A reasonable article, with a few issues to clear up.
Okay, so the lead is a bit of a problem. As requested by Nergaal above, here is some stuff to helpfull improve the lead (with a basis in WP:LEAD):
The lead as it stands (as of this revision) -
In popular understanding, dinosaurs tend to be seen as creatures of fantastic appearance and usually of enormous size. Their unusual properties have allowed dinosaurs to become an enduring part of the popular culture, although along with this popularity have come important misconceptions about their lives and surroundings. Dinosaur exhibitions, parks, and museum exhibits around the world cater to and reinforce this public interest. The popularity of dinosaurs is additionally reflected in a broad array of fictional and non-fictional works including films, books, comics, and television shows.[1][2][3][4]
The lead of WP:LEAD -
The lead section, lead, or introduction of a Wikipedia article is the section before the table of contentsand first heading. The lead serves both as an introduction to the article below and as a short, independent summary of the important aspects of the article's topic. The lead should be able to stand alone as a concise overview of the article. It should establish context, explain why the subject is interesting or notable, and summarize the most important points—including any notable controversies that may exist. The emphasis given to material in the lead should roughly reflect its importance to the topic according to reliable, published sources. While consideration should be given to creating interest in reading more of the article, the lead nonetheless should not "tease" the reader by hinting at—but not explaining—important facts that will appear later in the article. The lead should contain no more than four paragraphs, should be carefully sourced as appropriate, and should be written in a clear, accessible style to invite a reading of the full article.
Now, some points about the lead -
Hope that clears stuff up a bit, but if it you still need help, don't hesitate to ask - weebiloobil ( talk) 18:14, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
