A few comments[edit]

  • Avisaurus was... much bigger than that (see Fig. 15, the tarsometatarsus is significantly larger than that of Mirarce, which is estimated at being roughly turkey-sized). I'm not concrete on this but the size of the other birds look off as well
  • Why are Edmontonia and Denversaurus listed separately? There is only one species of nodosaurid known from the Hell Creek Formation, D./E. schlessmani.
  • Quetzalcoatlus and Mosasaurus per se are not known from the Hell Creek Formation (only smaller representatives of each clade are known), so it is misleading to put them here
  • A bunch of the silhouettes also seem to be taken from other, potentially non-free sources (the Acheroraptor and Struthiomimus are renders from the video game Saurian, the Ornithomimus originates here, and the Brodavis, "Potamornis", and Denversaurus originate from this blog) without credit

It looks like this image (and several of the user's other uploads) did not go through WP:WikiProject Dinosaurs/Image review, which may have caught trivial errors such as these. The image was last updated with the commentary "do not change this file", seemingly in reaction to a previous update by another user, implying the uploader does not want anyone else to edit the file. I can't help but note, however, that the user has done so themselves to another user's image in the past, which seems a double standard. Demanding others to not edit one's own files is likely a violation of WP:OWN. Unless these can be fixed, and proper image review protocol is followed in the future, action may need to be taken.

I have just realized that this talk page existed, my bad. Already making updated to the file and giving proper credit for the silhouettes. The "do not change this file" was intended for users to not change the diagram colors. PaleoNeolitic (talk) 15:04, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The silhouettes were questioned on the grounds of whether they're free for use, not just that they were credited. Lusotitan (Talk | Contributions) 03:22, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
