Any other image, such as size comparisons or photos of skeletal mounts, can also be posted here to review their accuracy. If you want to submit paleoart images for accuracy review, place them here as well as links to what you used as references. If you want to participate as reviewer, you can put the page on your watchlist. New images of any type can also be requested by including "Request:" in the section title, and if submitted, such an image will thereafter be reviewed. Sections are archived automatically after some time when a discussion stalls, to encourage speedy responses from both artists and reviewers. It is allowed to revive sections if they have been archived before being resolved, unlike regular talk page archives. Modifications of previously uploaded amateur restorations to correct anatomical inaccuracies is encouraged (including by others than the original artists), but modifications of historical restorations are discouraged, as these should be used to show historical ideas. Drastic modifications to restorations published in peer-reviewed journals should be uploaded as separate files, so that both versions are available. Images that have been deemed inaccurate should be tagged with the Wikimedia Commons template "Inaccurate paleoart" [5] (which automatically adds the "Inaccurate paleoart" category [6]), so they can be prevented from being used and easily located for correction. User created images are not considered original research, per WP:OI and WP:PERTINENCE [a], but it is appreciated if sources used are listed in file descriptions (this is often requested during WP:Featured Article reviews).

Here are all of this user's uploads (including Teraterpeton, discussed above). I can't speak to the little anatomical details, but they seem quite good artistically. - SlvrHwk ( talk) 16:14, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
Seems new arts are uploaded and added to page. Are there any issues? Ta-tea-two-te-to ( talk) 15:15, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
Now new study [11] have shown complete remain of Ptychodus. Although paper is not freely licensed, supplementary information of the paper [12] is CC BY 4.0 which we can use some of fossil images. Either way, I think we probably need new Ptychodus reconstruction based on Mexican specimen. @ Damouraptor: or @ EvolutionIncarnate: would be interested in that? Supplementary material also includes size estimation of multiple specimens based on newly found specimen. I wonder if @ PaleoNeolitic: would be good at making new size chart?

For Makarkinia, as I see there are no morphological issue but any opinions? This blogpost estimated flying posture of Kalligrammatids [13] and shows some videos which shows slow-motion of flight of neuropterans, comparing that this would be fine. Ta-tea-two-te-to ( talk) 15:03, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi! Wanted to put this Vasuki life reconstruction up for review... since it's only known from a few vertebrae I didn't have much to go off with, but I've tried to keep it in line with Madtsoiidae in general, taking inferences from Madtsoia and Gigantophis Ansh Saxena 7163 ( talk) 18:01, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
Made this artwork to be included in the Tanis (fossil site) page. It was a bit challenging to guess where I should ask for advice in this piece, given there isn't much going on, but I decided to add it here for review. YellowPanda2001 ( talk) 12:45, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
Hey folks, our next Eocene European mammal, Dichodon.

Seems that this image is added to page without review, and uploader seems to be author of the research
[17] Dan Valentin Palcu. Seems that this image origins at late 2023.
[18] Maybe it would be fine that is created by paper author himself, but there is some concerns, that first image includes multiple logos, and size chart seems to directly taken from Prehistoric Wildlife (which is already dead website, here is archive link
[19]
[20]). How should we deal that and other than that are there any issues?

I am very rusty in my knowledge of Synapsids and even more so in their anatomy, and this image is from 2017, but I gave it a little background and improvements to make it look better. Levi bernardo ( talk) 20:50, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
@ Olmagon I have fixed Daidal, do you think it is okay now? Qohelet12 ( talk) 06:08, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Ok I tried to draw Meganeura as accurately as possible. Qohelet12 ( talk) 19:50, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
I made basic improvements to an old Cryptovenator illustration, as I said before I'm rusty with synapsids. I added lips, put gingiva, gave more shadow to necessary areas, put a more natural and neutral color to certain areas and modified the neural spines. Any comment? Levi bernardo ( talk) 09:15, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
I drew this reconstruction of Manipulator but I'm not sure if the head is well reconstructed. Any suggestions? Qohelet12 ( talk) 21:07, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello. It's been a while, but can I ask for review for my reconstruction again? This time I tried to reconstruct Koleken mostly based on the skeletal reconstruction from the official paper (?) in this page... https://novataxa.blogspot.com/2024/05/koleken.html For the scale with human, I am basing it on the femur length that is described from the paper which is 50 or so cm if I remember correctly? So that is for the reference. Is my reconstruction good enough to be put in the Koleken page? If the human scale is jarring or say "unartistic" and inaccurate, I can just omit it from the image... Thank you very much as always and sorry for my bad english!

Several skeletal reconstructions and diagrams done of Ornithoprion based on the figures provided in Zangerl's 1966 description. I've talked about this over in the Discord and these should be distinct enough to be Creative Commons, but let me know if they need to be differentiated further (and of course if there are any anatomical issues). No photos of the fossils are available on commons (Or anywhere but the description, for that matter) and even then they are quite severely crushed, so I'm not sure what can be done besides closely copying the figures in the paper to accurately represent them. I'm working on finishing up an extensive rewrite of the currently very barebones page for this guy, so I thought it could use some images besides the frankly horribly inaccurate life restoration I did a couple of years ago.
