The linked site is very nice but states that the bodyfeathers are "downy". This is simply incorrect - or at best ambiguous.

Caudipteridae is the correct spelling for this family. Yes, it SHOULD be Caudipterygidae, but the authors (Zhou & Wang, 2000) did not form the name properly. I know that in some similar situations (like Ceratopia being used in place of Ceratopsia) people have gone ahead and ignored the original spelling or revised it themselves, but as Caudipteridae is a family-level taxon, it is goverened by ICZN priority rules and cannot be changed.

Is a stub tag really necessary for this article? The history log shows it's nearly 7kb long, considerably longer than most dinosaur articles... Firsfron of Ronchester 15:28, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Dinoguy2, why did you take out all the stuff about Osmolska et al? Were my ref tags not working or what? The refs are good, from The Dinosauria and Vertebrate Paleontology by Benton! That's trustworthy stuff, and shows the diversity of opinion in this debate. And, again, tahnks for trying to fix up my crappy syntax. i fixed some myself and I tried to get the italics and punctuation right so as not to drive you crazy.

The clause beginning with "as they are dromaeosaurids, ..." doesn't make sense as written. Perhaps it should be "as they are in dromaeosaurids, ..."? NoJoy ( talk) 16:12, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Someone should redirect "caudipterix" to this page. 24.252.195.3 ( talk) 04:55, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Maybe I'm asking a stupid question, but how can teeth be birdlike? As much as I know, no modern birds have teeth, only some have serrated edges of their bill. -- 77.77.241.97 ( talk) 10:32, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

I've looked at the whole article, and it doesn't mention the color of it's feathers anywhere. Hopefully someone can add that in, along with a reference to the original study made by Xu Xing et al. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dinoman45 ( talk • contribs) 09:42, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
