So I saw your request for an Acamptonectes size comp after it was brought to FA status, what are the other paleo FAs without size comps? ~2025-31600-97 (talk) 21:11, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Catopsbaatar, but I don’t think there are any published full body size estimates. FunkMonk (talk) 21:51, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is that all? ~2025-31600-97 (talk) 12:19, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Of the ones I wrote, yeah. Could be others I didn’t write. FunkMonk (talk) 23:15, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Bab al-Tabbaneh requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, as it exhibits signs of having been generated by an AI model with no clear human review. Text produced by these applications can be unsuitable for an encyclopedia and output must be carefully checked.
For further information, see the section G15 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think these signs were incorrectly identified and you assert that you did carefully check the content, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled “Contest this speedy deletion”. This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia’s policies and guidelines. Additionally – if you would like to create an article but find it difficult, please ask for help at the Teahouse. tony 02:51, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the template, @FunkMonk — this was a CSD added to a redirect that another user has converted into an article generated by apparent unreviewed LLM output. tony 02:52, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, ok. But yeah, I think it deserves a redirect in any case. FunkMonk (talk) 02:58, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In retrospect, I agree. I’m not sure how to handle the page as it exists now, though. Do you have any suggestions? I’m not going to be reverting it to a redirect again as I’m at my third revert and I don’t want to be edit warring. tony 02:59, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I deep reverted and wrote an edit summary about writing a proper article which will probably be ignored. FunkMonk (talk) 03:01, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I’ll leave a note on their talk page about drafting an article. tony 03:02, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Have you heard of this animal? It’s a giant brachyopoid temnospondyl from the Late Triassic of Lesotho. Estimates place it at 7 meters (23 feet).

I’m here to request its page be created. ~2025-31600-97 (talk) 13:45, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like it isn’t formally named yet? In that case, we’ll have to wait. FunkMonk (talk) 13:56, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I know, but still, it’s one of the largest temnospondyls of all time. ~2025-31600-97 (talk) 15:55, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a source . ~2025-31600-97 (talk) 18:01, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It should definitely be mentioned in the relevant clade articles. Maybe it already is? FunkMonk (talk) 22:11, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it’s been mentioned on the Brachyopoidea page. Still, my point stands. ~2025-31600-97 (talk) 00:56, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I’m asking is because I put a ton of requests here. The Beast of Lesotho is one. ~2025-31600-97 (talk) 01:02, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is a recon, but it’s based off an already inaccurate Metoposaurus model. ~2025-31600-97 (talk) 01:05, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Huh, I wonder where the skull piece photo is from, seems unfree… FunkMonk (talk) 03:17, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think there’s no point in the creation of a BoL article? I mean, there’s a possibility that even if it is created, it will likely be merged with the Brachyopidae page. ~2025-31600-97 (talk) 00:35, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think there could be made a list like list of informally named Mesozoic reptiles for that kind if thing. FunkMonk (talk) 08:39, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but some informally named extinct animals have their own articles, if I recall? ~2025-31600-97 (talk) 00:41, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Very few, when they’re too long to just merge. FunkMonk (talk) 09:12, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Should I go and replace my request? ~2025-31600-97 (talk) 17:01, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Where is it? FunkMonk (talk) 13:34, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Here. ~2025-31600-97 (talk) 12:05, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it’s still an animal that existed, so could be used in other related articles. At least a better size comparison could be needed. FunkMonk (talk) 12:43, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey buddy, I submitted the article for FAC, thanks for the review and usual support. el.ziade (talkallam) 14:15, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nice, I’ll have a look! FunkMonk (talk) 14:18, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I recently responded to your message at WP:PALEOART‘s Discord server, but after I did, logged out and tried to sign in to my non-mobile account, but to no avail. Since I am now locked out of Discord and that server, I am pinging you here because I am anxious you have already replied to what I wrote. However, my response was basically a reiteration of what I said at the TeaHouse: | (1) –BlueEleephant (talk) 05:02, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
