Removed some dinosaurs

edit

I've removed several of the dinosaurs that were on the list, including:

  • Allosaurus
  • Ceratopsidae
  • Hypsilophodon
  • Iguanodon
  • Saichania
  • Leptoceratops (changed to Leptoceratopsidae indet.)

The reason was because the references provided were not sufficiently reliable (eg. personal web sites and blogs), and in some cases didn't mention the animals in question at all. At least some of them seem to have been based on misunderstandings, such as the genus Leptoceratops substituted for the family Leptoceratopsidae. I searched but could not find any reliable sources discussing the animals mentioned above for this region. 2601:342:100:9000:944B:FC87:4C5D:26CB (talk) 21:31, 13 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
