  • ... that the dinosaur Nankangia (pictured) might have been carnivorous or herbivorous?

  • Well, I'm not reviewing it (as it's probably not appropriate), but I don't like the hook... I mean, most animals are carnivorous and herbivorous to some degree, and we don't really know what most extinct ones preferred to eat (if we don't have their jaws)... An alternative hook: that the dinosaur Nankangia (pictured) coexisted with at least four members of its family, some of which may have been more herbivorous than carnivorous? I should note that, as Lü et al. (2013) didn't redefine Oviraptoridae, Nankangia should be considered an oviraptorid as well... Rnnsh (talk) 16:48, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
  • Ok - any better ideas? I thought it was interesting as carnivorous/herbivorous dinos are always well-demarcated...Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:41, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
  • I'm suggesting ALT1 ... that it is unknown whether the dinosaur Nankangia (pictured) was carnivorous or herbivorous? Also, I think the image has been linked wrongly, or deleted. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 13:46, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
  • The image filename was incompletely specified. I've fixed it. MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 19:56, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Symbol voting keep.svg Article newness and length are both good. Alt 1 Hook fact and reference are good. Pay-wall reference taken agf and image status is good. No policy issues identified. Good to go.--Kevmin § 06:51, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
