Only one source is used. I am uncertain of whether this is acceptable or not. There must be other sources out there covering this. --George Ho (talk) 03:50, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
- Actually no George Ho. The organism was described in October 2014 and it takes a long time for any new papers to come out. All other references at this time would be news reports and pop culture info. see this Google Scholar search for "Carnufex" [1], no results on the first page relate to the crocodylomorph. And also searching "Carnufex" in google only comes up with the original publication and news reports. IJReid discuss 15:00, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
Article long enough and new enough. Well referenced to the type description (I think the new articles are superfluous to be honest). No duplication or copyviolation issues identified. Image is appropriately licensed. I prefer hook alt1. As a general note, i like to avoid the wording Carnufex carolinensis, meaning "Carolina butcher", as it gives undo weight to an usupported name (Carolina butcher), but would suggest transitioning the sentence into a break down of the etymology such as seen at Diploporus. @George Ho:, single references have always been considered acceptable for articles on biology taxons, as often the type description is the only source for its description.--Kevmin § 01:47, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
