Changyu Yun made Dynamoterror "invalid" and put Thanatotheristes within Daspletosaurus just months after Thanatotheristes is named. but are these studies just like the Teihivenator paper which is published in Researchgate but actually isn't formal?
but the Dynamoterror paper is also stated here.

Piauhytherium is a Toxodont known from well preserved elements, but it has been synonym i zed with Trigonodonops, another not well known Toxodont. I wonder if it was okay to either merge Piauhytherium or leave the page distinct since I found many subsequent papers still treating Piauhytherium distinct?

Hey, I'm planning to start a FAC for the article black-and-red broadbill, which recently passed GA. Since it's my first one, could you help me through it? AryKun ( talk) 06:56, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
Hi FunkMonk, I was wondering whether you could help me out here. I was trying to use this image to illustrate A Voyage Round the World, an article about Georg Forster's report on James Cook's voyage. At the FAC, I was asked to explain its publication history to prove that it is correctly licensed, and I can't. It could have been one of the pictures that Johann Reinhold Forster sold to Joseph Banks to alleviate his debts and that later made its way into the collections of the Natural History Museum, but I couldn't trace it. It's not the end of the world if I can't use it (I could use a plant engraving from Characteres generum plantarum to illustrate Forster's skills instead), but I'd like to have an animal if possible. So could you comment a the FAC one way or another? — Kusma ( talk) 09:39, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

This is to let you know that the Hoopoe starling article has been scheduled as today's featured article for October 26, 2021. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/October 26, 2021, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.
For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.

The Sierraceratops paper is making me so excited for the following reasons!
1-It marks another first dinosaur from a formation 2-It forms a clade with Coahuilaceratops and Bravoceratops, although we know that the Navajoceratops and Terminocavus paper last year said that Bravoceratops is a nomen dubium and Titanoceratops is a large Pentaceratops. I can't get access to the paper but the paper did not treat Bravoceratops dubious and treats Titanoceratops distinct. So is it safe that I can say Bravoceratops is not a nomen dubium because of the new paper? Although Navajoceratops and Terminocavus is mentioned in this study.
The turtle article is back at FAC, would you like to continue? LittleJerry ( talk) 21:21, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello:
The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article [[]] has been completed.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I found a number of times when "extend" appeared making no sense. I changed these to "extent". If "extend" was the intended word, the sentences will need a drastic rewrite. I masked one sentence of repetitive text. "Hindwards" was used repeatedly. I could not find this in either Websters or the Cambridge Dictionaries so have changed these instances to "hindward", which is in both.
Best of luck with the FA process.

There is a paper on Chinlechelys in this year, but a 2017 review by Joyce places the taxa as a synonym. The authors of the Chinlechelys this year retains the taxa as distinct. But there are some questions I had about synonyms:
Guarinisuchus is made as a synonym by Jouve in 2019 and 2020, but other authors did not support this , such as the Brachiosuchus paper this year. Although it has been mentioned by the same authors twice but I can say it's not a definite synonym.
Berruchelus was placed into Compsemys by Joyce (2019)'s review, I saw many of the fossil turtle reviews by Joyce and Vlachos placing Notoemys again in Caribemys and some taxa such as Rhinoclemmys nicoyana, Emydoidea hutchisoni, Trachemys inflata and Pseudemys hibbardi to be nomen dubium, although the diagnostic traits is published in their original papers. A user merged Berruchelus and Caribemys. I think I cannot surely believe those reviews so I can say that Caribemys and Berruchelus is not definite synonyms although Joyce puts Berruchelus into Compsemys twice, as well as I can split back those pages. And I can also say that the above Emydidae taxa that is disputed by Vlachos' reviews is not sure, that we can still say that the above taxa is valid for now.
Berruchelus has been mentioned as a species of Compsemys three times already, but all only by Joyce. Peckemys has been treated as a species of Cedrobaena by Joyce many times, but the new species of Palatobaena this year regards Peckemys as its own genus because the study did not include Joyce. Go and find Vlachos' and Joyce's "review of fossil turtles of", they did place many species and genus as nomen dubium in those reviews but for me they weren't, so we can still treat Eodortoka, Rhinoclemmys nicoyana, Pseudemys hibbardi, Trachemys inflata and Emydoidea hutchisoni valid. Also Guarinisuchus, which the synonymy has been proposed by Jouve. although she mentioned many times but in the Brachiosuchus study this year found Guarinisuchus sister to Atlantosuchus, meaning Guarinisuchus is a distinct genus by the authors of Brachiosuchus. So I think it is more reasonable that Guarinisuchus, Caribemys and Berruchelus is distinct genus for now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huinculsaurus ( talk • contribs) 06:41, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

There are something going on in Sebecus, many Sebecus species is referred in the past, but they had been assigned to other genera (S. huilensis and S.querejazus). I do see some other papers after the new genus for the two still treating them in Sebecus, and I do see an other using Fossilworks to add the two species again. Fossilworks still treats the two within Sebecus, the reference is the 2015 paper on Caipirasuchus stenognathus. There is no way that we take unnecessary pains to study an insignificant or insoluble problem, and the placement of Langstonia and Zulmasuchus all within Sebecus is not an major point of view, similar with the studies regarding Tarbosaurus as a species of Tyrannosaurus.
Also, in my view, the new species Sebecus ayrampu needs as new genus as well. 42.2.67.4 ( talk) 15:30, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

The page of Amsterdam wigeon in Wikipedia is classified as Mareca marecula, this was done on IOC bird list's taxonomic updates on following Gonzalez's study of ducks classifying Anas as paraphyletic, with the wigeons classified in Mareca along with the Amsterdam wigeon on the bird list. But IOC transferred the genus without a study, and Wikipedia bird taxonomy on birds listed on IOC always updates with taxonomic updates, and we cannot say no to IOC because IOC is the boss.
Wikipedia's page Aratinga vorohuensis is originally named as Nandayus vorohuensis, but the page was moved to Aratinga vorohuensis without a study too. The reason why the movement was made is because Nandayus is found to be a synonym of Aratinga, although there are some papers after the study of Nandayus being found as a synonym still classifying Nandayus as distinct. If we change the page again the taxonomy will be a mess again. Huinculsaurus ( talk) 15:59, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
But they do not include pre-late Quaternary species. so the taxonomic status of Aratinga (syn: Nandayus) vorohuensis is seems more harsh, because it was a Pliocene species. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huinculsaurus ( talk • contribs) 04:38, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
We can still classifying it as A. vorohuensis as Nandayus is a synonym of Aratinga. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huinculsaurus ( talk • contribs) 06:27, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
The move was done without an scientific author says that it is Aratinga, if fact all papers i'very found says it was Nandayus vorohuensis. I am still weird of why they continued to classifying Nandayus after this genus was found to be a synonym. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huinculsaurus ( talk • contribs) 23:44, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Therefore, we consider for the moment this is an unnecessary nomenclatorial change and we regard Zulmasuchus querejazus and Langstonia huilensis as junior synonyms.
This is what has said on the paper of Sebecus ayrampu from last year, but S.huilensis and S.querejazus were transferred to other genera. But there is still some taxonomists still regard the original classification, similar to how some taxonomists still regard Tarbosaurus as Tyrannosaurus bataar.In my point of view, it's not a major consensus so we can still regard Langstonia and Zulmasuchus as seperate genera. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huinculsaurus ( talk • contribs) 23:44, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
It has been proposed as a synonym since 2019, but I think if merging is rational because there is subsequent studies still regard it distinct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huinculsaurus ( talk • contribs) 23:55, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you today for Viatkogorgon, introduced: "This is the first FAC about a stem-mammal (formerly known as "mammal-like reptiles"), specifically a gorgonopsian, the first group of animals that evolved saber-teeth. This is a pretty inconspicuous member of the group, and since it was only named in 1999, it doesn't have the same kind of heavy taxonomic baggage as other, more famous gorgonopsians, and was therefore easier to write about, so most if not all the relevant literature is covered here."! - music on my talk -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:45, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi FunkMonk, I was wondering whether you could help me out here. I was trying to use this image to illustrate A Voyage Round the World, an article about Georg Forster's report on James Cook's voyage. At the FAC, I was asked to explain its publication history to prove that it is correctly licensed, and I can't. It could have been one of the pictures that Johann Reinhold Forster sold to Joseph Banks to alleviate his debts and that later made its way into the collections of the Natural History Museum, but I couldn't trace it. It's not the end of the world if I can't use it (I could use a plant engraving from Characteres generum plantarum to illustrate Forster's skills instead), but I'd like to have an animal if possible. So could you comment a the FAC one way or another? — Kusma ( talk) 09:39, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

This is to let you know that the Hoopoe starling article has been scheduled as today's featured article for October 26, 2021. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/October 26, 2021, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.

The Sierraceratops paper is making me so excited for the following reasons!
1-It marks another first dinosaur from a formation 2-It forms a clade with Coahuilaceratops and Bravoceratops, although we know that the Navajoceratops and Terminocavus paper last year said that Bravoceratops is a nomen dubium and Titanoceratops is a large Pentaceratops. I can't get access to the paper but the paper did not treat Bravoceratops dubious and treats Titanoceratops distinct. So is it safe that I can say Bravoceratops is not a nomen dubium because of the new paper? Although Navajoceratops and Terminocavus is mentioned in this study.
The turtle article is back at FAC, would you like to continue? LittleJerry ( talk) 21:21, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello:
The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article [[]] has been completed.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I found a number of times when "extend" appeared making no sense. I changed these to "extent". If "extend" was the intended word, the sentences will need a drastic rewrite. I masked one sentence of repetitive text. "Hindwards" was used repeatedly. I could not find this in either Websters or the Cambridge Dictionaries so have changed these instances to "hindward", which is in both.
Best of luck with the FA process.

There is a paper on Chinlechelys in this year, but a 2017 review by Joyce places the taxa as a synonym. The authors of the Chinlechelys this year retains the taxa as distinct. But there are some questions I had about synonyms:
Guarinisuchus is made as a synonym by Jouve in 2019 and 2020, but other authors did not support this , such as the Brachiosuchus paper this year. Although it has been mentioned by the same authors twice but I can say it's not a definite synonym.
Berruchelus was placed into Compsemys by Joyce (2019)'s review, I saw many of the fossil turtle reviews by Joyce and Vlachos placing Notoemys again in Caribemys and some taxa such as Rhinoclemmys nicoyana, Emydoidea hutchisoni, Trachemys inflata and Pseudemys hibbardi to be nomen dubium, although the diagnostic traits is published in their original papers. A user merged Berruchelus and Caribemys. I think I cannot surely believe those reviews so I can say that Caribemys and Berruchelus is not definite synonyms although Joyce puts Berruchelus into Compsemys twice, as well as I can split back those pages. And I can also say that the above Emydidae taxa that is disputed by Vlachos' reviews is not sure, that we can still say that the above taxa is valid for now.
Berruchelus has been mentioned as a species of Compsemys three times already, but all only by Joyce. Peckemys has been treated as a species of Cedrobaena by Joyce many times, but the new species of Palatobaena this year regards Peckemys as its own genus because the study did not include Joyce. Go and find Vlachos' and Joyce's "review of fossil turtles of", they did place many species and genus as nomen dubium in those reviews but for me they weren't, so we can still treat Eodortoka, Rhinoclemmys nicoyana, Pseudemys hibbardi, Trachemys inflata and Emydoidea hutchisoni valid. Also Guarinisuchus, which the synonymy has been proposed by Jouve. although she mentioned many times but in the Brachiosuchus study this year found Guarinisuchus sister to Atlantosuchus, meaning Guarinisuchus is a distinct genus by the authors of Brachiosuchus. So I think it is more reasonable that Guarinisuchus, Caribemys and Berruchelus is distinct genus for now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huinculsaurus ( talk • contribs) 06:41, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

There are something going on in Sebecus, many Sebecus species is referred in the past, but they had been assigned to other genera (S. huilensis and S.querejazus). I do see some other papers after the new genus for the two still treating them in Sebecus, and I do see an other using Fossilworks to add the two species again. Fossilworks still treats the two within Sebecus, the reference is the 2015 paper on Caipirasuchus stenognathus. There is no way that we take unnecessary pains to study an insignificant or insoluble problem, and the placement of Langstonia and Zulmasuchus all within Sebecus is not an major point of view, similar with the studies regarding Tarbosaurus as a species of Tyrannosaurus.
Also, in my view, the new species Sebecus ayrampu needs as new genus as well. 42.2.67.4 ( talk) 15:30, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

The page of Amsterdam wigeon in Wikipedia is classified as Mareca marecula, this was done on IOC bird list's taxonomic updates on following Gonzalez's study of ducks classifying Anas as paraphyletic, with the wigeons classified in Mareca along with the Amsterdam wigeon on the bird list. But IOC transferred the genus without a study, and Wikipedia bird taxonomy on birds listed on IOC always updates with taxonomic updates, and we cannot say no to IOC because IOC is the boss.
Wikipedia's page Aratinga vorohuensis is originally named as Nandayus vorohuensis, but the page was moved to Aratinga vorohuensis without a study too. The reason why the movement was made is because Nandayus is found to be a synonym of Aratinga, although there are some papers after the study of Nandayus being found as a synonym still classifying Nandayus as distinct. If we change the page again the taxonomy will be a mess again. Huinculsaurus ( talk) 15:59, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
But they do not include pre-late Quaternary species. so the taxonomic status of Aratinga (syn: Nandayus) vorohuensis is seems more harsh, because it was a Pliocene species. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huinculsaurus ( talk • contribs) 04:38, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
We can still classifying it as A. vorohuensis as Nandayus is a synonym of Aratinga. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huinculsaurus ( talk • contribs) 06:27, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
The move was done without an scientific author says that it is Aratinga, if fact all papers i'very found says it was Nandayus vorohuensis. I am still weird of why they continued to classifying Nandayus after this genus was found to be a synonym. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huinculsaurus ( talk • contribs) 23:44, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Therefore, we consider for the moment this is an unnecessary nomenclatorial change and we regard Zulmasuchus querejazus and Langstonia huilensis as junior synonyms.
This is what has said on the paper of Sebecus ayrampu from last year, but S.huilensis and S.querejazus were transferred to other genera. But there is still some taxonomists still regard the original classification, similar to how some taxonomists still regard Tarbosaurus as Tyrannosaurus bataar.In my point of view, it's not a major consensus so we can still regard Langstonia and Zulmasuchus as seperate genera. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huinculsaurus ( talk • contribs) 23:44, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
It has been proposed as a synonym since 2019, but I think if merging is rational because there is subsequent studies still regard it distinct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huinculsaurus ( talk • contribs) 23:55, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you today for Viatkogorgon, introduced: "This is the first FAC about a stem-mammal (formerly known as "mammal-like reptiles"), specifically a gorgonopsian, the first group of animals that evolved saber-teeth. This is a pretty inconspicuous member of the group, and since it was only named in 1999, it doesn't have the same kind of heavy taxonomic baggage as other, more famous gorgonopsians, and was therefore easier to write about, so most if not all the relevant literature is covered here."! - music on my talk -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:45, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
