- Ah, I had forgotten that I nominated this article... Lythronaxargestes (talk) 20:09, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
- Yeah, shouldn't really take this long for a review to begin, which is why I dropped by... FunkMonk (talk) 20:23, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for the notification, review done, some edits made to the article, nice one; passed. When you have more of these paleontological articles to review, give me a shout, cheers, Tisquesusa (talk) 16:36, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

FunkMonk, any thoughts on the revisions? I'm personally a bit concerned about the skull comparison and old life reconstruction that have been added, because they do not seem very accurate. Lythronaxargestes (talk) 17:48, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
- Yeah, I think those changes are outside the scope of a GA review. Such major layout changes should ideally be suggested at the review page for discussion, not be implemented by the reviewer. That's what the reviews are for, discussion of changes, not simply passing without any correspondence. And there's of course a reason why those images weren't used, they're not accurate according to the latest sources. FunkMonk (talk) 17:53, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
- FunkMonk, Lythronaxargestes, if you think any changes or images are inaccurate or otherwise don't belong, then by all means remove them, and start a discussion on the talk page outside of this review. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:38, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
