Some copy editing done. Please revert or query anything you are not happy about.
 * Images need alt text.
 * added. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 14:24, 22 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Several duplicate links need removing.
 * done. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 14:24, 22 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Twards the end of the "Hand" section, there is a long paragraph ending in a quote, the last part of which appears to be unreferenced. I suspect that it is based on Bakker's excellent book, in which case could you repeat the cite immediately after "the long, spread toes of today's paddling animals such as ducks."
 * yes, added citation. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 14:24, 22 May 2019 (UTC)


 * "Since 1942, the mummy was referred to the new species Anatosaurus copei" Should that be 'referred to as the new species ...'?
 * not really, it is not the holotype, just a referred specimen. I simply removed the "new". --Jens Lallensack (talk) 14:24, 22 May 2019 (UTC)


 * "which in 1990 was externalized in its own genus". "externalised" seems very odd. Is it a technical paleontology word? If not it needs changing.
 * changed. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 14:24, 22 May 2019 (UTC)


 * "in a 1942 monography" Should that be 'monograph'?
 * changed. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 14:24, 22 May 2019 (UTC)


 * "extended up to five centimeters beyond the fingertips" Convert?
 * changed, and adjusted/completed all other conversion templates. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 14:24, 22 May 2019 (UTC)


 * The titles of most sources are not in title case. They should be.
 * Hm, to my knowledge, this only applies to book titles, not journal titles? See examples in Template:Cite journal. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 14:24, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Fair point. But Grave secrets of dinosaurs: soft tissues and hard science, The dinosaur heresies and Hunting dinosaurs in the bad lands of the Red Deer River, Alberta, Canada: a sequel to The life of a fossil hunter are books I think.
 * Sure, changed! --Jens Lallensack (talk) 17:23, 22 May 2019 (UTC)


 * When giving page ranges, could you preface them with 'pp.'?
 * As above, I always thought that this is undesired for journal cites in WP (and in academia), see examples in Template:Cite journal? --Jens Lallensack (talk) 14:24, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Hmm. That's not what I was taught, but you can evidence your approach, so fine.

More to follow. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:36, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for the copy edit and the comments! --Jens Lallensack (talk) 14:24, 22 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Bar the book titles I reckon that it meets the standards. It looks more or less FAC ready to me. Give me a ping when you nominate it and I'll comment.
