The Dinosaur collaboration is a coordinated effort by WikiProject Dinosaurs to improve Wikipedia's dinosaur-related content. However, being a member of WikiProject Dinosaurs is not a prerequisite for participation in this collaboration. All Wikipedians, regardless of their level of expertise on the subject, are welcome to contribute.
Aside from the main benefit of creating better dinosaur articles on Wikipedia, it is hoped that the successful execution of this initiative will a) Attract new editors to work on the Project; b) Improve the writing skills of existing editors; and c) Demonstrate the value of collaboration on Wikipedia. The ultimate goal of the Dinosaur Collaboration is to get at least one dinosaur or dinosaur-related article featured every month.

- It's pretty well known by now, and it shows interest to a wide variety of the public. I've always thought of it as a larger version of a Baryonyx, with a few other distinct features. The article itself has a nice base, but it needs work in my opinion. 69.76.52.74 (talk) 17:40, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

This page isn't really used anymore, but just noticed how nice that article is, and that it could probably become either good or featured with a bit of work. Also, it's the first non-avian dinosaur with feathers and colour, so it's super important! It's also already longer than the Compsognathus article, which is featured. This would be the only featured article about a dinosaur with preserved feathers. FunkMonk (talk) 16:03, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
Agreed, would be nice to polish this one and submit it. Can we get an illustration of S. sp. trying to eat Zhangheotherium and getting envenomated in the face? ;) MMartyniuk (talk) 00:11, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
I would love to see this one officially recognized. It already looks quite good, with 17 inline citations. Firsfron of Ronchester 00:21, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
[edit] For more complete articles
If you think an article is good enough to be a Featured Article Candidate, feel free to nominate it. However, it is recommended that you have the article peer reviewed first. Peer reviewed articles are generally more polished and are often more likely to receive votes of support on the FAC page. If you would like to discuss a particular article before sending it to be reviewed, bring it up on the talk page of the article in question, of this page, or the WikiProject Dinosaurs talk page. If you do send an article for peer review or to the FAC page, please let us know by adding it to the appropriate list below so that we can support it!
In terms of criteria consider proximity to FAC candicacy in terms of work required + personal preference + global importance WRT other dinos or FA list and wikipedia in general, in whatever ratios you wish...
