Hello, Dinoman1;

I redirected Citipati sp. because it's been a long-standing consensus to only go to genus-level names for prehistoric animals. You're more than welcome to add your information to Citipati, though (although you're not supposed to cite Wikipedia as a reference in a Wikipedia article).

I redirected Unamed Tyrannosauroid to Theropoda for two reason: one, there's not much point in creating an article for every find that a newspaper picks up on, as there's so little information and much of it is usually distorted by the need to reach readers whose extent of dinosaur knowledge is limited, and lack of knowledge on the part of the writers themselves (in other words, most of the dinosaur editors here prefer to wait for a scientific paper where a new animal is concerned). Second, there isn't any evidence that it is a tyrannosauroid, just a statement about it being an ancestor of Tyrannosaurus. Presenting it as a tyrannosauroid is original research.

Having said that, I appreciate your effort, and you clearly have knowledge and interest, and are picking up the Wikipedia formatting tricks, so I wish you good luck. If you have any questions, please let me know. J. Spencer (talk) 22:31, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
