 * Yikes, how the hell did that happen? Frankly, it was just a little personal project made for my own amusement, and it's nothing more than a crude table of size-comparison images sorted by size. Does its popularity present a problem? It can be deleted if you prefer. --Colin Douglas Howell (talk) 04:18, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Not at all. Magog the Ogre (talk) 07:05, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

This is awesome, you did a great job ^^ I only have doubts (although I didn't read about it) if Therizinosaurus really walked on 2 feet with such huge front feet? Also, this one looks like Tyrannosaurus sex XD –Mattija (talk) 09:46, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm really amazed. It's great! --Павел Баранов (talk) 21:08, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Longest sauropods
Carpenter (2018) has erected Maraapunisaurus for "Amphicoelias" fragillimus and assigned this taxon to Rebbachisauridae, and he's revised the size estimates for fragillimus to 99-104 feet. Therefore the files comparing Maraapunisaurus to a human being and other non-sauropod dinosaurs may have to be updated. Also, the file comparing Archaeopteryx specimens to a human must be updated to reflect that the Haarlem specimen was renamed Ostromia by Foth and Rauhut (2017).
