Nuthetes is an enigmatic possible dromaeosaur from the early Cretaceous UK. For long it was classified as a nomen dubium but was recently declared as valid.

When I talk to Funkmonk about the status he said it was problematic. Milner (2002) classifies it as a dromaeosaur and found the diagnosis. Funkmonk says that a 2010 paper co-authored by Milner says this:

flattened and recurved teeth of Proceratosaurus are very similar to the teeth of some dromaeosaurids, such as Velociraptor, and thus caution is needed when referring isolated teeth from the Late Jurassic/Early Cretaceous to the Dromaeosauridae on the basis of general shape and denticle size difference, as has been done previously (e.g. Ruiz-Omeñaca, Canudo & Cuenca-Bescós, 1996; Zinke, 1998; Milner, 2002; Rauhut, 2002; Sweetman, 2004). Likewise, isolated theropod teeth from the Late Bathonian Forest Marble, described as ‘dromaeosaurid-like’ by Evans & Milner (1994: 316 and fig. 18.7), might represent this or a closely related taxon."

Funkmonk also says:

"We don't even know what family it belongs to or how it would be distinct. Part of Milner's 2002 diagnosis is that it's a dromaeosaur of that time, and even that is uncertain, as Milner conceded in the 2010 paper."

Also about the synonymy of Latenivenatrix, he suggested to merge the page with Stenonychosaurus because the paper suggesting the synonymy has one of the ones who named the genus. As the paper strongly supports, so I would approve it.Huinculsaurus (talk) 15:08, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Who suggested to merge the page? FunkMonk? Magnatyrannus (talk | contribs) 21:04, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

For Latenivenatrix, yes. But before I asked another user he said that American troodontid taxonomy is always in a flux, so it is more likely an opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huinculsaurus (talk • contribs) 01:57, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

For Nuthetes, even though Funkmonk insists it to be problematic, but we can follow Milner (2002) treating it to be a putative valid dromaeosaur, even the 2010 study of Proceratosaurus co-authored by Milner.

(edit conflict) Huinculsaurus What would you think about the Nomingia --> Elmisaurus merge proposal? In fact, it's been accepted in very few papers, and not just that last year paper, but some of this year's papers such as this one and this one comes to the same conclusion that Nomingia is a synonym of Elmisaurus.

You were only shortly unblocked after Cullen328 had blocked you indefinitely for disruptive editing – among other things for failing to communicate with, and being uncivil towards, fellow editors. Edits like these [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] are a direct continuation of that problematic pattern. You are not allowed to remove other people's posts without a very good reason, and you are also not allowed to tell people to "fuck off" any chance you get. I would be less blunt if this was a first offence, but since it isn't, I feel the need to be as clear as I can be: If you continue to disruptively revert other people's talk page posts, fail to respond to legitimate queries about edits of yours, or behave uncivilly towards your fellow editors, you will be blocked again. --Blablubbs (talk) 19:36, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Oh sorry, I promise not to do it ever again. And this time I mean it. Magnatyrannus (talk | contribs) 19:38, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

The reason why I am sometimes unable to respond to queries about my edits is because I don't know what to say, so I just remove them. Magnatyrannus (talk | contribs) 19:55, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Why are you vandalising random pages? FunkMonk (talk) 06:04, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I do NOT vandalize any pages for any matter. If you think I made a mistake then why not show me a diff of "those random pages"? Magnatyrannus (talk | contribs) 03:07, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

@Tamzin What did you mean by the unproductive comments at WP:ANI? Magnatyrannus (talk | contribs) 01:32, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi, Magna. I'm mostly unavailable right now due to a medical emergency, but will respond when I can. Thanks for your patience. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 04:03, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Oh, sorry, I didn't know. Magnatyrannus (talk | contribs) 04:10, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Have to talk otherwise it will archive... Magnatyrannus (talk | contribs) 20:49, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Also, what is Potentially Constructive Contributors Who Got Banned Because They Kept Making Sock Accounts Rather than Just Appeal Their Original Block? You said that on my sock's talk page, but I just don't know what it is. Magnatyrannus (talk | contribs) 03:08, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
