Tyrannosauridae

Hey, I've noticed that you are the second major contributor of the article. I have been doing some cleanup of the article, and if don't mind, I will nominate it for wp:GAN. Thanks, Nergaal (talk) 04:02, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to make sure that it is ok to go ahead with teh article for a GAN and that the main contributors are ok with this. Nergaal (talk) 03:20, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just a quick question: why didn't you guys submit the Cultural depictions of dinosaurs for GAN yet? Nergaal (talk) 00:44, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I read the discussion and dobody specifies anything against nominating it. The only possible concern that might not be solvable during a GAN is the comprehensibility - in my opinion it looks good. Otherwise, the style issues can be solved. Again, to me it looks good. But I guess it is up to you if you want to nominate it. Nergaal (talk) 02:04, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually better: the worst thing that could normally happen is to fail with some clear comments, and then with those comments someone can update the article and resubmit it for GAN. Nergaal (talk) 02:34, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. Does this look ok to you? Nergaal (talk) 03:57, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot!

Hey man, thank you a lot for updating the dino portal while I was absent. It saved me a lot of hard work tonight. I'm gonna put you on the secondary maintainer slot - you really deserve it. How have you been anyway? I see two more articles made it featured! : ) Spawn Man (talk) 08:52, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats, J

Just saw this. Way cool! :) Firsfron of Ronchester 21:13, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! J. Spencer (talk) 02:37, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dude, I totally saw that article the other day. Was that you that was quoted in the article, J. Spence? Abyssal (talk) 04:36, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

'Tis (this is a nom de wiki ;) ). J. Spencer (talk) 14:50, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I had no idea you were involved in such awesomeness. I envy the hell out of you.Abyssal (talk) 15:48, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I'm a bit surprised we haven't had IPs adding stuff from the press releases or documentary yet. J. Spencer (talk) 21:27, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Leonardo isn't a "terrifying meat-eater related to T. rex", so don't hold your breath. I guess I could log in as an IP and randomly add some stuff in, if it makes you feel any better... ;) Firsfron of Ronchester 22:43, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, it's no biggie. Eventually we got the lost and found Royal Ontario Barosaurus story, so this one should creep in at some point. The exhibit opening in Houston was pushed back a week because of Hurricane Ike, too. J. Spencer (talk) 22:51, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA of Cultural depictions of dinosaurs

Ooh, this greenness is rather nice, isn't it? Creates a nice, calm atmosphere. Now, where was I? Oh yes - your GA nomination. Due to some problems, mainly with the lead, the article is on hold - you have 7 days to edit it in accordance with my review (oh, what power I have!). I hope it passes - weebiloobil (talk) 21:21, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Albertonykus

Hey I am new to Wiki and I am working on a project of my Evolution of Vert. class at NSU. I am trying to do my ref. but you just did something and now the page isn't showing my work. The numbers ref. my citations, I just haven't figured out how to put them in yet. this page will be under construction for the next week. I promise you that I have citations for all of my information. My teacher is going to be checking my progress of the next week and I am not sure if he will be able to see what I have done now. I have been researching Albertonykus for a while now and I finally compiled all my information to post it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AshleyNSU (talk • contribs) 03:24, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Irano-Afgan

Hi I saw you edited on the Irano-Page, just a quest. Should we keep the sources used can these be seen as offensive? Its the Iranian plateau ones that end up with the big noses still. And also one source have been modified so further down there is this Dienikes page which are using texts from from James a Gregor called "Nordicism revisited" which can be seen as offensive. Is this a disrespect to nords or to James Gregor? So should we keep the sources or remove them I already sent an e-mail to this Dienikisboy asking him to remove the speciik text but he didn´t so whats your opinion? Cyrus111 (talk) 15:23, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Cyrus111;

I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar enough with the topic to comment on sources. I just periodically disambiguate the term morphology, and Irano-Afghan came up in one of my earlier sweeps. I have fixed another wikilink for the article, though. If a source is authoritative, it should be used, although for basic information I would probably stick to the early 20th century anthropologists instead of modern websites. J. Spencer (talk) 16:22, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, well 2 sources are from coon the other from shool of Athens both from 20th century, so keep them??? I like how it unifies people and creates affinity and learns about history the problem is the texts that are put in the one from school of Athens where it has been modified, and also there is the text from Mr. Gregor. I should probably get more opinions on this matter so to reach a consensus Cyrus111 (talk) 16:59, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dinosaur Park Formation

Awesome job documenting its inhabitants. However, does that Dinosaur Provincial Park: A Spectacular Ancient Ecosystem Revealed book actually list all the species and you substituted "at least # species" for all the names or was it listed like that in the original publication?
