Comments by Dunkleosteus77[edit]
- I think you use the word "subsequently" incorrectly in the last sentence of the first paragraph of the lead. Subsequently is sort of a transitional word, relating the preceding text to the proceeding text; in this case, the preceding text is about assigning teeth and tracks before its discovery and the proceeding text is about maximum theropod dinosaur size
- I suggest converting metric tons (MT or t) to short tons (ST) instead of metric tons to pounds
- Thanks for reviewing! Note that I still need to add conversions to the last three paragraphs under history. As for short tons instead of pounds, is there a particular reason for this? Not really a unit-guy... FunkMonk (talk) 20:00, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- Short tons, or U.S. tons, are equivalent to 2,000 lbs. Basically it's the imperial unit equivalent of tonnes, as the pound is the imperial equivalent of grams User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 03:28, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
- I changed it in the intro and under description as a test, does it look ok? If so, I'll change the rest. FunkMonk (talk) 16:21, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
- Looks good. I'll continue the review a bit later User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 22:41, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

- halfway down the History of discovery section you stop using converting from metric to imperial
- "shared between these genera include a the lacrimal"
- "gigantism in theropods in could have"
- "found that the presence of charcarodontosaurids" you also do this in the Feeding section
- What mammalian carnivore weighs more than a ton?
- Is "newton" supposed to be capitalized? It's not capitalized in the corresponding article either
- what is tortsional stress?
- change "...suggested that though this could be the due to a long term..." to "...suggested that though this could be due to a long term..." or "...suggested that though this could be due to the long term..."

- ref no. 8 (Carrano and Benson) has a doi (10.1080/14772019.2011.630927), and currently it reads "Matthew T. Carrano, Roger B. J. Benson & Scott D. Sampson" but it should be "Carrano, Matthew T.; Benson, Roger B. J.; Sampson, Scott D."

- remove the url for ref no. 14 (Calvo) because it does not link to the entire article, only the abstract
- I think ref no. 18 is cited incorrectly. I looked up the title and it came up with something completely different
- for ref no. 23, add the parameter |language=Spanish
- add a url parameter to http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0157793 for ref no. 30 (optional)
- for ref no. 32, replace the current url with http://palaeo-electronica.org/1999_2/gigan/issue2_99.htm
