Size?
editHow big was it? Or do we not know very accurately due to the only fossils being "two lower jaw fragments". If that's the case can it be stated in the article? -Drdisque (talk) 16:49, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
- It's already stated at the end of the 1st paragraph: "probably a foot long". Prioryman (talk) 23:16, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
- Yep, I found it and added it -Drdisque (talk) 00:41, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
good oral hygiene?? he's a (chain) smoker
editOh, well. I've found lots of discussion on this point in various dino-forums (where paleontologists post, not the amateurs like meself) but that's not considered a Reliable Source. If anyone can find a science article that mentions this point, it would be good to cite. I know the president was trying to cut down but it seems from anonymous sources in news articles that he hasn't succeeded that much. Tobacco smoke stains/yellows teeth and is not conducive to that "first morning kiss." This extinct reptile probably had bug-breath. :-) HammerFilmFan (talk) 05:42, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
Um...yeah, I can tell you're an amateur. This lizard is just named after Obama, I suppose you also think it was the first lizard president of the Cretaceous United States. Other than the name, this reptile has absolutely nothing to do whatsoever with Barack Obama. Oral hygiene is a strictly human concept by the way, and Cretaceous lizards did not waste time brushing their teeth, when they could use that time to do more important things like hunt, mate, and fight. Sorry if this comment was a bit rude, but you truly did waste several minutes of your life writing that bad hygiene joke. --24.36.130.109 (talk) 02:29, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
Semi-lock this article?
editThis article might need the protection of being editable only by regular users, as drive-by vandals have inserted several attacks against U.S. President Obama, who is NOT the subject of the article. --Monado (talk) 02:36, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
