New Buriolestes paper[edit]

A new paper about Buriolestes, showing an excellent new skeletom, has been released. The same paper also shows that silesaurids are ornithischians, rendering "Dracohors" as a synonym of Dinosauria. What does this mean for the Dinosaur Wikipedia? Here's the paper: https://academic.oup.com/zoolinnean/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/zoolinnean/zly009/4996397?redirectedFrom=fulltext# Atlantis536 (talk) 02:13, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In other words, does this mean we have to edit a lot of dinosaur-related articles, Buriolestes included, to match the new paper's findings? Atlantis536 (talk) 03:21, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is best to wait for some kind of scientific consensus, see also here:[1] FunkMonk (talk) 03:34, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The 2018 paper's osteology is wonderfully comprehensive, and the idea about silesaurids being within Ornithischia was actually from the phylogenetic analysis in the original Buriolestes description, Cabreira et al. (2016). Honestly the issue is not directly relevant to Buriolestes itself, and the rest of the paper is very useful for the article. Fanboyphilosopher (talk) 02:44, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
