Comments by Dunkleosteus77

I think you use the word "subsequently" incorrectly in the last sentence of the first paragraph of the lead. Subsequently is sort of a transitional word, relating the preceding text to the proceeding text; in this case, the preceding text is about assigning teeth and tracks before its discovery and the proceeding text is about maximum theropod dinosaur size

Changed wording. FunkMonk (talk) 21:08, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest converting metric tons (MT or t) to short tons (ST) instead of metric tons to pounds

Thanks for reviewing! Note that I still need to add conversions to the last three paragraphs under history. As for short tons instead of pounds, is there a particular reason for this? Not really a unit-guy... FunkMonk (talk) 20:00, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Short tons, or U.S. tons, are equivalent to 2,000 lbs. Basically it's the imperial unit equivalent of tonnes, as the pound is the imperial equivalent of grams User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 03:28, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it in the intro and under description as a test, does it look ok? If so, I'll change the rest. FunkMonk (talk) 16:21, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. I'll continue the review a bit later User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 22:41, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

halfway down the History of discovery section you stop using converting from metric to imperial

Yep, was waiting for your approval of the conversion above, will fix now. FunkMonk (talk) 15:08, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Conversions done, phew... FunkMonk (talk) 16:13, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"shared between these genera include a the lacrimal"

Fixed. FunkMonk (talk) 15:08, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"gigantism in theropods in could have"

Fixed. FunkMonk (talk) 15:08, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"found that the presence of charcarodontosaurids" you also do this in the Feeding section

Whoops, fixed. FunkMonk (talk) 15:08, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What mammalian carnivore weighs more than a ton?

I think it is just a hypothetical animal, to show that mammals have faster metabolism. But the source doesn't specify. FunkMonk (talk) 14:43, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is "newton" supposed to be capitalized? It's not capitalized in the corresponding article either

Decapitalised. FunkMonk (talk) 15:08, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

what is tortsional stress?

Removed t. FunkMonk (talk) 15:08, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

change "...suggested that though this could be the due to a long term..." to "...suggested that though this could be due to a long term..." or "...suggested that though this could be due to the long term..."

Removed stray "the". FunkMonk (talk) 15:08, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

References

Use {{cite journal}} for ref no. 4 (Calvo and Coria)

Done. FunkMonk (talk) 21:08, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

For ref no. 6 (Holtz, Jr.) add the |date parameter as 13 January 2012 (when it was last updated)

Fixed. FunkMonk (talk) 16:21, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

ref no. 8 (Carrano and Benson) has a doi (10.1080/14772019.2011.630927), and currently it reads "Matthew T. Carrano, Roger B. J. Benson & Scott D. Sampson" but it should be "Carrano, Matthew T.; Benson, Roger B. J.; Sampson, Scott D." Also there's a free version at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/230808558_The_phylogeny_of_Tetanurae_Dinosauria_Theropoda

Fixed citation, but see below for Researchgate... FunkMonk (talk) 19:00, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

ref no. 10 (Coria and Currie) has a free version at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/228655543_A_new_carcharodontosaurid_Dinosauria_Theropoda_from_the_Upper_Cretaceous_of_Argentina
ref no. 11 has a free version at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/233661959_Cranial_endocast_of_the_carcharodontosaurid_theropod_Giganotosaurus_carolinii_CORIA_SALGADO_1995 and a doi of 10.1127/0077-7749/2010/0104 . Also, it reads "Ariana Paulina Carabajal & J.I. Canale" but it should be "Carabajal, Ariana Paulina; Canale, J. I."
ref no. 12 (Novas and de Valais) has a free version at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/7901883_A_large_Cretaceous_theropod_from_Patagonia_Argentina_and_the_evolution_of_carcharodontosaurids
ref no. 13 (Canale and Novas) has a free version at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/273143583_Osteology_and_phylogenetic_relationships_of_Tyrannotitan_chubutensis_Novas_de_Valais_Vickers-Rich_and_Rich_2005_Theropoda_Carcharodontosauridae_from_the_Lower_Cretaceous_of_Patagonia_Argentina

I'm not entirely sure if research gate is accepted on Wikipedia? It seems to be "unofficial" uploads, that circumvent the publishers? FunkMonk (talk) 16:25, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

remove the url for ref no. 14 (Calvo) because it does not link to the entire article, only the abstract

Done. FunkMonk (talk) 21:08, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think ref no. 18 is cited incorrectly. I looked up the title and it came up with something completely different

Sure you mean ref 18? It is two completely different papers, the one in this article is a conference abstract[1] announcing Giganotosaurus from 1994, the one you linked is the 2005 description of Tyrannotitan, which is used here as ref 12. FunkMonk (talk) 14:06, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

for ref no. 23, add the parameter |language=Spanish

Done. FunkMonk (talk) 15:08, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

add a url parameter to http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0157793 for ref no. 30 (optional)

The DOI field is already a link to the same free article (same for all PLOS One and other CC licensed articles). I don't think we need duplicate links in a single ref. FunkMonk (talk) 14:11, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

for ref no. 32, replace the current url with http://palaeo-electronica.org/1999_2/gigan/issue2_99.htm

They're already the same? FunkMonk (talk) 14:11, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

ref no. 33 has a free version at https://www.app.pan.pl/archive/published/app46/app46-193.pdf

It is a free journal, that pdf is linked already if you go to the current url. FunkMonk (talk) 14:11, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, this passed? FunkMonk (talk) 11:19, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
