My request is to change the fact that paleontology is only related to dinosaurs, as it is truly the study of fossils. Also, Henry Fairfield was NOT the director of the museum of natural history, and during that time, it was Shawn Levy. ] (]) 13:51, 4 September 2019 (UTC) |

:{{not done}} I will make the following points: |
|
|
# You need to be more specific in your requests, e.g. something like, in section "X" change "Y" to "Z". |
|
|
# Nowhere does it say that "paleontology is only related to dinosaurs". It only mentions paleontology with respect to dinosaurs, but that is because the article is about dinosaurs; it is not implying that is the only thing they study. |
|
|
# I can find no reference to Henry Fairfield in the article. |

::. In this entire article about dinosaurs, there is no mention of Mary Anning, even though she gets a separate Wiki page for herself. Since she was the one who found a heck of a lot of fossils from 1812 into the 1840's, I'd think that today at least we could give her some of the credit she earned. ] (]) 23:26, 30 October 2024 (UTC) |

:Some of those images are iffy, for example the Titanoceratops with the imaginary frill. The current image does show Microraptor, which is close, but perhaps Archaeopteryx would be more familiar to most readers. ] (]) 19:14, 11 September 2019 (UTC) |

:I think we need to stop trying to replace the montage every year. The current one is fine, perhaps replace the ankylosaur with another more recognizable theropod, and/or the microraptor with an archie, and I wouldn't change anything else.

Trying to edit a big error in the first paragraph, but oddly the page keeps dropping to an error page, so perhaps someone else can? T. rex is an Avian Dinosaur. It is not a bird. Final sentence first paragraph is incorrect. ] (]) 01:17, 26 September 2024 (UTC) |

Mary Anning was the one who found many of the fossils along the Lymm Regis coast area, and learned a great deal about them. At this late date, surely we can give her some of the credit for finding & analyzing them. After all, she also gets a Wiki page of her own. ] (]) 23:33, 30 October 2024 (UTC) |

I think this timeline is quite strange: it includes both well-known and thoroughly-described taxa and useless, dubious taxa. How are we judging notability? Do we even need this? '']'' (] | ]) 23:50, 14 December 2019 (UTC) |

:Agree, so we'll get the Misplaced Pages time-machine out of Larry Sanger's basement (he took it and the stapler when he left) and rev it up for Jurassic. But seriously, good idea, although some of the good film stills may be in copyright. ] (]) 14:56, 3 February 2020 (UTC) |
