Add to plesiosaur article?[edit]

Any reason why this isn't just part of the plesiosaur article, like other similar tables? FunkMonk (talk) 15:29, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@FunkMonk: Size. Pterosaurs have a separate one, too. Abyssal (talk) 15:32, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, to me, both seem like they would be more helpful in their respective articles (like in for example Pachycephalosaur), though I can see their size may may make them a bit unwieldy. FunkMonk (talk) 15:47, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We could do a miniature version with the most notable species and then link the main one. Abyssal (talk) 16:46, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
