I actually created seperate articles for the genus Xenoposeidon and the species Xenoposeidon proneneukus, but then I redirected the species article to the genus article, becuase that seems to be the normal wikipedia policy. I love starting new articles, and I have always been especially eager to start one on a newly discovered species of dinosaur! Grundle2600 07:30, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
The "new family" claim is based on a misunderstanding. Taylor and Naish intended this in an informal way and within a geographical context, showing you can never be too careful when dealing with journalists :o). The genus has not been ascribed to any family, conforming to modern enlightened practice-- MWAK 09:18, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
... But I stand by the "new 'family'" claim so long as the word family is in scare-quotes. In so far as "family" has any biological meaning (and the Wikipedia is pretty Linaean after all), Xeno really doesn't fit any of the established families -- as we show by elimination in the paper.

Hi, Mike! Is there anything to "Pompeysaurus"? Someone added it to this article a couple of days ago, and I also found it here. J. Spencer ( talk) 23:18, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Mike Taylor here. The name "Pompeysaurus" was just some sub-editor's lame joke in a local newspaper headline. I would really like it not to be perpetuated at all. Thanks. By the way, there is A LOT more about Xeno now over at our blog SV-POW!, some of which may be appropriate to add here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MirkMeister ( talk • contribs) 16:08, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
