Road to GA
Will try to work on this one next. Lythronaxargestes (talk) 18:43, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * In that case, it would be the first promoted plesiosaur article, which is quite an achievement in itself! FunkMonk (talk) 21:10, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Wow, A-class! Well, hopefully GA isn't far-off. I'm a little more preoccupied lately but hopefully I can still work on it. Lythronaxargestes (talk) 20:58, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
 * The A-class/B-class/C-class system is pretty meaningless. There's no review system; it's just an assessment. I don't normally rate articles on the A/B/C scale for that reason, but the article was still rated a stub, which is clearly untrue. Best of luck on your road to FA. The article is excellent.

Regarding paleoecology and Wegner's original description: I don't understand German, neither do I have access to these resources, so if anyone is able to contribute in this capacity please do so. Lythronaxargestes (talk) 23:31, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I assume most of the original description is redundant anyway since the new description came up? I assume it would recap most of that info? FunkMonk (talk) 20:38, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
 * That's true, though I was thinking of citing claims that were made in the original description (and reiterated in the new one). Lythronaxargestes (talk) 23:48, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Doesn't the new paper place citations for the old paper when such claims are repeated? My German skills have deteriorated quite a bit since high school, so I probably wouldn't be of much help, but I think we have a few palaeo editors that are even native speakers.

 * If the citations of the old paper in the new paper would be sufficient, scratch that then.... Lythronaxargestes (talk) 17:13, 9 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Why is this a "vital article", by the way? Even as plesiosaurs go, it's pretty obscure... Hell, even Plesiosaurus itself isn't "vital"! I suspect the user who added this has done more in a similar vein and should be checked. FunkMonk (talk) 21:30, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
