I could say more but the convoluted taxonomic history is to leave one speachless

thread_title: Mosasaur Genera List WIP

message: Hey Dinobird,
Shouldn't this project be named "Prehistoric aquatic animals" instead ? I guess the name was inspired from the BBC "Sea Monsters" documentary by Tim Haines, but really it also evokes things such as the Kraken and the Loch Ness Monster, and also today's real monsters such as the Giant squid, the White Shark or theAnglerfish. Also, all prehistoric aquatic animals were not "monsters" (Ophthalmosaurus and Archelon were kind of cute). I guess, you do not want to restrict yourself to the creatures seen in the BBC documentary. But overall, good thinking, it's nice to have a project to deal with what is not covered by the WP Dinosaurs and Pterosaurs, i.e. plesiosaurs, ichthyosaurs, mosasaurs, nothosaurs, prehistoric fish, Sea crocs, prehistoric cetaceans and so on... Good luck with the project! ArthurWeasley 18:13, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: I made a template..

message: I think it's both a pity and somewhat illogical that we have no animal WikiProject despite the fact that there are over 20 projects that are basically its daughters. There are also other projects that could emerge from it in the future, such as one on animal behavior. The project would provide a central place for people from all animal projects to talk, a central set of guidelines for articles on animals and zoology, and an assessment system for articles related to animals. If you are interested in creating such a project please visit Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of life#Animals project to discuss. Richard001 08:46, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Animals project proposal

message: There is a current proposal to change an animal-related naming convention, which directly effects the the Manual of Style guideline, and the naming conventions policy. If you are interested, your input would be appreciated. Justin chat 06:32, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Not sure if this project is still alive anymore... but someone might want to take a look at this rather randomly titled article that should have been redirected to mosasaurus a long time ago. Kare Kare (talk) 02:30, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

text: As there hasn't been any discussion on this article, I've merged the information into the Mosasaurus article, and set up a redirect. Mark t young (talk) 08:05, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Mosasaurus Conybeare in Parkinson, 1822]]

message: (This was originally posted to the Talk of WikiProject Dinosaurs: it may be of interest to you guys.) --
Since they aren't really dinosaurs, I'm not sure if I should ask here or at Amphibians and Reptiles. Currently we have a stub article of about six sentences at Thalattosauridae, a single sentence at Nectosaurus, and nothing at all on Thalattosaurus. I've started a Thalattosaurus article here; can anyone contribute? - Posted by Vultur 4 February 2008. - Sig added by Writtenonsand (talk) 05:24, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi everyone, 
A new WikiProject, Palaeontology has been set up, and aims to be the umbrella project uniting Dinos, pterosaurs and monsters from the deep, alongside all the other palaeo article out there that aren't under a strict wikiproject. It was only set up today, so support, opinions and/or criticism is needed. I have come around to this idea, as there are a large number of articles out there in dire need of work, and this would be an excellent way to bring in some collaborative editing. Cheers guys and dolls, Mark t young (talk) 15:33, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
