The Dinosaur collaboration is a coordinated effort by WikiProject Dinosaurs to improve Wikipedia's dinosaur-related content. However, being a member of WikiProject Dinosaurs is not a prerequisite for participation in this collaboration. All Wikipedians, regardless of their level of expertise on the subject, are welcome to contribute. Aside from the main benefit of creating better dinosaur articles on Wikipedia, this initiative will hopefully a) Attract new editors to work on the Project; b) Improve the writing skills of existing editors; and c) Demonstrate the value of collaboration on Wikipedia. The ultimate goal of the Dinosaur Collaboration is to get at least one dinosaur or dinosaur-related article featured every month.
It was originally activated in June 2006 and coordinated by Spawn Man (talk · contribs) and collaborations work chosen every fortnight until October 2006. Six articles (of the eleven worked upon) worked on through this period ultimately achieved Featured Status, and another two achieved Good Article status. There was a short hiatus before reactivation in January 2007 with Casliber (talk · contribs) coordinating, with collaborations chosen monthly until winding down in May 2008. A further five (of thirteen worked upon) achieved Featured Status. Voting has been reactivated in December 2010 for the selection of a collaboration in January 2011. The variable pace of improvement, plus greater time required to improve articles to a Good or Featured state indicates that selecting collaborations monthly will result in us cycling through them with only a minority reaching GA. Hence as of February 2011, a new collaboration will be automatically chosen once the current one achieves Good Status (a thoroughly worked over Good Article with a strict reviewer is often close to Featured Status, so editors can either keep working to shove the first article across the line or start on the second one and take a breather).
Nomination procedure
A list of past collaborations can be viewed here.
Any user may nominate an article to be collaborated upon. Nominees should:
- Be about any dinosaur or directly dinosaur-related topic.
- Need a significant amount of work in terms of content, organization, prose, etc.
- Not be in any edit conflict or be under protection.
If you would like to nominate an article, please add it at the bottom of the list of nominees along with a short note describing why you think it should be chosen.

Nominations...
Please list nominees below using the code laid out in the above section. Newer nominees should be placed on the bottom of the list. Feel free to vote for as many nominees as you wish, but only once per nomination. Please only vote to indicate support, do not vote in the negative. If you like, add a comment in the comment's section under nomination, or on the collaboration talk page. Articles will remain on the list for three "bites" of the collaboration cherry, after which time they will be archived. For the current collaboration, see the template at the top of the page.
The next Dinosaur collaboration will be chosen on March 1st when the current nomination achieves Good Article status (rationale: activity not high enough to warrant us cycling through successful collaboration nominations without finishing what we start)

Comments:
- I think this is a pretty important article which obviously has a lot of information on it and is also very important. It has a lot of info already on it from previous efforts at fixing it up and I think all of this combines into a good mixture which shouldn't be too hard to bring up to at least a GA standard, if not to an FA.
For more complete articles
If you think an article is good enough to be a Featured Article Candidate, feel free to nominate it. However, it is recommended that you have the article peer reviewed first. Peer reviewed articles are generally more polished and are often more likely to receive votes of support on the FAC page. If you would like to discuss a particular article before sending it to be reviewed, bring it up on the talk page of the article in question, of this page, or the WikiProject Dinosaurs talk page. If you do send an article for peer review or to the FAC page, please let us know by adding it to the appropriate list below so that we can support it!
In terms of criteria consider proximity to FAC candicacy in terms of work required + personal preference + global importance WRT other dinos or FA list and wikipedia in general, in whatever ratios you wish...
