FunkMonk, I noticed that you recently took over a GA review that had been effectively abandoned by Lythronaxargestes, Talk:Arktocara/GA1. The editor has just posted a "retired" template on their talk page.
The problem is that they also have another GA review open: Talk:Thomas's pika/GA1. I was wondering whether you would be willing to take this one over—I see that you suggested there a couple of weeks ago that a second opinion might be requested, but it's going to need someone to continue and conclude the review, not just render an opinion.
Please let me know. If you don't feel you can take this one on in addition to the other review, I'll see if I can find someone else. Many thanks. BlueMoonset ( talk) 15:23, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello, FunkMonk. I have seen that you are an active user in Wikipedia:WikiProject Palaeontology/Paleoart review, and I wanted to ask you some questions. I want to upload an image of Paleomerus, here I have an illustration, and I would like to know how I could do it. Are there programs that help you do this or can i do it by hand? Thanks in advance.

Hi FunkMonk: The Wiki Education Foundation is developing a guide to help students write about all topics related to science communication, and I’m reaching out to a small number of experienced editors with interest in science topics on Wikipedia to see if they’d be interested in providing feedback. The handout is meant to supplement other resources that students consult, such as an interactive training and basic editing brochures. We’d appreciate any feedback on the draft by 3/12. Would you be interested in taking a look? — Cassidy (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 18:31, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi FunkMonk! I've been going through User:Sanajeh's page creations and changes now that they've been banned to try to make sure their disruptive edits have been undone, but for some articles my lack of background in paleontology makes things hard to judge. For example, Chenoanas is definitely a proposed extinct genus of duck, but has only ever been written about by one author, Nikita Zelenkov, who proposed it and its type species in 2012 [6] and a new species quite recently [7], but there is no other scholarship on it, other than Zelenkov referencing it elsewhere, and a couple citations of their papers by others who aren't actually discussing Chenoanas like [8]. Additionally, I can't find it in fossilworks.org or the Paleobiology Database.
In my general understanding of scientific literature, this typically would indicate an idea which has not yet been accepted/verified/reviewed by others, or a failed proposal of restructuring ideas or even a summarily dismissed fringe theory, none of which would be particularly notable, so I'm not sure about the protocol regarding having an article on it. I mean, on the one hand, it's not necessarily misleading anyone, but on the other hand, having an encyclopedia entry for a genus about which only one person has published two papers and which is not listed in public fossil records, seems a bit odd.
So I guess my question is, is this typical for paleontology? Are there so many taxons being proposed and fossils being found that it is usual for only one researcher or group to publish evidence of something but for it still to be valid and accepted? Or are there criteria for what is valid and what is just a proposal? Is there some other sort of authority I can look to in order to determine its standing in the field. I'm not overly concerned with Chenoanas but it brought up issues I wasn't sure about. Sorry for the ramble, I've just been falling into the rabbit hole and am quite curious and confused, and you seem to be knowledgeable. Feel free to foist me off elsewhere!

FINAL UPDATE HOPEFULLY: Without having to go through the whole rigmarole, the admin who blocked Ozarcus then, I guess, CheckUser'd them and found User:Sanajeh, User:Cryolepis, User:Lapitavenator and them to be socks, along with User:Rhaeticosaurus, User:Santanasauris, and User:Shartegodon altai who I hadn't seen anyone mention... hopefully this will be the end of it. I almost wish I'd made an ANI sooner, but erring on the side of caution and not jumping in without all the info is usually a good strategy. Thanks everyone for your help!

Hi! I don't think my edits on Paraceratherium are worth mentioning to be on the talk page. It's just that 66000 lb is 33 tons, which is less accurate conversion to 30 tonnes than 33.1 tons, and 24000 lb is 12 tons, which is less accurate conversion to 11 tonnes than 12.1 tons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.225.204.96 ( talk) 20:14, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Well, according to my internet experience, people rarely use kilograms or pounds for animals larger than the largest rhinoceroses of today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.225.204.96 ( talk) 20:30, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
According to my experience, short tons are much more commonly used. It's possible to use both long tons and short tons in the article though, as I saw that at a number of articles, e. g. at Dreadnoughtus.
Another example I know Is Apatosaurus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.225.204.96 ( talk) 21:06, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for Lesser Antillean macaw, "a species of macaw that may or may not have existed. At the time of writing, the species is not recognised by the IUCN, though it was until at least 2013.

Really sorry about this. I really hate the new watchlist features that were introduced not too long ago, which I'm assuming use JavaScript. It's not so bad on my desktop and laptop, but on my tablet, it can take 30 seconds or longer for that whole menu bar to load. I always forget about that and think it's loaded, scroll down my watchlist, and go to tap something. Nothing works, but once the bar loads, the tap registers. Unfortunately, when it finally loads, the page shifts, so whatever is where the tap happened is what is actually tapped instead of what I wanted. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 17:47, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

I nominated the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant article for FA status here: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Ford Piquette Avenue Plant/archive1. I saw on the Wikipedia:Mentoring for FAC page that you have an interest in history, so I believe the subject of this article may interest you. This building played a huge yet mostly unknown role in the early years of the automotive industry in the United States. Any input that you would be willing to provide on its review page would be helpful, but what will help the most is confirming whether it meets the FA criteria. Thanks in advance.

Hello there FunkMonk. Remember how we used to have a page about the new-ish oviraptorosaur Anomalipes? Well, a user named Bbb23 deleted it as the user who created it was blocked, also removing the Tratayenia page in the process. She's? (I presume she's a girl) since restored the latter page; when I asked her to restore Anomalipes she couldn't do it because she couldn't verify the source, and asked me to go to an editor with a better editing history to talk to, so I came here. So what do you think, should we restore the page of Anomalipes? Atlantis536 ( talk) 07:56, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome back, yes, I had other activities to do. I think we will ever have the disagreement about the images. Now I've seen the site on a widescreen computer and I understand the point about the white spaces now, I didn't see that before, not with any resolution or device (mobile) tried. But we will always disagree about the amount of images, I am a very visual person, as I think many other geologists and interested people in these subjects are, so the more visual support for the story told, the better. Of course it needs to be relevant, but in my opinion the images I add are relevant to the points made in the article.
Also I have planned some new articles and want to spend time on those. For me it's good enough if they are B-class and not boosted into GA, I know they're good anyway, you know my standards of work and referencing. ;-) Have you seen the South American land mammal age? I think we have a great list with lots of possible infill. Also linked it at the Portal:Prehistory of South America, which I think has become quite nice, can be improved still, but the main core is there. We will stay in contact anyway, I have now completely maintained the South American paleontological articles outside of the dinosaurs (and of them some too), with proper and neat categorizations and catsorts. Once in a while I will do some ce work on the Paleontology WP, like today with Tikitherium that I saw. Cheers, Tisquesusa ( talk) 00:13, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

FunkMonk, I noticed that you recently took over a GA review that had been effectively abandoned by Lythronaxargestes, Talk:Arktocara/GA1. The editor has just posted a "retired" template on their talk page.
The problem is that they also have another GA review open: Talk:Thomas's pika/GA1. I was wondering whether you would be willing to take this one over—I see that you suggested there a couple of weeks ago that a second opinion might be requested, but it's going to need someone to continue and conclude the review, not just render an opinion.
Please let me know. If you don't feel you can take this one on in addition to the other review, I'll see if I can find someone else. Many thanks. BlueMoonset ( talk) 15:23, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi FunkMonk: The Wiki Education Foundation is developing a guide to help students write about all topics related to science communication, and I’m reaching out to a small number of experienced editors with interest in science topics on Wikipedia to see if they’d be interested in providing feedback. The handout is meant to supplement other resources that students consult, such as an interactive training and basic editing brochures. We’d appreciate any feedback on the draft by 3/12.

Hi FunkMonk! I've been going through User:Sanajeh's page creations and changes now that they've been banned to try to make sure their disruptive edits have been undone, but for some articles my lack of background in paleontology makes things hard to judge. For example, Chenoanas is definitely a proposed extinct genus of duck, but has only ever been written about by one author, Nikita Zelenkov, who proposed it and its type species in 2012 [6] and a new species quite recently [7], but there is no other scholarship on it, other than Zelenkov referencing it elsewhere, and a couple citations of their papers by others who aren't actually discussing Chenoanas like [8]. Additionally, I can't find it in fossilworks.org or the Paleobiology Database.
In my general understanding of scientific literature, this typically would indicate an idea which has not yet been accepted/verified/reviewed by others, or a failed proposal of restructuring ideas or even a summarily dismissed fringe theory, none of which would be particularly notable, so I'm not sure about the protocol regarding having an article on it. I mean, on the one hand, it's not necessarily misleading anyone, but on the other hand, having an encyclopedia entry for a genus about which only one person has published two papers and which is not listed in public fossil records, seems a bit odd.
So I guess my question is, is this typical for paleontology? Are there so many taxons being proposed and fossils being found that it is usual for only one researcher or group to publish evidence of something but for it still to be valid and accepted? Or are there criteria for what is valid and what is just a proposal? Is there some other sort of authority I can look to in order to determine its standing in the field. I'm not overly concerned with Chenoanas but it brought up issues I wasn't sure about. Sorry for the ramble, I've just been falling into the rabbit hole and am quite curious and confused, and you seem to be knowledgeable. Feel free to foist me off elsewhere!

Hi! I don't think my edits on Paraceratherium are worth mentioning to be on the talk page. It's just that 66000 lb is 33 tons, which is less accurate conversion to 30 tonnes than 33.1 tons, and 24000 lb is 12 tons, which is less accurate conversion to 11 tonnes than 12.1 tons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.225.204.96 ( talk) 20:14, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

According to my experience, short tons are much more commonly used. It's possible to use both long tons and short tons in the article though, as I saw that at a number of articles, e. g. at Dreadnoughtus.

Really sorry about this. I really hate the new watchlist features that were introduced not too long ago, which I'm assuming use JavaScript. It's not so bad on my desktop and laptop, but on my tablet, it can take 30 seconds or longer for that whole menu bar to load. I always forget about that and think it's loaded, scroll down my watchlist, and go to tap something. Nothing works, but once the bar loads, the tap registers. Unfortunately, when it finally loads, the page shifts, so whatever is where the tap happened is what is actually tapped instead of what I wanted. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 17:47, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello there FunkMonk. Remember how we used to have a page about the new-ish oviraptorosaur Anomalipes? Well, a user named Bbb23 deleted it as the user who created it was blocked, also removing the Tratayenia page in the process. She's? (I presume she's a girl) since restored the latter page; when I asked her to restore Anomalipes she couldn't do it because she couldn't verify the source, and asked me to go to an editor with a better editing history to talk to, so I came here.

Thanks for the welcome back, yes, I had other activities to do. I think we will ever have the disagreement about the images. Now I've seen the site on a widescreen computer and I understand the point about the white spaces now, I didn't see that before, not with any resolution or device (mobile) tried. But we will always disagree about the amount of images, I am a very visual person, as I think many other geologists and interested people in these subjects are, so the more visual support for the story told, the better. Of course it needs to be relevant, but in my opinion the images I add are relevant to the points made in the article.
Also I have planned some new articles and want to spend time on those. For me it's good enough if they are B-class and not boosted into GA, I know they're good anyway, you know my standards of work and referencing. ;-) Have you seen the South American land mammal age? I think we have a great list with lots of possible infill. Also linked it at the Portal:Prehistory of South America, which I think has become quite nice, can be improved still, but the main core is there. We will stay in contact anyway, I have now completely maintained the South American paleontological articles outside of the dinosaurs (and of them some too), with proper and neat categorizations and catsorts. Once in a while I will do some ce work on the Paleontology WP, like today with Tikitherium that I saw. Cheers, Tisquesusa ( talk) 00:13, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/October 27, 2018, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1100 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:04, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
