this sentence in thedescription section sounds awkward to me. "The most distinctive feature of Therizinosaurus was the presence of three gigantic claws on each digit of its frontlimbs." it reads as if there are three claws per digit, giving the animal a total of nine or twelve claws per hand...comments???

I had rewritten much of this article to use "its" when referring to Therizinosaurus, as the treatment of a genus as a singular seems to be the usual standard. User: Firsfron reverted me with the explanation that "this is an entire genus, not a single specimen". I am bringing the matter here for discussion. -- Khajidha ( talk) 21:36, 7 November 2012 (UTC) reply

Treating the genus as a singular is common but not grammatically correct. A genus name, like a family name, is a collective noun. MMartyniuk ( talk) 23:12, 7 November 2012 (UTC) reply

If the use of "their" is preferred for dinosaur articles on wikipedia, why do several featured article level dinosaur articles use "its"? -- Khajidha ( talk) 16:52, 11 November 2012 (UTC) reply

Because it's easy to forget and start using the wrong word (as I've done myself on many occasions). But here we have an example of an article which actually uses the correct grammar. No need to switch to something less grammatical just to "standardize", IMO. Firsfron of Ronchester 22:28, 11 November 2012 (UTC) reply

Has the skull of this animal ever been found? I think I have seen reconstructions with both a large and a small head.

As can be seen on the diagram in the article, only postcranial material is known. The head is reconstructed after related animals. FunkMonk ( talk) 17:43, 4 January 2015 (UTC) reply

The female figure is a bit too small, if she's an adult woman. Look to the first diagram for a closer approximation. 50.111.41.216 ( talk) 01:53, 10 April 2018 (UTC) reply

Since there is already a size comparison, we might simply remove the human from the life restoration... FunkMonk ( talk) 11:47, 10 April 2018 (UTC) reply

• Hi, Kingmeatballs, GA nominations should preferably be made by editors who have worked on the article in question, which doesn't seem to be the case here. The bulk of the article was written by PaleoNeolitic, and I'm not sure they feel ready to nominate it. FunkMonk ( talk) 12:21, 6 July 2021 (UTC) reply

Mmmhh yeah, quite not feeling it. I think there are some issues around the Description section. PaleoNeolitic ( talk) 14:20, 6 July 2021 (UTC) reply
