Citations edit

George Olshevsky's "Dinosaur Genera List" is used as the primary source for the names/entries on this page, especially for new taxa, as the other sources only cover until 1993, 1995, or 2004. However, Olshevsky's list has not been updated since June of 2021, and most likely will not continue to be updated as he sadly passed away recently.

I assume all of the taxa described since June (and going forward) should be cited individually?

As a side note, I archived all of the previous conversations here. The last archive was in 2008(!). -SlvrHwk (talk) 03:23, 5 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

I guess so. Helps just in case someone drives by and claims it can't be a featured list due to lack of inline citations. Good thing I have a chronological list of dinosaur discoveries so I know what to cite. Atlantis536 (talk) 05:04, 5 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Great. Thanks for adding those. It would have taken me much longer! -SlvrHwk (talk) 04:11, 6 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Image replacement edit

A few months ago, I replaced the page's illustrations of Herrerasaurus and Yi with those of Heterodontosaurus and Yinlong. My reasoning was that Herrerasaurus could be a non-avian dinosauriform and that Yi could be an avialan, which would bring them outside the scope of "non-avian dinosaurs" as defined by the rules of the list. However, just yesterday, an IP (who I assume to be the same person as the other IP's in the page history who care so much about the diversity of the images) reverted me on the basis of herrerasaurids and scansoriopterygids not being otherwise represented in the images. I for once believe that the list is diverse enough,and the addition of possible non-dinosaurs could be confusing, so I temporarily reverted the IP. But I'd like to hear your thoughts on the matter.
