This is a very good article on a relatively obscure dinosaur. It contains so much information that some of it could be moved to Nemegtosauridae, which now is a redirect to Titanosauridae.
I like the direct quotes, given in this article, from Katrina Curry Rogers. However, the one: "We dug into the hillside, and the more you dug, the more bones we found" seems desperately ungrammatical. Is it accurate? If so, it will have to remain in that form, grammatical or not! Another: "Rapeto is the name of a mischievous, mythical giant in Malagasy folklore, rather like our Paul Bunyan" implies that she was Canadian? Is that correct, or was Paul Bunyan general to North America? - Ballista 08:34, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Guessed as much - will have to stay. Yes, I suppose she would be excited. - Ballista 16:18, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm no dinosaur expert, so I didn't feel comfortable making the edit on my own, but the image titled "Adult and Juvenile" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rapetosaurus_and_juvenile.jpg) is actually a picture of a juvenile rapetosaurus and an apatosaurus. Unless there's some controversy about the classification of the apatosaurus perhaps being a full-grown rapetosaurus, I feel like this image should be removed, or at least have its title changed. It's actually a different angle of the same specimen used at the top of the page. You can clearly see the difference in the bone structure of the vertebrae and pelvis in the top picture.
