Talk:Xiaotingia

Who is Xiao-Ting Zheng?
I was curious about the name (as I though at first it may be named after the mythical bird or something cool), so I tried to figure out who is this chap. The papers says... Zheng Xiaoting for his efforts in establishing the Shandong Tianyu Museum of Nature as a repository for vertebrate fossils from China. This museum (山东省临沂市平邑县莲花山路) in Pingyi County (a town with 300,000 people somewhere in China) has a website without English, but the curator (馆长) is Zheng Xiaoting (郑晓廷), who also happens to be party secretary... It is hard to get a biography not deleted on wikipedia, even scientists, so I do not think that red-link will be anything but a red-link, given the paucity of info on this chap. --Squidonius (talk) 04:25, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

The museum had an English page at, but this is giving errors at the moment. It was difficult to get there -- even the friend from Shandong who drove me had never heard of it before. I have a visitors guide (with some English), but no time to edit. Is there any way I can send a scan to a more-keen editor? --BruceMcAdam (talk) 12:35, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
