Hi, and thanks for your efforts. I am not sure, however, if your new category "Multispecific non-avian dinosaur genera" is ideal. Before making such changes that affect many articles, you should ask at the respective WikiProject (WP:WikiProject Dinosaurs, WP:WikiProject Paleontology, or WP:WikiProject Tree of Life), and only implement it if there is agreement. If we don't do that, the category system will turn into an inconsistent and unusable chaos over time. I hope you understand. Thanks.

I'll reach out to other participants in WP:PAL and WP:DINO to see if anyone has any objections or refinements. I sent an update to everyone in discord when I created it and nobody voiced any concerns, but is there a specific place on the wikiproject I should bring that up on wikipedia itself?--A Cynical Idealist (talk) 20:50, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20231215205000","author":"A Cynical Idealist","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-A_Cynical_Idealist-20231215205000-Jens_Lallensack-20231215102800","replies":["c-Jens_Lallensack-20231215211600-A_Cynical_Idealist-20231215205000"]}}-->

Thanks. Discord is not official and therefore not the place to establish a consensus. Just post on the talk page of the WikiProject Paleontology, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Palaeontology.

Cool thanks, I'll make sure to do so before making any such changes in the future. --A Cynical Idealist (talk) 21:42, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20231215214200","author":"A Cynical Idealist","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-A_Cynical_Idealist-20231215214200-Jens_Lallensack-20231215211600","replies":[]}}-->

Congratulations, A Cynical Idealist! The article you nominated, Atrociraptor, has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best articles on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.

This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured article. Keep up the great work!

Thank you today for the article, introduced as "the first FAC about a dromaeosaurid (or "raptor") dinosaur in more than a decade, and this particular genus has recently become (in)famous as antagonist in a recent Jurassic World movie. Because their portrayal in that film is atrociously inaccurate, improving this article will hopefully set the record straight."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:07, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241116160700","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20241116160700-TFA","replies":[]}}-->

I uploaded pics of a trip that was a 10-day celebration of a 16 November event, but the day was also when a dear friend died. We sang Hevenu shalom aleichem at his funeral yesterday, and it was good. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:42, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241130204200","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20241130204200-TFA","replies":[]}}-->
