Welcome aboard

... and thanks for all your recent work on the Giant Cheetah article. I spend about half my time here updating/policing articles on the family Felidae, so I noticed your contributions straight off. We especially appreciate editors who are knowledgeable on less-traveled subjects.

Anything we can do to make your stay more comfortable, drop us a line. Cheers! --Seduisant (talk) 00:19, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Miomachairodus

Great job editing Miomachairodus! You may, however, want to move the section on the Bahe Formation and the other formations in the ecology section to their own new pages.

Proposed deletion of Reeve's bonebed

The article Reeve's bonebed has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not meet notability criteria

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Regarding Miomachairodus

Hello, I'm alerting you to the tags I've placed on Miomachairodus, of which you are a primary contributor. Large portions of the article currently appear as off-topic, speculative, and/or original research or synthesis, i.e. ideas not attributable to published sources. Some sections might be better placed in their respective articles, and others should be considerably reduced or eliminated entirely. If you haven't already, please read Wikipedia:No original research to help guide future additions and article development. If you have sources that substantiate the claims, by all means please cite them, and/or rewrite sections to make it clear whose (published) ideas are being presented. If you have other questions, or would like to discuss ways to improve the article on the talk page, please don't hesitate to ask.--Animalparty-- (talk) 00:23, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
