Sources problems

Hello Gasmasque. I would like to express my thanks for the considerable expansion you are making on the articles concerning the Eugeneodontida (I hope this will be done with the mythical Helicoprion). However, I would like to point out a defect which is always present in your articles: the absence of cited pages. So be careful, I'm not saying that you have to put them on all the sources, but let's say since you seem to have a number of works, it would be preferable to cite the pages containing precise statements via the sfn or rp model. The Mosasaurus article had the same problem until recently, and it was with my intervention that the problem was corrected. On that note, good luck. Amirani1746 (talk) 08:31, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Totally legitimate criticism, I can try to work through this over the next few days. Page numbers are provided for some sources, but in some instances where only a specific quote or section is used it would definitely be more appropriate to cite only that page (regarding book sources especially). This slipped my mind to do previously, thank you for bringing it to my attention! Gasmasque (talk) 09:30, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For normal papers, we usually don't do that even for featured articles, but for longer ones, and especially books, they may be requested. But precise page numbers are usually always of advantage. If you need to cite multiple different pages of a single reference throughout the article, the easiest way is to use rp-templates; you just stick them directly behind the inline citation, e.g. <ref name="boyd2009"/>{{rp|3–5}} to cite pages 3–5. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 10:24, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gasmasque thanks for responding ! Hope that the suggested changing that i've proposed will be done soon ! Amirani1746 (talk) 15:10, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone in and added page numbers where appropriate for Romerodus and Ornithoprion, using the template above, let me know if you have any further comments! Gasmasque (talk) 16:49, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is Helicoprion is in your future project ? That's my only question for now. Amirani1746 (talk) 20:02, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not really, no. I would consider it a mostly finished article already, and I imagine it only needs some relatively minor adjustments to the prose and maybe a couple new content additions to go to GA. You can talk with @Hemiauchenia or @NGPezz since they wrote its current iteration. I have already made some minor adjustments to Helicoprion to clarify that the holotype of H. ergasaminon has been rediscovered and to fix a couple minor spelling errors, but that's about the extent of what I plan to do. Current priorities are finishing translating and writing for Parahelicoprion and Sinohelicoprion and significantly expanding the articles for members of the family Eugeneodontidae proper. I'm also working on-and-off on an expansion to Dracopristis currently, but that is nearly done. I appreciate the inquiry! Gasmasque (talk) 21:01, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Ornithoprion

On 3 December 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ornithoprion, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Ornithoprion was studied primarily using X-rays of its fossils? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ornithoprion. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Ornithoprion), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
