Talk:Cristatusaurus

Images and comments by Hendrickx et al. (2016)
Good to hear we have more content to add to this article,, although its kind of annoying at the same time. I'm wondering, would it be best to crop the fossil images so they show only Cristatusaurus, or should we keep them as they are for the sake of comparisons with Baryonyx and Suchomimus? ▼PσlєοGєєк ƧɊƲΔƦΣƉ▼  00:24, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I only noticed it because I started reworking the Baryonyx article myself, always kind of annoying when you think you're done with something, but well, it will never end as long as research is ongoing anyway. I think showing all the specimens in single images are mainly relevant for the paper itself (for the sake of comparison), not so much for this article. But do whatever you think makes sense (and the article has room for). FunkMonk (talk) 00:29, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Looking at the images now, they do look kind of samey, so could probably be nice anyway to include one full figure comparing Cristatusaurus with Suchomimus anyway. FunkMonk (talk) 02:18, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Was just about to comment on that, it's a common problem when there are multiple good images of a single subject. The one under Classification has now been replaced with the uncropped version. I might not get around to adding the Hendrickx paper information until just before the DYK comes out on the main page, though, seeing as I got my hands full at the moment with Irritator. ▼PσlєοGєєк  ƧɊƲΔƦΣƉ▼  02:34, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
 * The timing probably isn't so important, as long as it is added at some point. Can't believe we overlooked that part, I guess the lesson is you should always check the supplementals... FunkMonk (talk) 02:50, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Since the DYK is in a couple hours, I just implemented that additional information from the Hendrickx et al. supplement. Let me know if there's anything in the added text that needs fixing, . ▼PσlєοGєєк  ƧɊƲΔƦΣƉ▼  07:56, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Looks good! Also interesting they note the postcranial material should be examined further (I think that part was new?), gives hope the situation can still be clarified... FunkMonk (talk) 14:39, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Synonyms
I'm confused by the situation regarding names in the synonyms part of the information box. Up till now I had the impression that when names are listed there it's names which the subject of the article would have priority over (e.g. by being the oldest name, or an older name being dubious, etc.), or where there's a choice of two different genera for the same species. But now in this article I see Baryonyx listed as a possible synonym of Cristatusaurus when Baryonyx has priority over Cristatusaurus, while the Baryonyx article lists no names at all in the synonyms section of its info box. And then Cristatusaurus and Suchomimus are each listed as a possible synonym of each other on both Wikipedia articles for these two genera. There seems to be a lack of consistency with names in the synonyms section of the info box? Especially when compared to other Wikipedia dinosaur articles? For example, the Pachycephalosaurus article's info box lists Stygimoloch and Dracorex as possible synonyms, Stygimoloch's only lists Dracorex as a possible synonym, and Dracorex's doesn't list any. In these three cases, names have only gone in the synonym part of the info box if the subject of the article would have priority over them, and I think this is how I usually see it done on Wikipedia. 2A02:C7D:B943:5F00:E6CE:8FFF:FE0A:2EA4 (talk) 01:26, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Most recent papers don't consider Baryonyx as synonymous with either, so it should be removed. But the situation with Suchomimus and Cristatusaurus is more murky, therefore they should be listed in either article with a question mark. Remember, the term "synonym" can mean both senior and junior synonyms, so it is no problem to list an older name as a synonym. FunkMonk (talk) 02:12, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
 * ✅ Removed from Cristatusaurus, kept in Suchomimus. ▼PσlєοGєєк  ƧɊƲΔƦΣƉ▼  02:24, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
