded on very scrappy and poorly described material - many dino-workers doubt it was a sauropod, or even animal, at all. Asserting as a fact that it was the biggest sauropod is unjustified. I'll take the liberty of toning down the language a bit. Orcoteuthis (talk) 12:05, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Argentinosaurus is the biggest well-known dinosaur. Brut. is only known from some fragmentary remains and its size is a mere estimate, while Amphicoelus is known from a single vertabrae, subsequently lost. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Metalraptor (talk • contribs) 22:20, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wishful Thinking and Apologetics

We can not think up scenarios that would justify the artistic license and sloppy research done for Walking with series. We can not suggest that Utahraptor may have been able to cross two seas or go by way of Alaska and Asia to reach Europe, especially since no fossils of Utahraptor have been found outside of Colorado. The same thing for Pangaea: just because everybody lived on the same supercontinent does not mean that everyone would have lived in the same region. The regions of Siberia and South Africa were very different even 250 million years ago, and there is no evidence found that suggests that the fauna of Permian South Africa migrated from one end of Pangaea to the other.--Mr Fink (talk) 16:00, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

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

Image:Wws.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 insure 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] The Next Chapter

I saw the next chapter on TV. It really shouldn't be a separate "walking with", its just a PC remix of the first one. I managed to get through the Triassic and part of the Morrison episode before flicking the TV off, and not much had changed. The Ornitholestes, for example, was still featherless and had the innacurate nose. The only thing that did change was the commenting, and the order of the scenes to cut out some of the more risque stuff (Postosuchus marking territory, cynodonts leaving their offspring behind...now they "take them with them") —Preceding unsigned comment added by Metalraptor (talk • contribs) 22:08, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

They did correct some material though, by giving Liopleurodon a more reasonable size of 40 feet. And since they're merely changing the narration it would be extremely tedious to change the raptors with feathers. They also mixed in some footage of what I think is either Dinosaur Planet or When Dinosaurs Roamed America. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ameratsu (talk • contribs) 01:50, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

That would be freaky. Well, they also did correct one thing in the Triassic episode, fixing the location, instead of a desert, to a scrub forest, or something like that. But the main change was the narration and the PC correctness. By the way, how could they use clips from W.D.R.A. and D.P.? They use two different animations styles and are created by different people, right? I know Roamed America is, because the animation isn't as good as Walking With —Preceding unsigned comment added by Metalraptor (talk • contribs) 22:19, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Complete guide to prehistoric life.jpg

The image Image:Complete guide to prehistoric life.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
  • That this article is linked to from the image description page.
