Welcome to my Talk Page!
Greetings, and welcome to my talk page. Feel free to leave a message! TimTheDragonRider (talk) 11:40, 28 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Hello Morrison Man, I was wondering why you reverted the update I made to Stegosaurus temporal range (Late Jurassic 155 - 145 Mya to Late Jurassic - Early Cretaceous 155 - 120 Mya) They were legitimate edits based on the fact that the stegosaur remains in the Aptian Strata of China were confirmed to be Stegosaurus. I have legitimate sources to back this up if citations are all you want. Dariru22 (talk) 10:50, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
 * It would be nice if you could add the source when you make an edit, that way it doesn't get reverted. Currently the page also already points towards an extension into the Cretaceous being possible, but I believe not a lot of other authors have commented on Chinese Stegosaurus sp..

Dinodata links
Since the dinodata website is no more, what should we do about links that cite it?--Bubblesorg (talk) 12:52, 7 April 2022 (UTC)


 * If the website cannot be found, the links will probably need to be replaced with another source for the same thing. Could you provide me with the url of the website? Maybe it's available on the wayback machine. TimTheDragonRider (talk) 13:48, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

The WikiCup
Thank you for your offer to help judging the WikiCup, but I'm not sure that you have enough experience in Wikipedia and the bringing of articles to FA, GA and DYK standards. Can I suggest that you take part in the 2024 WikiCup so as to get a better idea of how it works and what it entails. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:30, 11 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Inadequate experience was one of the factors that I only considered after leaving a message, might've rushed into that a little bit. In any case, thanks for taking the time to leave a message and for the suggestion. Hopefully I'll have the time to participate in the 2024 cup. The Morrison Man (talk) 10:42, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Bentiabasaurus
Hey, I noticed you created a page for the new mosasaur taxon. I appreciate that you added a source, but can you please provide a link to it? I tried searching for the provided source online but only get results from Wikipedia. A link is appreciated because it helps with verifying that taxon is real and not just a hoax. Thank you. Miracusaurs (talk) 01:13, 13 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I have myself only been provided with a PDF of the paper, hence why there is no link. I do have confirmation that the volume it comes from exists, if required. If that is not adequate proof of validity the page might be better off removed for now. The Morrison Man (talk) 08:31, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The page can stay. I’ve found a link to the paper online (unfortunately, only after I’ve made this post) Miracusaurs (talk) 09:39, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
