The article was promoted 18:03, 4 June 2007.
This article has had something like 30 copyedits, a scientific peer review, a prose review, and was partially written/proofed by an expert in the field. One of the longest dinosaur articles, I think it qualifies as comprehensive. I've been through the papers and books, and nothing appears to have been left out. Discredited theories (sprawling limb position, Monoclonius assignments, filled-in fenestrae, frill/horn combat, etc) are discussed, but not given undue weight. The prose has been polished up so that it is both technically correct, but without jargon, and is understandable to the average reader. Firsfron of Ronchester 20:29, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support: I disclose that I have contributed to this article and am one of the dino collaboration coordinators but this has had one of the more thorough copyedits of all the nominations. I feel it fulfils all criteria. cheers, Cas Liber | talk | contribs 05:29, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support The work put into this article shows. Wikiproject Dinosaurs should be proud. There is nothing at all objectionable here. Good job. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 05:31, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support, having made the "prose review", there is little bone I can still find to pick at. I hope the project's artists can add an extra image soon. Circeus 05:42, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I have e-mailed the talented artist who drew Image:Achelousaurus dinosaur.png, an image of Achelousaurus, a similar animal and a Featured picture, for a possible image comparing the different species of Styracosaurus. Firsfron of Ronchester 06:53, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Limited Support, Over all very good, but I feel that more citations are needed in the popular culture section. Webster100 16:15, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Moral support as a major contributor; I too am available to help with suggested changes. J. Spencer 00:23, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
