What's a prosomal appendage? User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 19:00, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

An appendage attached to the prosoma, added explanation. Ichthyovenator (talk) 20:42, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How big's Jaekelopterus? User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 19:00, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Added. Ichthyovenator (talk) 20:42, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You got a parentheses inside a parentheses, and for {{convert}}, you're gonna wanna have the parameters |adj=on and |sp=us in this instance so it reads "2.5 meter" User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 21:14, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Removed paranthesis and added parameters. Ichthyovenator (talk) 09:32, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

After you get above 12 inches, start using feet User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 19:00, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Got it, fixed. Ichthyovenator (talk) 20:42, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note in the future, Greek language and Ancient Greek are very different User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 19:00, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, should have linked Ancient Greek. Ichthyovenator (talk) 20:42, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Is this paraphyletic? User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 19:00, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but no source specifically states that "Carcinosoma is paraphyletic". Is it okay to state that "it was recovered as paraphyletic" anyway? Ichthyovenator (talk) 20:42, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If they say or imply it with different words it should be fine User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 21:14, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's not commented on at all in the study. Ichthyovenator (talk) 09:32, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn’t put it down then, I guess it’s clear enough in the cladogram that there’s something going on here User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 15:30, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ref no. 16 is not formatted right User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 19:00, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Ichthyovenator (talk) 09:32, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Something wrong with the formatting of ref no. 2 User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 19:00, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting here based on how formatting was done for ref no. 5 in Spinosaurus as that is also specifically to the supplementary information of a paper. Ichthyovenator (talk) 09:32, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting of ref no. 5 is inconsistent

like the last name is in caps and somehow a different font size, you use “P34,” and I can’t tell if this is supposed to be a book or not User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 15:30, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Replaced source altogether, its information was repeated in the next source where it is cited in the description and added a new source where it was used in "classification". Ichthyovenator (talk) 09:12, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

For ref no. 8, use {{GBIF}} User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 19:00, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Ichthyovenator (talk) 09:25, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ref no. 12 isn't formatted correctly User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 19:00, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

it’s just missing a publisher and an ISBN (if it has one), and the author’s first and last name aren’t separated by a comma User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 15:30, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed, also added the publisher. Ichthyovenator (talk) 09:12, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

File:Carcinosoma Size 2.svg, File:Adelophthalmus irinae.png, and File:Carcinosoma newlini telson.png need source lines to verify they're accurate User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 19:02, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'll add sources, shouldn't be hard as the sources were used for the text as well. I assume this goes for all size diagrams and reconstructions (e.g. other eurypterids too)? Ichthyovenator (talk) 09:32, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Replaced File:Adelophthalmus irinae.png pending the addition of a source, added sources to the other two images. Ichthyovenator (talk) 09:12, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see this article uses American English so for all the {{convert}}, you have to add |sp=us because the template defaults to British English User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 21:14, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Ichthyovenator (talk) 09:32, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

the doi for ref no. 2 isn’t linking. You should probably just use {{cite}} for all the refs to get rid of the little syntax problems, or, in this particular instance, you can use {{doi}} to get it to link User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 15:30, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Used the doi template. Ichthyovenator (talk) 09:27, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

the page number is just the doi without punctuation, the PMID isn’t linking, and you need a PMC 2865068 which’d make the url redundant and unnecessary. You can either use {{cite journal}} and fill out the parameters or {{PMID}} and {{PMC}} User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 13:41, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Used {{cite journal}}. Ichthyovenator (talk) 19:19, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

wait, so if a ref has a PMID and PMC, then you need to add those in replacement of the url. I think you can do in this case <ref>{{cite journal|parameters}} [url Supplementary Information]</ref> You also might want to check your other 4 journal refs for PMID and PMC numbers User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 01:57, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

but that won’t stop it from passing, so I guess I’ll just go on ahead and close it. You still might wanna do that though User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 21:24, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I've added the PMID back and added the PMC but I do not see why I'd need to replace the url? Sure it links to the same thing but I doubt most readers are familiar with that "PMC" or "PMID" means and just clicking on the title is in that case much more intuitive. I tried looking, but I do not know how to find the PMID and PMC numbers, if there are any, for the other journal refs. Ichthyovenator (talk) 21:35, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The template should automatically link to the page if there’s a PMC so it’s as if there is a |url parameter (it still hyperlinks the title), which makes the |url parameter redundant. To find PMC and PMID, just go to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov and search the title. If nothing comes up, it doesn’t have a PMID or a PMC User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 00:26, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
