Brachauchenius (again)

Hello or good evening FunkMonk, in view of the many surprisingly free acess sources to which I have concerning this animal, I am ready to accept that you be my mentor in order to expand this article. Cordially, Amirani1746 (talk) 18:33, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great! Seems you know the ropes about article expansion and GAN by now, so just tell me at what point I should comment on some of the text or if you have any questions. FunkMonk (talk) 21:05, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FunkMonk It seems that it will be more preferable to start with the "Research history", with a special subchapter dedicated to formerly specimens attributed. Amirani1746 (talk) 21:09, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, if you mean section order, articles usually have discovery/history sections first, but you can of course start expanding whichever you like first. There is also an ok selection of additional images on Commons for when the article expands. FunkMonk (talk) 21:50, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I've already started a draft on Wikipedia in French, but I think that if you start writing first I'll catch up with you. For my part, I want to point out that I'm quite interested moi the discovery and classification section than other, but than should be ok. Amirani1746 (talk) 22:25, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, so you mean more of a collaboration. As a mentor, I would work more as an overseer and make suggestions I think would make it ready for a FAC nomination. Unfortunately I don't have time for actual writing myself for the foreseeable future. FunkMonk (talk) 22:50, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, in not long the article should receive its first expansion in not long. I will prevent when it is done. Amirani1746 (talk) 06:06, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good! FunkMonk (talk) 10:02, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FunkMonk The first part of the expansion has already started, I imagine this will give what this chapter is supposed to look like ! Amirani1746 (talk) 20:30, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it's shaping up, you can notify me when you think a section is finished so I can evaluate it. FunkMonk (talk) 22:38, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I find the "research history" title superfluous if we already have a history or taxonomy section. Those titles are sufficient. FunkMonk (talk) 09:38, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FunkMonk Many other article such as Mosasaurus use this title. Amirani1746 (talk) 18:15, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's optional, but mainly used in cases where a section simply covers too many aspects to not only fit under a taxonomy/history/discovery moniker. Personally I never use it, because I prefer to spread disparate information into more relevant subsections instead of one hodgepodge section. FunkMonk (talk) 15:53, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We will the sitution when i will finish to write the last sub-chapter. Amirani1746 (talk) 20:37, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since you're the writer of this article, it's perfectly fine whatever you choose. FunkMonk (talk) 00:46, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TFA

Thank you today for Atrociraptor, introduced as "the first FAC about a dromaeosaurid (or "raptor") dinosaur in more than a decade, and this particular genus has recently become (in)famous as antagonist in a recent Jurassic World movie. Because their portrayal in that film is atrociously inaccurate, improving this article will hopefully set the record straight."! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:04, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome! FunkMonk (talk) 22:07, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded pics of a trip that was a 10-day celebration of a 16 November event, but the day was also when a dear friend died. We sang Hevenu shalom aleichem at his funeral yesterday, and it was good. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:30, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Humpback again

I added some more text. What do you think of the length now? LittleJerry (talk) 23:58, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I remember raising concerns before, but it does seem better than the old FA version at a glance. FunkMonk (talk) 02:24, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I asked you to look at it before and you thought was a bit short. Would you say it is "Satisfactory" now? LittleJerry (talk) 22:31, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yes, that was a few months ago. It certainly looks better, also with additional images it seems, but I'd have to give it a detailed read through to judge it, which I unfortunately don't have time for at the moment. FunkMonk (talk) 02:05, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TFA again

Thank you today for Mimodactylus, introduced (in 2023): "This is the first FAC about a fossil species from Lebanon, where significant palaeontological discoveries are increasingly being made. As it's a relatively recently named animal, most of what has been published about it is covered here, and the images are mainly from the scientific paper that described it."! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:40, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome again, seems to happen frequently these days! FunkMonk (talk) 11:19, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good for you! - Today's story comes from a DYK about a concert that fascinated me, and you can listen! For my taste, the hook has too little music - I miss the unusual scoring and the specific dedication - but it comes instead with a name good for viewcount. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:04, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
