Paludititan
[edit]- ... that the dinosaur Paludititan lived on Hațeg Island, which is now part of Romania? Source: [1]
- ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)
5x expanded by MWAK (talk) and Robin Liesens. Nominated by Casliber (talk) at 12:49, 30 January 2017 (UTC).

*Article expansion new enough and long enough. hook is cited and confirmed by the source, and no policy violations or copyvio issues are seen in the article. The first paragraph of the Description section needs a citation, and i would suggest a hook based on Paludititan being considered a island dwarf (with image) as a very hooky alternative.--Kevmin § 13:54, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
- ALT2: ... that the dinosaur Paludititan that lived on Hațeg Island is an island dwarf?
- How do you like-
- ALT3: ... that Paludititan is a Romanian island dwarf?
- As a catchy hook that follows the sourcing--Kevmin § 23:44, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
New reviewer needed to review ALT3, which was proposed by the previous reviewer. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:29, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
- ALT3 is mostly fine, but I would get "the dinosaur" from ALT2, or it would be all unknown terms, - also I don't know if we can apply the modern Romanian to that creature. Ideas? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:27, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
- I went with the wording of alt3 as it encourages people to click to see what Paludititan is (it is a dwarf but also a titan), and it is common to call dinosaurs and other extinct taxa Chinese, Romanian, American, Brazilian based on where the fossils are found at.--Kevmin § 01:08, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
then, - but I still think "dinosaur" would make it more attractive, - seems like a term that people might want to find out about, rather than some Latin thing describe as a dwarf. - Otherwise I follow the review above. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:05, 2 March 2017 (UTC)- ps: only now I found the "titan" in the name, - better don't expect readers to notice unless I am particularly unattentive. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:07, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
