The jurassic park velociraptors are based off of deinonychus, AKA Velociraptor antirrhopus. Velociraptor (Deinonychus) in the movie is named correctly but is commonly confused with Velociraptor mongoliensis. Black, Riley. "You say "Velociraptor," I say "Deinonychus"". www.smithsonianmag.com. Smithsonian. Retrieved 11 February 2020.
I understand that, but I think the page should have a section about the differences between velociraptor mongoliensis and velociraptor antirrhopus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MeatsByDrDre ( talk • contribs) 15:02, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
I think the article should at least mention the existence of Velociraptor Antirrhopus (Using the name Velociraptor Antirrhopus instead of deinonychus). I also think that when talking about the jurassic park velociraptor inaccuracies we should mention that it is accurate in size to antirrhopus, not mongoliensis, which this article is about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MeatsByDrDre ( talk • contribs) 17:48, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
Much of the article Velociraptor in popular culture already has what this article (and the Deinonychus article) talks about under the "Cultural significance" section, and is almost entirely made up of what this article's section covers with similar cited sources. It also has a number of uncited (and potentially "headcanon") claims, and its overall layout goes against as to what Wikipedia's goal is.

Could this be where both Velociraptor and Velociraptor in popular culture can be merged together, considering how much of its layout is made up of what the Velociraptor article covers already in one section? 2600:1700:9770:6760:E4B1:EC23:7962:964B ( talk) 21:15, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
Why am I seeing a Jurassic World Velociraptor image? And when I click the image, why does it turns back to the accurate reconstruction? (BTW this happens when I'm using a computer not my phone, so I find this very weird.) Junsik1223 ( talk) 09:43, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

It at one point says Velociraptor could reach as tall as 6.8ft, but then goes on to say that they were not as big as the 6.6ft dinosaurs depicted in Jurassic Park. 2600:4040:9165:CA00:4968:B6CB:4178:1565 ( talk) 04:09, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
