Article Status Notes
Eurypterid   GA Promoted by Ichthyovenator
List of eurypterid genera List In perfectly acceptable state. Featured list potential eventually but would require restructure (if all genera ever get done). Draft.
Timeline of eurypterid research List Very incomplete - material from genera whose articles have not yet been worked on is very limited or non-existant. Check needed eventually to ensure that sources are not repeated.
Metastoma Stub Incomplete, article has potential but the notability of the topic is not fully certain yet.

Hibbertopterus   GA Promoted by Ichthyovenator; after the (embarrassing for me) conversation with Lamsdell on the talk page it is clear that there is going to be extensive revision of this article in the near future - possibly re-splitting off Cyrtoctenus and Dunsopterus. Holding off work on this group until then.
