As well as a duff infobox, this article has typos (including an error in the scientific abbreviation, needs scientific name italicising, needs country information of fossil localities and needs one single citation used again (learn how to do it at WP:REFNAME) and full details of the citation, not just an bare url from Google Books. There are NEVER, ever put spaces in front of punctuation. An 'Occurence' section is a good idea, but not for mentionaing rarity - use it to identify the geographical areas in which it has been found - it is in the source! This typically poor page from this user came very close to being Draftified. So, @Rugoconites Tenuirugosus, please sort this out as soon as possible.

So, the occurence section needs to put the list of Geographical areas where fossils of this animal are found? If that's the case , I'm doing that right now at the time of writing this (and might finish it) Rugoconites Tenuirugosus (talk) 07:34, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Just learn to read your very minimalist source and extract all the relevant information from it. Yes, by all means put the formation names in, but also state where in the world these occur. Nick Moyes (talk) 13:50, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've stated where in the world the locations are , and also added references to where I got the information from where the locations are from. Rugoconites Tenuirugosus (talk) 20:43, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Rugoconites Tenuirugosus Good. That's better. Your references need improving, please. They're just WP:BAREURL, and we need name of publication, author date, page number ISBN number, publisher etc. Please read WP:REFBEGIN to learn how to do this properly. There's no excuse - both editing tools have a perfectly good 'Cite' button.
You should only enter the citation once, and then simply re-use it in subsequent sentences. Please read and understand WP:REFNAME for how to do this. It's not too difficult. You will find entering citations that you want to reuse much easier in WP:SourceEditor because (unfortunately) Visual Editor still doesn't have a 'refname' field that you can add yourself, which source editor does. But you can still reuse a citation in Visual Editor - it simply allocates a number to it instead. Nick Moyes (talk) 21:24, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So basically ,I first need to put a reference , right that right? then , I need to copy this ref name="auto"/ (I wasn't able to add the < and > because it'll put in the reference thingy) in order to repeat the reference without actually having to put it twice (I got this from editing the source) Rugoconites Tenuirugosus (talk) 16:34, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Reply to my comment: I've since then learned how to make references, yay! Rugoconites Tenuirugosus (talk) 06:58, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
