Tachiraptor

Created by MWAK (talk), G S Palmer (talk), FunkMonk (talk), and Jeda045 (talk). Nominated by Raptormimus456 (talk) at 13:19, 17 October 2014 (UTC).

  • I agree that the discovery is important, but I must point out that Tachiraptor is not a basal averostran for the simple reason that it is not an averostran. It is part of the branch leading to the Averostra.--MWAK (talk) 16:32, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
So you're saying the hook is wrong? I'm confused by all this terminology. EEng (talk) 18:35, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
ALT1 just sounds like it should be in a textbook I'm too uneducated to understand. If it's correct ALT0 looks fine, but I'm going to ping: Template:Ping. They'll know! PanydThe muffin is not subtle 14:21, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
It's a stem-averostran. But if you want a (or to) hook, you could say: ... that the newly discovered dinosaur Tachiraptor is by 25 million years the oldest known species of a branch leading to the birds? Not that Averostra itself is that branch, mind you. Birds always pique the interest of the reader.--MWAK (talk) 07:28, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
  • If it isn't an averostran, then neither hook is accurate, but the original one would be if the final averostran clause was lopped off. Striking the original hook and ALT1, and proposing a version of the original hook as follows:
  • ALT2: ... that the 200-million-year-old Tachiraptor is the second dinosaur discovered from Venezuala?
