Hello, I'm Wtmitchell. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Wikipedia:WikiProject Palaeontology/Paleoart review—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks.

 * I must assume there has been a mistake given the confusing state of the review page following your edits and the fact that I merely asked for feedback for an image that may come into use in the future. I would very much appreciate having these vandalism warnings? removed accordingly Armin Reindl (talk) 13:54, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

GA
Greetings! Thank you for expanding Stupendemys! Someone with just one edit on the article nominated it for GAN. If you want to get the article to GA (which is very easy at this point), just ping me and I'll start a review for you (just copy and paste this: and replace it with the current GA template on the talk page).

My thoughts of the paper of Sebecus ayrampu
The paper of Sebecus ayrampu last year is quite suspicious for me for the following reasons:

1: The study retains the original classification of Sebecus:

"Therefore, we consider for the moment this is an unnecessary nomenclatorial change and we regard Zulmasuchus querejazus and Langstonia huilensis as junior synonyms of S.huilensis and S.querejazus" The new generic combination of S.huilensis and S.querejazus were made in the 21st century, but there is still some taxonomists still regard the original classification, similar to how some taxonomists still regard Tarbosaurus as Tyrannosaurus bataar. In my point of view, it's not a major consensus so we must ignore that.

2: Too much difference from S. icaeorhinus

Due to i found that S. ayrampu has too many contrasts with S. icaeorhinus, it needs a new genus name in the future.


 * 1) I had very little input on the Sebecus page as it is in its current state. My sole contribution to Sebecus is the addition of the new species so I am not sure why you specifically come to me to voice your thoughts on the matter.


 * 2) Generally just due weight and original research need to be brought up here. Even if you deem S. ayrampu to be too different, it's not our call to make. That's original research not supported by publications and thus, no offense, not allowed on wikipedia. And as far as Zulmasuchus and Langstonia are concerned, a single paper making an off-hand mention does not overturn prior research automatically. It takes a more in-depht publication and even then it's most likely not enough to immediately chance concensus. Nor would the authors opinion on Sebecus taxonomy render the rest of the paper invalid.


 * 3) I see you've been on here for a while so please sign your comments with four "~" at the end of your paragraph


 * 4) Like FunkMonk has told you multiple times it seems, please don't go to individual editors for this. Like I said in my first point, I merely made a single edit so I am not sure why you've come here Armin Reindl (talk) 14:03, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for all your work on fossil crocodilians!
I just wanted to thank you for all the great work you've done adding content to fossil crocodilians! So many articles have been greatly expanded. It's fun to see your additions pop up on my watch list. I just wanted to give you some recognition and appreciation. Good work, keep it up! Cougroyalty (talk) 16:57, 25 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Crocodilians and Pseudosuchians in general are a topic I'm very passionate about and I'm glad the work is paying off. As you probably noticed I'm currently working through mekosuchines, which I'll probably be able to finish soon enough (only two major pages are missing an overhaul). After that I'll take a brief "break" by tackling basilosaurids along a friend, but I'll return to the group for any new taxa and eventually take on another larger clade.

 * I do actually plan on making a size comparisson (unless I get distracted by my other ongoing projects) and some rudimentary scaling definitely highlights how ridiculously big that thing is. I did consider doing more DYKs in the past given the types of edits I tend to make, but thanks for the kind words. Armin Reindl (talk) 22:32, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
