Dinosaurs: Instructions Assignment
In order to create a good wikipedia article for Dinosaurs, there are a plethora of variables that come into consideration. The article must be well-structured by beginning with a leading statement and has a well-polished table of contents. It must also abide the good article criteria and follow the types of sources Wikipedia recommends.

A leading statement is crucial as it is the opening portion of the article where the audience views first. As a general rule of the thumb the leading statement should be roughly 10% of the article length and should be no longer than four paragraphs according to Manual of Style/Lead section. Adopted from various other Dinosaur Articles, the table of contents should also be similar to other dinosaur specie works and should follow this format:


 * 1) Description
 * 2) Discovery
 * 3) Classification
 * 4) Paleobiology
 * 5) Paleoecology
 * 6) In popular culture (If applicable)
 * 7) References

This formatting is just the vertebrae of the article and are the vague points that should be covered. These must be followed if it is to be deemed a good-article.

The first criteria for what is deemed a good article is that it should be well-written. By saying this, the article should be clear and concise in its meaning. For example when discussing a specific species of dinosaurs, the article must focus solely focus and have broad amount of knowledge for the dinosaur. In the good article for the Spinosaurus the contents of the article covers a broad range of the dinosaurs. It covers the description, discovery, classification and the paleobiology of the Spinosaurus. This is common throughout the majority of Dinosaur species articles. This also links to what the average word count should be for the higher popularity spectrum of dinosaurs. In the Tyrannosaurus Rex the total word count is 8569 words whilst the Velociraptor article has 3796 words. The Spinosaurus article on the other hand has around 5107 words. The average of these three articles comes to just over 5800 words. This gives the editor a rough view of how long a more popular dinosaur article should be. For less popular species, expect 2000-3000 words such as the Kentrosaurus.

A good dinosaur wikipedia must have verifiable resources with no original research. What this means is that all information must be cited and referenced and presented in a suitable layout style. All inline citation must be from scholarly sources as stated in the article "Six Good Criteria". All dinosaur articles must have a plethora of sources such as the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Velociraptor and Spinosaurus article. The Tyrannosaurus Rex article has 165 sources whilst the Velociraptor article has 47 sources. The Spinosaurus on the other hand has 66 references. To average that all out between the three articles, the popular dinosaur specie articles should have roughly around 90-100 sources. Meanwhile less popular dinosaur species such as the Kentrosaurus that has 38 sources should have roughly 40-50 sources. It is imperative to have reliable and a wide range of sources for an article, in particular for the category of dinosaur species. Seeing as that dinosaurs are extinct, gathering reliable sources is difficult and the validity of the sources must be from extensive research as to original research.

According to the fifth good article criteria an article must not have an "ongoing edit car content dispute. This means that a specific sub-topic in a Dinosaur article should not be constantly edited simultaneously between all parties. This can be seen in the edits of the last For example the total edit on the Tyrannosaurus Rex article was 7249 edits whilst the Velociraptor article had 3271 edits and the Spinosaurus article has 2493 edits as of today. Averaging these figures, the total amount of edits a more popular dinosaur species article should have is roughly around 4000-5000 edits across its lifetime.

To summarize; in order to create a good Wikipedia article, one must have a well structured article. One must also include valid sources and a non-bias view on dinosaurs in particular. All information in the article should be based off of scholarly sources rather than original research.
