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.

I'll be looking over your shoulder!

Thanks for waiting. Let's start.

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.

Thanks for notifying. Have a nice holiday!

"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.

Okay, if it is correct, it does not need to be changed.

"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.
The rest looks good. These were my suggestions.
FunkMonk, do you have something to add?
SuperΨDro 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.

Moved the Erettopterus/Pterygotus images to the right.

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.

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.

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 (

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.

That's all I had to add after the original review, pretty much nitpicks, so good job, both!
FunkMonk (

In that case, I think this would be a pass from me,
Super_Dromaeosaurus. Wasn't much to add after your review.
FunkMonk (

I agree. Thanks for your help.

Everything looks good now. Excellent expansion, I did not think it would reach this point. Passing now. Good job!
