 * Symbol question.svg Dates, expansion, verifiability and other policies all seem fine. However, the proposed hooks are focused on info that does not seem very clear, as it does not seem certain if the fossils all belong to the Patagosaurus or if they got mixed with unrelated fossils (and, in turn, if those specimens really belonged to it or the mixed fossils are screwing up the results). I would prefer a hook focused on something known for certain, for example the size. But feel free to correct me if I understood something wrong, and either of the hooks is saying something known for sure. Cambalachero (talk) 18:28, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I think that I have corrected these issues. In the original hook I removed the uncertainty of how many specimens are known, and in the alternate I modified the phrasing and wording. Is this good? IJReid (talk) 18:34, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Seems good to go now. I prefer the first hook. Cambalachero (talk) 18:39, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
