Untitled[edit]

Just in case anyone is concerned, I checked, and this article is not due to a mispelling of "Raptor". Apparently the name is based on the same Latin root, though. Mango juice^talk 03:49, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Of course it's not a mispelling. I prodded all of the misspelled articles, and you deprodded all three.--Firsfron of Ronchester 09:25, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why Rapator? Out of interest, does anyone know the history of the name? Why does Rapator replace Walgettosuchus, or are the two perfectly synonymous due to some quirk of nomenclature?--Gazzster 03:14, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image[edit]

This genus is apparently based on a single bone. I'm not sure it's a good idea for WP to depict an entire animal based on a single fossil bone. Firsfron of Ronchester 05:44, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removed it. It's also a copyvio and marked for deletion, and there is no kind of consensus regarding what kind of theropod this is anyway, so any image is likely to be wrong. Dinoguy2 (talk) 16:01, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a picture of the bone that was found? Spinodontosaurus (talk) 12:10, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Probably in the original paper, but not one we can use. Dinoguy2 (talk) 15:05, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
