List of Psittacosaurus species was one of the Natural sciences good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | |||||||||||||

I don't personally like the excessive use of bone descriptions, but I can't see how you'd do it otherwise.
Please add and wikilinke American vertebrate paleontologist to Henry Fairfield Osborn in 1923. Rename this paragraph type specimen, and, in general with scientific articles, the first time you mention the type specimen, particularly if it is a paragraph about it, and the lead paragraph of the section, spell out the genus in full.
"Skulls of P. mongoliensis are flat on top, especially over the back of the skull, with a triangular depression, or fossa, on the outside surface of the maxilla (an upper jaw bone)."
Does this fossa have a particular name, and can you link to that article?
Don't use "junior synonym" without first defining it, and try to avoid it thereafter, or at least make reference to it having been used before (like blah blah, this species is considered a junior synonym).
Correct these issues, then put a note on my talk page. The article meets GA criteria for what it is, a list of the species, and brief descriptions.

As an article on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force/Sweeps worklist list, I am reviewing it to see if the article maintains Good Article status. Looking at the article, it looks more like a list than an article. Because of this, I am removing the article's GA-status. GamerPro64 (talk) 22:14, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
Has it occurred to anyone that P. sibiricus looks so different from anything that is a Psittacosaurus and should be in its own genus. According to Thomas Holtz that's what it should be, also me, I know I'm a lumper but seriously I wont even go that low. I bet one day its going to get realized that it was completely different animal like how Dilophosaurus was once considered Megalosaurus. Just look to the right to see how different it is compared to other members of Psittacosaurus. DeinonychusDinosaur999 (talk) 18:46, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
