Untitled[edit]

There needs to be a redirect, or preferably multiple redirects--I'm not just being lazy here, "list of Australian dinosaurs" doesn't even lead to this page, simply because the 'L' isn't capitalized. I'd make it myself if I knew how, but I don't, and I don't really want to muck things up trying. 97.104.210.67 (talk) 16:28, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That seems odd. The capitalization or not of the leading word of an article title shouldn't matter for purposes of searching and wikilinks. J. Spencer (talk) 02:28, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Monash Link[edit]

Good link, Bobuck Survey. Cheers! When you get a whiff of new discoveries, do edit the article.--Gazzster 23:01, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion[edit]

I would like to:

1) Rename this to List of Australian and Antarctican dinosaurs; and

2) Put this list into the same format as the other "Dinosaurs by Continent" series.

If you would object please say so here.—S Marshall Talk/Cont 10:40, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, shouldn't this be List of Australian and Antarctic dinosaurs? "Antarctican" seems kind of odd. J. Spencer (talk) 15:08, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Moved; I hadn't heard of "Artarctican" before, but a Google search indicates it's valid. Still, "Antarctic" is much more common. Firsfron of Ronchester 18:39, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
"Antarctican" seemed natural to me, but maybe I'm strange (or just British!)... but "Antarctic" works too.—S Marshall Talk/Cont 17:36, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, now I see the En-US-0 userbox on your user page. Hope I didn't offend you with the cheeky move. (And that's the first time I've used the word "cheeky" as well). Firsfron of Ronchester 17:50, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't worry, I'm fairly hard to offend. You certainly couldn't offend me with a good-faith page move.  :)—S Marshall Talk/Cont 18:12, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Name Change[edit]

Why is this List of Australian and Antarctic dinosaur? I understand both have few dinosaurs, but they are two completely seperate continents which should have their own articles.--Empire of War (talk) 12:19, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • They're separate now. Throughout most of the dinosaur age, they weren't separate continents at all; dinosaurs could and did walk from one to the other, so some species are common to both. Likewise, throughout most of the dinosaur age, India and Madagascar were fused together, so we have a List of Indian and Madagascan dinosaurs.—S Marshall T/C 14:03, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into South Polar dinosaur[edit]

This list seems short enough to be in a full article, and it's topic is the same as South Polar dinosaur, so I figure why bother having so many small articles about the same thing   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  00:18, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The possible issue is the impact on the completeness of the Lists of dinosaurs by landmass category. Lavateraguy (talk) 16:46, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Category-completeness is not really an objective around here, as far's I'm aware. They're really more for organizational purposes for editors, and the same thing'd be accomplished with the merger. Plus, there's only 25 dinosaurs on that list, it's quite short. Now if I could only get some kinda ref that assures me that the list is complete (I could, of course, get one for each species), that's for me the biggest problem here   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  23:51, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think what we should do is put a list of Cretaceous polar dinosaurs and ones from the late Jurassic. All dinosaurs in that list should be 145 mya at the oldest and the youngest 66/65 mya for the list. This is stated in the article that the polar forests formed 145 mya and lasted into the end of the Maastrichtian. Bubblesorg (talk 18:25, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That is a good point. Looks like I overlooked the fact that some of these dinosaurs are from the Jurassic and can’t be included in South Polar region of the Cretaceous (the article’s been renamed by the way)   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  20:32, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not really as that is just a general list of dinosaurs found in those areas and not all of them are from that time period. --Bubblesorg (talk) 16:01, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
