Talk:Dental battery

"Condensation"
Has repeatedly "condensed" the article. I am reverting the latest help building and here is why.


 * Removed mention of ligament, a key element of this subject both in what the dental battery is and the research providing its description.
 * Removed mention of archosaurs, the closest living relative for comparative study.
 * Removed mention of rodent teeth, a key comparison in studies.
 * Removed all description of the structure tending to stay together during fossilisation being worthy of note, instead writing "tends to fossilise" which can be said of any fossil.
 * Repeats phrases like "dentine was.. uniquely vascular. Dentine in hadrosaurs was also vascular"
 * Removes all mention and imagery of the unique bone appearance beneath the tooth structure, which is a key element to understanding how the ligaments and teeth fitted on the jaw.
 * Removes introduction of the term "tooth family", but it is unique to this subject.
 * Removes all mention of reabsorption, another key element to understanding this subject.
 * Removes all mention of histology, a key element to this subject.

Concision is only achieved if no information is removed. Hacking and slashing will always be hacking and slashing. ~ R.T.G 05:04, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
 * It's not important to say how we study dental batteries, and the other things I removed as unimportant because it was so incredibly unclear exactly what they were saying it seemed like unnecessary info (like you were trying to say the entire battery fossilizes, that did not come across? A ligament is a kind of connective tissue, why do we need to differentiate ligament from connective tissue? What on God's Earth is reabsorption, I thought you were just trying to say polyphydonty?) The point of comparing it to rodents, the authors were just trying to say polyphydonty, and instead of saying it's important to look at crocodile teeth to understand the battery, you should say what aspects of crocodile teeth are the same as the battery. I removed "similar to the berries of a pineapple" because that's such a random analogy to make, it's not a very useful one either because it's far from common knowledge that pineapples even have berries  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 14:28, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
