Talk:Saichania

message: Another mix-up untangled by Arbour: as stated above, MPC 100/1305 is not Saichania, though the mounts are completed with casts of the skull of the holotype of Saichania. The authors of the redescription of 2011 were also misled by this. So the taxobox image is problematic: only the skull is correct. Better to show the picture of the skull cast alone. There is a cast of the holotype on exhibition in the Warsaw Museum of Evolution, in the Palace of Culture and Science. So I call upon all Poles of good palaeontological will: surely you must once have noticed this odd structure in the heart of your capital. Step inside and make a picture of the Saichania holotype cast. It's the one stretched out on a platform just above the floor. Then upload it at WikiCommons.

replies: text: I presume this is MPC 100/1305, thus likely Pinacosaurus. We could of course put the holotype skull cast in the taxobox.--MWAK (talk) 09:47, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Carpenter still does not believe 100/1305 is Pinacosaurus but may indeed be Saichania, so... another mix-up untangled by Arbour, but two more created. On a related note, is it legit to add images or figures from articles that are open access?Azul iguana (talk) 05:59, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Omg, there are more images of Tarchia here than of Saichania. That's very confusing. It would be enough to show one image of PIN 3142/250 and note that it has been referred both to Saichania (in 2014, by Arbour et al) and back to Tarchia (in 2017 by Penkalski & Tumanova). Actually it was referred for many decades to Tarchia, then briefly to Saichania, and now back to Tarchia. In fact, it is now the holotype of a new Tarchia species, T. teresae. Therefore it is inappropriate and confusing to emphasize it here. Arbour has never defended her referral of it to Saichania, presumably because that turned out to be incorrect.Azul iguana (talk) 01:11, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's mainly because we don't have that many other images, have a look at the Commons category: But feel free to prune. FunkMonk (talk) 07:52, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
