Comments by Dunkleosteus77

Looks good overall, just some grammar/style things User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 02:15, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Any reason you say "eurypterids" instead of "sea scorpions"? User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 02:15, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mainly because it is the academic term used in the papers. I could add that eurypterids are often called sea scorpions to the lead. Ichthyovenator (talk) 11:58, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In the future, you may choose to wikilink things like "basal" or "type genus" instead of "Asia" User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 02:15, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Got it. Ichthyovenator (talk) 11:58, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of saying "lanceolate" could you say "lance-like" or some such descriptor User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 02:15, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I added an explanation of the term, it is used so frequently in eurypterid papers that it might be best to use it here? Ichthyovenator (talk) 11:58, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Who're Clifton J. Sarle, Erik N. Kjellesvig-Waering, Leif Størmer, and Nestor Novojilov? User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 02:15, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have added their nationalities and occupations. Also linked Leif Størmer. Ichthyovenator (talk) 11:58, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think, "Until a more inclusive and well-resorved phylogeny of the superfamily can be produced..." is necessary User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 02:15, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, looking at it that part of the sentence feels unnecessary, removed. Ichthyovenator (talk) 11:58, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There's something not right with the source for File:Eurypterus Silurian Distribution.jpg because the map's not at the url and there's nothing on sea scorpions over there User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 02:15, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Odd. Should the image be removed? I'm not sure we have any good images to replace it in that case. Ichthyovenator (talk) 11:58, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like it's saying it's a derivative of something called File:SilurianGlobal.jpg which got deleted (I assume for copyright violations), so I'd say it probably shouldn't be on Commons User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 01:54, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the image from the article and will go about removing it from other articles where it is also used (Eurypterus, Eurypterina, Adelophthalmus). I do not know how to remove it from commons but I assume there is some process for that? Ichthyovenator (talk) 12:50, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated it for deletion (just use {{copyvio|Reason}}) User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 15:16, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ref no. 17 isn't formatted right User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 02:15, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Better now? Ichthyovenator (talk) 11:58, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It'll pass User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 15:16, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
