Might as well make myself more versed in eurypterid anatomy and such right ;) I'll start looking over the article here soon. IJReid {{T - C - D - R}} 18:50, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Description

History

  • "Pterygotus" doesn't need quotation marks
  • "large fish, Pterygotus ..." I believe a semicolon is appropriate instead of a comma
  • The two paragraphs on P. bolivianus could be merged
  • Not quite sure what a "free ramus" is: if it has been linked or described before or not
  • "Middle Devonian P. gaspesiensis (1953, Canada)" as a Canadian I am mildly offended that the American species have their states/province listed but not the Canadian one, especially considering Canada is larger than the US
    • I apologize for this unfortunate slight against your nation but I'm going to have to blame the source used for only putting its location as "Canada". I have added in its location as the more precise "Quebec, Canada" based on another source. Ichthyovenator (talk) 18:12, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • No discussion of P. carmani, P. cobbi, P. gaspesiensis, P. ludensis, ?P. formosus, P. nobilis, P. siemiradzkii
    • I think P. problematicus should also be discussed. I know that it has been considered a nomen vanum, but it is one more species that should have its own inclusion in the article, perhaps under the "Initial finds" section. Super Ψ Dro 18:36, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • All species with the exception of P. formosus are now discussed in the article. It has proven inexplicably difficult to track down anything to go on for this one. This paper posits that it was originally described in this work, but as you can see this is a work that from a quick browsing through (pdf version) obviously deals with plants almost entirely. Though Pterygotus is referenced in the beginning as occuring at the same localities as some of the plants I see no new species of it being described and as far as I have been able to see no mention of anything with the species name "formosus".

Alright thats fine. If you can find any other sources on it that would be great but its not necessary. IJReid {{T - C - D - R}} 16:00, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Struck out comments, I think only the few points left remain to be corrected. IJReid {{T - C - D - R}} 04:37, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Looks like everything is done, time to give it the green plus! IJReid {{T - C - D - R}} 18:18, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
