Gordo, we hardly knew ye edit
I've asked the closer to reconsider the recent merge of this very mainspace-worthy article. Still not understanding the objection of the Wikiproject community to such a well-sourced and notable page. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:50, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Put birds on the taxobox? edit
I have noticed that birds are not shown on the taxobox with six images on it, so is it appropriate to add one picture of a bird on there? I am putting this in the talk page because I know it will be a controversial issue, and I want to see the opinions of others before I add it. Can someone provide their opinion on this subject? 2003 LN6 (talk) 05:56, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
- There's a montage of birds right below it, as discussed previously. Better to show the diversity of extinct members as well. Lythronaxargestes (talk | contribs) 16:19, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
- The diversity of extinct member would still be shown, if 5 out of 6 images were of extinct members. It seems bizarre and indefensible not to feature the only living members in the taxobox. Thue (talk)
- Seems fine as is with birds having their own collage under the initial box. Randy Kryn (talk) 15:52, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Stegosaurus stenops or ungulatus? edit
The caption of the Stegosaurus picture in this article refers to it as Stegosaurus stenops, but the caption in Commons calls it a Stegosaurus ungulatus. I'm not enough of an expert to know which is correct, but one of those has to be wrong, right? SilverStar54 (talk) 00:06, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
- The museum itself identifies it as S. armatus (so, obviously, no help there). Lythronaxargestes (talk | contribs) 05:24, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
- According to the Stegosaurus article, there are significant proposals that all three of those are actually the same species. --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 18:36, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
