thread_title: GA Passed

message: From a DML post on this year's Palaeontological Association meeting:
"Two studies of heterodontosaurs agree that they were not sexually
dimorphic and that the tusks were already present in juveniles.
Morphology, wear and the weakness of the lower jaw suggests that the
teeth were used for straight biting, but not tearing or slashing. The
conclusion was that the tusks were probably not used for intra-species
fighting or display, nor for defence, but that heterodontosaurs were
omnivores living in semi-arid habitat and used the teeth to kill
smallish prey."
I'm hoping for a Tetrapod Zoology post out of this. J. Spencer (talk) 21:45, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

===GA Sweeps: Pass===
As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I went through the article and made various changes, please look them over. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2007. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. --Happy editing!

thread_title: GA Sweeps: Pass

message: When searching for the classification of Pisanosaurus under the classification heading of the Pisanosaurus page I found this:
Pisanosaurus is the type genus of the Pisanosauridae, a family erected by Casamiquela in the same paper which named Pisanosaurus.[5] The Pisanosauridae family has fallen into disuse, as a 1976 study considered the group synonymous with the already named Heterodontosauridae.[8]
The paper cited in support of this is here:
Bonaparte, J.F. (1976). "Pisanosaurus mertii Casamiquela and the origin of the Ornithischia". Journal of Paleontology. 50 (5): 808–820. JSTOR 1303575.
As such Pisanosaurus would belong to the Heterodontosauridae, as would intermediary genera between Pisanosaurus and later heterodontosaurs such as Eocursor. For this reason I have added both Pisanosaurus and Eocursor to the page. (from User:Jfraatz)
