 * Also funny that the article was apparently started back in 2009, as either a hoax or a reference to the Pokemon character, which is the basis for the new name. Would be a sure winner at DYK or in the news, with all the game stuff that usually floods the mainpage anyway... FunkMonk (talk) 16:28, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, yes it looks like the bot flagged on a mirror of Pterodactylus. Did you use content from that page here? We'd just need to attribute that if so, but I can take care of that. And yes, this has DYK written all over it! Crow  Caw  21:26, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
 * This species was originally classified as a Pterodactylus but is now its own genus, so the relevant paragraphs were spun off to make this article. The material originates on the Pterodactylus Wikipedia page. The mirror page was presumably created between the time it was written for the Pterodactylus wiki page and the time this page was created.

 * Ok, perfect. I'll apply the appropriate templates for attribution. Thanks! Crow  Caw  18:14, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

Lumped again.......
Bennett has dumped this taxon back into Pterodactylus: Lythronaxargestes (talk &#124; contribs) 16:10, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Haha, great... But I think we should keep the article until consensus emerges. Seems every other new pterosaur genus has the same problem... Seems the paper has even more ramifications for anhanguerid diversity. FunkMonk (talk) 17:17, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Anyhow, the paper's revisions are probably at least noteworthy, if not grounds for a full reorganization. Lythronaxargestes (talk &#124; contribs) 04:41, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Nomen dubium or not?
I wonder if Bennett only said that Aerodactylus is sunk back to Pterodactylus but doesn't say they were nomen dubium… — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.237.203.92 (talk) 08:30, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
