 * Bagging this review, since I was a great fan of this dinosaur when I was a kid... will start shortly! Simon Burchell (talk) 15:41, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Promoted to GA within timescale. Certainly long enough. Image properly licensed. Great article, throughly referenced. My only quibble is with the grammar of the hook, since osteoderm is a noun. Merrian Webster Dictionary suggests osteodermal as the adjective. I've tweaked the hook accordingly. AGF on cite, since I could only see the abstract. Very nice work. Simon Burchell (talk) 17:33, 8 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Pic needs cropping if it's gonna be used -- looks like a forlorn donkey with poleaxes sticking out of him. EEng (talk) 22:16, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Indeed. In fact, the lead pic from the article is better, and I've taken the liberty of changing it. Feel free to revert if unhappy with it... Simon Burchell (talk) 23:00, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
