I will review this as soon as we finish with Hughmilleriidae. Pinging FunkMonk so he can to monitor my actions or suggest something that I do not see. Super Ψ Dro 20:24, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to have you aboard :) Ichthyovenator (talk) 20:44, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be looking over your shoulder! FunkMonk (talk) 21:15, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for waiting. Let's start. Super Ψ Dro 09:57, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just a heads up; I'm currently on vacation so I will be unable to adress your comments for a few days. I should be able to get onto responding and adressing comments properly by Tuesday or Wednesday next week, hopefully that's okay. Ichthyovenator (talk) 21:41, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for notifying. Have a nice holiday! Super Ψ Dro 22:16, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Back now! Ichthyovenator (talk) 19:45, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• "The Necrogammarus fossil is Late Silurian in age and" It sounds strange to me. Maybe "The Necrogammarus fossil is from the Late Silurian age and"?

I think this is pretty correct English. If you for example search "is *insert period* in age" on Google Scholar, you get many papers with that phrasing. FunkMonk (talk) 11:08, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, if it is correct, it does not need to be changed. Super Ψ Dro 12:23, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Link "lobster".

Done. Ichthyovenator (talk) 19:45, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• "a fragmentary section of a large pterygotid eurypterid in 1986." It would be good to mention by whom.

Done. Ichthyovenator (talk) 19:45, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Link "coxae" to the Coxa subsection of the Arthropod leg page.

Done. Ichthyovenator (talk) 19:45, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• "both Ludlow (Late Silurian) in age." See above.
• "was first described by prominent eurypterid researchers". "was first described by the prominent eurypterid researchers".

Done. Ichthyovenator (talk) 19:45, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• link "lobster" again.

Done. Ichthyovenator (talk) 19:45, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• "the name honoring Humphrey Salwey who had originally discovered the fossil." Maybe add a comma between "Salwey" and "who"?

Probably right, yeah. Done. Ichthyovenator (talk) 19:45, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• "geologist Ben Peach". the geologist Ben Peach.

Done. Ichthyovenator (talk) 19:45, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Define that Diplopoda represents a class.

Done. Ichthyovenator (talk) 19:45, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• "(a discrete plate formed by the fusion of the palpal coxae and the labrum)". See above.

Fixed the link here too. Ichthyovenator (talk) 19:45, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• "and attached palp". and its/an attached palp. I will continue soon.

Went with "its". Ichthyovenator (talk) 19:45, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• "of pterygotid Erettopterus bilobus." of the pterygotid Erettopterus bilobus.

Done. Ichthyovenator (talk) 19:45, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• "diagnosed based on features of the chelicerae (frontal appendages), coxae and the metastoma". I think you have to also mention the telson, which would easily solve the Necrogammarus problem.

True. Done. Ichthyovenator (talk) 19:45, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The rest looks good. These were my suggestions. FunkMonk, do you have something to add? Super Ψ Dro 15:05, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'll have a look when the above is dealt with. I wonder if the restorations can be moved to the right, it is generally preferred that the subject of an image faces the text, when possible. FunkMonk (talk) 15:36, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Moved the Erettopterus/Pterygotus images to the right. Ichthyovenator (talk) 19:45, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Do we know when the specimen was collected? FunkMonk (talk) 20:03, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we do other than at some point during the 1800s prior to 1859. I could expand a bit more on the person who discovered the fossil (Humphry Salwey) based on his obituary if that is relevant, but I am unable to find the year the fossil collected. Ichthyovenator (talk) 11:41, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Since it seems to have been described in very old sources, I assume there must be old public domain image sof it that could be used? The text mentions it was shown in an old plate. FunkMonk (talk) 20:03, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Will see what I can find. Ichthyovenator (talk) 11:41, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• There is some duplicate linking, perhaps try the script I mentioned in the last review. FunkMonk (talk) 12:45, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Ichthyovenator (talk) 11:41, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• "described under the new genus Necrogammarus" With the new genus name? FunkMonk (talk) 12:45, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Changed. Ichthyovenator (talk) 11:41, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• "exclusing" Excluding? FunkMonk (talk) 12:45, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, typo. Ichthyovenator (talk) 11:41, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Reading the article, it seems this genus is considered a nomen dubium, but the article doesn't state it. If the sources say so, it should be mentioned. Could then also be placed in category:Nomina dubia. FunkMonk (talk) 12:45, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it is considered a nomen dubium, haven't seen any of the sources state it and the list we have used for a lot of taxonomic information (link) lists it as valid (and lists nomina dubia separately). In my personal opinion it probably should be a nomen dubium but that's another discussion. Ichthyovenator (talk) 11:41, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• That's all I had to add after the original review, pretty much nitpicks, so good job, both! FunkMonk (talk) 12:45, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, I think this would be a pass from me, Super_Dromaeosaurus. Wasn't much to add after your review. FunkMonk (talk) 14:46, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Thanks for your help. Super Ψ Dro 16:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Everything looks good now. Excellent expansion, I did not think it would reach this point. Passing now. Good job! Super Ψ Dro 16:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Ichthyovenator (talk) 17:00, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
