Cristatusaurus[edit]
Illustrated jaw bones of adult and juvenile Cristatusaurus
- ... that the name of the theropod dinosaur Cristatusaurus (fossils pictured) means "crested reptile", in reference to a thin sagittal crest located on top of its snout? Source: "Etymology: Cristatus: crested (Latin). Sauros: (Greek) lizard/reptile." "Premaxilla short, strongly ‘hooked’ in lateral profile, increases in height posteriorly. Dorsal surface narrows into crest posteriorly." [1]
- Comment: Passed its GA review yesterday. I've only nominated two other DYKs (Oxalaia, and Atlanticopristis) so I am exempt from quid pro quo at the moment. ▼PσlєοGєєкƧɊƲΔƦΣƉ▼ 02:03, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
Improved to Good Article status by PaleoGeekSquared (talk). Self-nominated at 02:02, 28 September 2018 (UTC).
- Comment Looks long enough & well-sourced. I find the hook a bit unclear, tho: the article says it may be a nomen dubium, which suggests mis-identification; the hook implies something a bit different (& stronger?). And IMO the hook has an appeal more to specialists than a general audience; a change to "mis-identified" (or something similar) might broaden that.

- Trekphiler Yeah, I was unsure about what to come up with for the hook, since it's a rather obscure and fragmentary taxon. I've rewritten it to stick with the "safe option" then, which is the creature's etymology. ▼PσlєοGєєкƧɊƲΔƦΣƉ▼ 18:38, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
Full review needed now that hook has been updated. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:08, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi PaleoGeekSquared. Article promoted to GA on 27 September and hasn't previously featured on DYK; article is well written and cited throughout to reliable sources; I can't access many of the sources but happy to AGF no copyright violations from them based on the standing of the editor; the hook fact is interesting enough, I added a citation immediately after it to comply with the DYK rules; I cannot access the source cited but happy to AGF that it supports the fact; image is freely licensed but I don't think it adds much at this scale; no QPQ needed as only two prior DYKs. Looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 07:32, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for reviewing! I've swapped the previous image out for the diagram at the start of the description section, since it's more informative and a lot more clear at this size. ▼PσlєοGєєкƧɊƲΔƦΣƉ▼ 07:57, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
- Cheers PaleoGeekSquared. New image is freely licensed, I will AGF that it contains no original research - Dumelow (talk) 09:07, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
