Shortcut: Dinosaur Image Review Archives This page is mainly for reviewing the accuracy of dinosaur life restorations (usually by the artists themselves, but anyone who wants an image scrutinized is welcome to post it for review). 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 dinosaur 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; if submitted, such an image will thereafter be reviewed here. 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 It is allowed to revive sections if they have been archived before being resolved, unlike regular talk page archives.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. 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).

Saltasaurus is the next without an image, yet on the net there are only iullustrations and no real skeleton, not even a skull.. do you have any image on a book or so?- LadyofHats 18:16, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[ here] is the image hope you like it... i know it has some quality issues but as i said i am soo short in time latetly.- LadyofHats 19:27, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
great image! and thanx for still finding some time for wikipedia, though you're short on time :) best wishes -- Dudo2 19:53, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
I've posted 3 images I've drawn on the Amargasaurus, Polacanthus and Acrocanthosaurus pages. Please feel free to remove them if you have any objections concerning the reconstitution (would be nice if you leave me a note though). Personnaly, I don't like the Polacanthus one. Might end up redoing it or wait for a better artist to show up. ArthurWeasley 00:22, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate your work and agree with Firsfron's comments, but would like to add that Erlikosaurus, as member of Maniraptora, was very likely feathered and thus looked more like this [12] than a prosauropod-like animal. -- Dudo2 21:09, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, excellent! -- Dudo2 12:12, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
I've remade sketches of Corythosaurus. They are based on a different skeletal reconstruction than the previous attempt. See [13] (you have quite a while before finding it). Body shape view from the side is again losange-shape, as on the reconstruction here [14]. The perspective view enhances the angular shape of the back giving a more rhombus shape to the body (my second sketch). I also include Tuojiangosaurus.
Will do diplo again later. Plan to do Baryonyx or Suchomimus, and Tsintaosaurus next. ArthurWeasley 02:00, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
I've remade Diplodocus and also had some fun with it. Bob Bakker had this idea that dippy might have had a proboscis so I added a trunk to see how it would look like. Not sure if this could be useful but wanted to show it to you. I've also opted to put some neural spines on the back. Made a fishing Suchomimus as well. ArthurWeasley 06:12, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Good evening to everyone, in order to lend a hand with the alphabetical list I've tried to draw Acrocanthosaurus based on [15]. To avoid perspective distortions, it is a lateral view. I made the chest as small as the bones let me and made the legs quite heavy: Image:Sketch acrocanthosaurus.jpg I wonder why these bipedal theropods never tipped over...
[ here]is the sketch - LadyofHats 17:59, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
I've redrawn diplodocus with a stiff neck. ArthurWeasley 21:58, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
New images. I know, Macrauchenia is not a dinosaur, but I am contemplating drawing other prehistoric animals as well. ArthurWeasley 01:46, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
I cannot comment on Macrauchenia (except to say that it looks nice to me), but these other two are very well done. They get my approval. :) Firsfron of Ronchester 21:18, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Four new drawings. ArthurWeasley 08:22, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
