Wang et al. (2020) resurrect Miomastodon Osborn, 1922 from synonymy with Zygolophodon based on comparisons of Zygolophodon gobiensis (Osborn & Granger, 1932) and Zygolophodon tongxinensis (Chen, 1978) with the type species of Miomastodon, M. merriami but also the Zygolophodon type species and gomphotheres, placing both species in Miomastodon. In their renaming of American mastodons from the western US as Mammut pacificus, Dooley et al. (2019) hinted that Miomastodon needed to be re-assessed relative to Zygolophodon, and the paper by Wang et al. confirms hints by Dooley et al. that Miomastodon is a separate genus from Zygolophodon. Therefore, I wanted to ask if anyone volunteer to create a new Wikipedia article for Miomastodon.
