Hello!I see your edits frequently on my watchlist, especially with regards to new taxa, so I thought I'd drop by and say hello. Keep up the good work! J. Spencer (talk) 04:10, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
Heads up!Hi, Rnnsh; I just found out about these, and since I can't get to them until later, I thought I would pass them on to you:

IchthyosauriaHi, Rnnsh; I am interested in contributing, but I can't make any specific promises this time of the year. I will be around, though. J. Spencer (talk) 01:22, 18 December 2010 (UTC) AutopatrollerHi Rnnsh, I enjoyed reading one of your articles at newpage patrol, and after checking through some more of your work I have taken the liberty of flagging your account as WP:Autopatrolled. This entitles you to display this userbox {{User wikipedia/autopatrolled}}, and indicates that in my judgement the articles that you create are likely to belong here. Cheers and happy editing.

Extinct turtlesHi! I see you have been creating extinct turtle articles. I've create this template above just to navigate between extinct turtle articles. If there is anything that should be changed/corrected please go right ahead and edit the template (edit is the 'e' in v.d.e top left). If you create more extinct turtle articles it would be helpful if you could add the template at the bottom. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 02:29, 17 January 2011 (UTC) LeonerasaurusThanks for helping :) However, please do NOT move refs into the main text! it is annoying to have to search for the all over.

New dinosaursHallo, Rnnsh! I see you have qualified the four new dinosaurs of this week as nomina nuda. However, the articles describing them are apparently part of a special volume, the Proceedings of the Third Gondwanan Dinosaur Symposium. This book has been published on 16 March. So they are all valid names. Not that I have the volume or the correct citation yet :o), but nevertheless... Greetings, --MWAK (talk) 19:18, 18 March 2011 (UTC) Editing noteHi, Rnnsh; I just wanted to remind you to avoid directly taking sentences from original sources. For short usages, like a single sentence, you can use quotation marks, but it's best to restate material if at all possible. Thank you, and keep up the good work! J. Spencer (talk) 00:53, 29 March 2011 (UTC) Amphibamidae and DoleserpetontidaeThanks for pointing that out, I didn't realize that Doleserpetontidae was a junior synonym when I created its taxonomy page. I'm not sure if it was the proper way to do it, but I redirected Template:Taxonomy/Doleserpetontidae to Template:Taxonomy/Amphibamidae. Redirecting pages would be an easy fix if you ever come across this problem again in the future. And I also appreciate the work you do, especially in creating pages for new species. They seem to appear almost every day! Smokeybjb (talk) 23:56, 5 April 2011 (UTC) ArchaeocursorI'm not sure if you're aware, but "Archaeocursor" was an April Fools joke started on a Polish message board. Please stop adding it to dinosaur articles. If you knew about this, please think twice before adding hoaxes to Wikipedia next time. MMartyniuk (talk) 21:10, 6 April 2011 (UTC) Rnnsh, I notice you added a reference in this article to the paper entitled "Basalmost theropod with filamentous integumentary structures and new clade of basal 'carnivorous' dinosaurs". Did you read the information in this paper? If not, please do not add references to papers that you did not read the information in. See WP:SAYWHEREYOUGOTIT.

The name Eosuchia has not been used very often in recent years because the it is generally regarded as a paraphyletic group of early diapsids. Laurin's definition makes it include pretty much all diapsids except Araeoscelidia. Many amniotes would be left out of the group, including parareptiles, protorothyridids, and turtles (if you don't consider them diapsids). So Eosuchia and Amniota wouldn't be synonymous.

Casliber (talk · contribs) 08:04, 21 August 2011 (UTC) OrnithischiansUnfortunately, this is something that won't be settled until Phylocode. For now, it's probably best to go with either the most recent usage or the original usage. MMartyniuk (talk) 12:44, 3 September 2011 (UTC) SuuwasseaYou changed the template to include suuwassea in Dicraeosauridae--is there a recent source to back this up? Both the original paper and cranial osteology find that it is basal to the split between Diplodocidae and Dicraeosauridae, but I don't have the complete osteology paper. As the templates are not watched by a lot of editors, please refrain from changing them without first backing up any change in the article for the taxon itself. MMartyniuk (talk) 12:34, 9 September 2011 (UTC) Edit summaryIn undoing my edit, you wrote "family doesnt named with the sp as in most recently named genera in paleo. (like in basal romerids, basal tyrannosauroids, basal iguanodonts, ect... etc...)". What does this mean? I can't make head nor tail of it. Specifically, what is "family doesnt named with the sp" supposed to communicate? --Stemonitis (talk) 12:12, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
Phylogenetic position may inform taxonomic placement, but the two are not the same. Basal forms are also placed in families. I don't see any reason not to include the information, particularly as it is explicitly noted in the original description. Omitting the family merely makes the article look slapdash, because there will be conspicuous gaps in the hierarchy. Including the family but showing that it is uncertain clarifies that. I see no disadvantage to including it, and considerable advantage. --Stemonitis (talk) 12:46, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
In short, yes. Major ranks should, in my opinion, always be included, even if placement is uncertain. --Stemonitis (talk) 13:21, 16 September 2011 (UTC) October 2011Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history. In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. mgiganteus1 (talk) 21:52, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
New Page Patrol survey
ZiphosuchiaHello! I just noticed you made the automatic taxonomy for Ziphosuchia.
TokosauridsI just reverted your edit over at Reptiliomorpha. If you have some newer sources confirming Tokosaurus fall on the amniote side of the divide (I'm relying on Carroll and Benton here), feel free to ad it there. These critters are a bugbear to keep track of. Petter Bøckman (talk) 22:58, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
Seriously? --Shirt58 (talk) 06:41, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
Taxoboxes and other cleanupOn 16 January, you created a number of taxonomic articles without taxoboxes (Albertwoodemys–Protoxinjiangchelys), often with the edit summary "more to come". Those articles were quickly tagged as needing taxoboxes, as well as needing other work (references, categories, etc.) Then, yesterday, you created another group of similarly incomplete sub-stubs, without taxoboxes, and needing other work (Tassiliodus–Oklatheridium). It seems unfair to expect others to put time and effort into cleaning up after you, so perhaps it would be better if you returned to some of those articles and worked on fixing the problems, rather than creating more problems and leaving them for other people to fix. --Stemonitis (talk) 07:26, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
AetosaursHello again! I just noticed that you've included the cladogram of the Aetobarbakinoides paper in several articles, so I assume you have access to the whole paper. Unfortunately I don't have access (bummer...). Anyway I was wondering, since Typothoracisinae is now outside Aetosaurinae and is instead the sister taxon of Desmatosuchinae, do Desojo et al. now consider it a subfamily? I know it's sort of implied by the -inae suffix, but if Desojo et al. don't call Typothoracisinae a subfamily, we probably shouldn't rank it as a subfamily in the automatic taxonomy.

BarlabelDo you mean the Anthracosauria label? It's not centered on the bracket, but everything else looks fine to me. I'm not sure if we're seeing different things on different browsers. I'm trying to do the same on the lepospondyl page, and it's a mess! Smokeybjb (talk) 18:41, 3 March 2012 (UTC) Croc templates, lists, categoriesAll your ideas sound good:
Smokeybjb (talk) 02:40, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
CladesThis came up at the Auto Taxobox talk page and there seemed to be consensus that we should simply use "clade". I agree it would be nice to list which definition we're using, but I'm not sure how that should be done. Hopefully, once PhyloCode goes into effect we won't need to worry about it since there will be only one correct definition for each clade. So maybe putting this on hold for now will actually save some time later on. MMartyniuk (talk) 15:28, 25 April 2012 (UTC) Microraptor(ians)I'd probably hold off on splitting out anything from Microraptor until somebody does an explicit examination. The newest Senter paper codes four "Micro" specimens separately, and Crypto doesn't clade with the rest, but that could be an artifact--the fact is there are probably either several species of Microraptor, or alternately people need to code better for ontogony--but somebody needs to actually study the possible species and ontogenetic differences first. I'm sure a paper studying Microraptor growth and diversity is upcoming (I hope so, such things are desperately needed when a "species" is known from hundreds of unpublished specimens).

I don't find it blatant enough a hoax for speedy as such, and while an expert in the field might be able to judge vandalism, it's not obvious enough for most admins to agree or disagree. As you appear to have greater knowledge in the field, I'm hoping you'll give your reasons there. Peridon (talk) 17:30, 21 April 2013 (UTC) Re:thanksYou're welcome, I follow the paleontology pages here (and I translate someones). And I've thanked to Smokeybjb too. Greetings :). Manda BedsThe temnospondyl material has been referred to both Stanocephalosaurus and Eryosuchus, so it's probably best to attribute the specimens to an indeterminate capitosaur. I don't have access to Haughton (1932), but I think Stenaulorhynchus major might actually be known from only one specimen, the broken humerus (it might show up two times in the database because it has been mentioned two times, once in Haughton (1932) and again in Crompton (1955); both records are of the same locality). In this case Stenaulorhynchus major and Stagonosuchus nyassicus are definitely synonyms. Smokeybjb (talk) 17:05, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
A little note on cites..I saw you made an edit over at the Teratophoneus article and reverted it because you removed the citation and replaced it with a cite tag. I'm sorry if this was an error on your end, but please be more careful and look at what you're editing before submitting the revision, as removing a cite and replacing it with a cite tag is kind of a bad idea, especially if that cite is a scientific paper, journal or another reliable source.

I figured I should bring this issue to your attention since you made the relevant edit (it may have looked fine at the time; technical limits can change). GreenReaper (talk) 07:22, 11 December 2013 (UTC) I'm seconding the call for action, especially since the error-containing cladogram also appears on Gomphodontia. In my opinion, it is needlessly complex to extend the trees to the level of genus in each case, and non-focal taxa should be trimmed to family level.--Animalparty-- (talk) 18:50, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
