I really like the idea of a Sthn Hemisphere dino FA so am keen to help propel this one along though it is going along very nicely thankyou very much without anything from the rest of us...so.... cheers, Casliber ( talk · contribs) 12:28, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

I read through it and liked it, although someone may comment on the technical language toward the end ("respiratory system" to "pathology"). A few specific comments after going through the article:
What happened here? All went quiet. Ready to nominate Sheepy? cheers, Casliber ( talk · contribs) 01:49, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Couldn't the majungasaurs have just gotten the tooth marks in a fight over mating or territory? Not that they wouldn't have eaten their own kind but tooth marks on bones seem like pretty flimsy evidence for this kind of behaviour. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.36.130.109 ( talk) 04:06, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
If the species name was based on some teeth, how can the dentary found later be the type specimen? FunkMonk ( talk) 01:50, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
Tortosa et al. (2013) found Majungasaurus to be a member of a new subfamily, Majungasaurinae. However, I can't work out how to edit the automatic taxobox. Can somebody with a better grasp of how to use the taxoboxes change it for me? Gruekiller ( talk) 06:35, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

@ FunkMonk: On a recent change of the taxobox image, the edit was subsequently undone on the basis that the legs of the skeleton were largely not visible in the new image. The current taxobox image is quite unclear, and is very dark. The new image that was put up is much more clear, and was also the image used by the Ultimate Dinosaurs exhibition(the exhibition displaying these Majungasaurus casts). Even though the legs aren't visible, the new image suggested is much more clear, and all the bones are clearly shown. In the current image, the foot of the mount is obscured by the Rapetosaurus mount behind it. All parts in this new image are visible other than the bones beneath the pelvis and small portions of the tail. In the current image, though it includes almost all of the skeleton, it almost looks like the display is sinking into a black hole, because the current image is so dark.
