Talk:Panoplosaurus

Origination
Does panoplosauros not come from the Greek stems pan + 'oplo + saur, meaning everywhere + armed + lizard? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.47.144.254 (talk) 20:37, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I get "completely armoured lizard" from here, which is usually reliable, but it's a "six of one, half-dozen of the other" kind of difference. Both are certainly much closer than just "armored lizard", which would be Oplosaurus. J. Spencer (talk) 00:49, 10 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Nice work on the article,, I noticed there are a lot of public domain photos and diagrams in the 1919 description (I uploaded the skull photo from there), any reason why they aren't used here instead of the more tangential images? FunkMonk (talk) 00:33, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
 * The only reason is that I'm still not the best at extracting images from PDF's. Theres also figures in the 1921 description of postcranial that can also be uploaded, and a few more here and there from PLoS papers though most of those depict ROM 1215, which isnt definitively Panoplo.

 * I have started to upload the various images, though the postcranial ones are difficult to edit cleanly because of the edges. IJReid { {T - C - D - R} } 19:58, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I see, when articles are on archive.org and biodiversitylibrary, you don't actually have to use the pdfs, you can just right click directly on the online pages and save them as jpgs. This works best if you have zoomed in 100% or more of course, to get the highest resolution. FunkMonk (talk) 20:39, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
