 * Is there currently a quality status marine reptile article?  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 00:58, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
 * By quality, you mean FA/GA? I've personally worked on Elasmosaurus, Brancasaurus, and Dinocephalosaurus, and I know others have been promoted. Lythronaxargestes (talk &#124; contribs) 01:22, 14 May 2020 (UTC)


 * "early-diverging" is might be better to just put "early"
 * Done in the lead, let me know if it should be done elsewhere too. Lythronaxargestes (talk &#124; contribs) 02:55, 14 May 2020 (UTC)


 * "driven to extinction by volcanism and sea level changes" are you talking about the Triassic–Jurassic extinction event?  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 00:58, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Although the cause is shared, this is not the Tr-J. It is a minor extinction event that occurred at the Early Triassic-Middle Triassic boundary. Lythronaxargestes (talk &#124; contribs) 01:23, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
 * You should specify "by the Middle Triassic" or "at the beginning of the Middle Triassic"  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 14:16, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Done. Lythronaxargestes (talk &#124; contribs) 18:54, 15 May 2020 (UTC)


 * "During further attempts to remove rock from between the closed jaws, an isolated tooth was discovered; the specimen had previously thought to have been toothless" this sentence is backwards  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 00:58, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Reworded. Lythronaxargestes (talk &#124; contribs) 02:55, 14 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Once you get above 12 inches it would better to convert to ft (use |ftin|sigfig=1)  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 00:58, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Done. Lythronaxargestes (talk &#124; contribs) 02:55, 14 May 2020 (UTC)


 * "its frontal bone also lacked an expansion at its rear outer corner" is that the eyebrow or something?  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 14:16, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Not really. That process would articulate with the postfrontal I think. Lythronaxargestes (talk &#124; contribs) 18:54, 15 May 2020 (UTC)


 * "Cartorhynchus had 31 pre-sacral vertebrae" you could also say "Excluding the tail, Cartorhynchus had 31 vertebrae"  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 14:16, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * This is not quite the same. You would include the sacrum in that count. Is "Excluding the tail and hip" better? Lythronaxargestes (talk &#124; contribs) 18:54, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Actually it might be better to just list them all out ("it has x number of neck vertebrae, y thoracic vertebrae, z lumbar...") at the beginning  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 01:02, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I can totally get around talking about presacrals though — see the presacral count discussion. Lythronaxargestes (talk &#124; contribs) 02:10, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I know; if you list it all out like above, you've basically just defined presacral, and it's good info to include regardless  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 12:50, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Done. I've just listed the (estimated) cervical and dorsal counts since the taxon doesn't have lumbar verts. Lythronaxargestes (talk &#124; contribs) 01:15, 17 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Does the neural spine shape have any functional implications relating to back muscles?  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 14:16, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * None proposed in the literature. Lythronaxargestes (talk &#124; contribs) 18:54, 15 May 2020 (UTC)


 * homoplasically→homoplasiously?  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 14:16, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Thought these were synonyms? Changed. Lythronaxargestes (talk &#124; contribs) 18:54, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I never really considered using homoplasy as an adverb before so I'm not sure what exactly it would be  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 01:02, 16 May 2020 (UTC)


 * The last image is pushing the ref list to the left, so maybe you could put in a See also section?  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 14:16, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Doesn't seem to do that on my screen. Added regardless. Lythronaxargestes (talk &#124; contribs) 18:54, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
