2020 papers on Styracosaurus for expansion

Just a note that a whole bunch of articles about frill morphology, ontogeny, evolution, taxonomy, etc. of Styracosaurus were published this year, so it'll take some time to get this old FA up to date. See the following:[1][2][3] FunkMonk (talk) 08:54, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I missed this. Maybe Dinoguy2 or MWAK could try? LittleJerry (talk) 01:23, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

None of them are really active anymore. But it's just a heads up if someone wants to have a look. FunkMonk (talk) 05:50, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

CLOSED

Agree to merging of article(s) as per weak consensus and unhelpful Content Split. Someone familiar with the topic would be preferable. Perhaps proposer, Borophagus or other knowledgeable editor would consider doing the merge? GenQuest ^"scribble" 04:50, 22 February 2021 (UTC) Non-Administrative closure[reply]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Formal request has been received to merge: Rubeosaurus into Styracosaurus; dated: February 4, 2021. Proposer's Rationale: There's effectively no reason for them to be separate articles, since Rubeosaurus turned out to just be another specimen of Styracosaurus. There are pages for other invalid ceratopsians, but only because we don't really know if they're unique or just fossils from something else. -User:Borophagus . Discuss here. GenQuest ^"scribble" 22:48, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Based on the latest words on the issue[4][5][6], I also think a merge is in order. FunkMonk (talk) 01:03, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Proposer or interested editor may want to consider a BOLD merge at this time. GenQuest ^"scribble" 04:23, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

R.I.P. Rubeosaurus

The Rubeosaurus article has now officially been merged with this article. Borophagus (talk) 12:33, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

But it doesn't seem like the info from the relevant article has been moved here? That's part of merging, though, information shouldn't be lost. FunkMonk (talk) 13:54, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I added mentions of Rubeosaurus being a possible Styracosaurus just now. 49.144.195.51 (talk) 14:22, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks better, but I'm also thinking of all the text about its discovery, description, and discussions about its historical classification, which can be seen at the old revision:[7] I can also try to copy it over if no one else gets to it. FunkMonk (talk) 14:53, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry! I meant to carry the info across, but I forgot. I'll add some more information from the Rubeosaurus article when I have the time.

Borophagus (talk) 08:56, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The information's been added.
