Talk:Microraptoria

Avoid Weasel Words

Many researchers feel these taxa actually represent a paraphyletic series of basal members of Deinonychosauria (and or Avialae). "Many researches" is weasley. Please be specific (who feels this way, exactly) and provide a cite, or don't include it.Dinoguy2 14:01, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Microraptoria or Microraptorinae

On Wikipedia, Microraptoria is generally being used instead of Microraptorinae, and this page says, "Sereno offered a revised definition of the sub-group containing Microraptor to ensure that it would fall within Dromaeosauridae, and erected the subfamily Microraptorinae, attributing it to Senter et al., though this usage has only appeared on his online TaxonSearch database and has not been formally published." As far as I've seen, this is very outdated, and Microraptorinae is the name for this group that's normally used in papers for quite some time now. I can't remember the last time I saw Microraptoria used. As one example, on the Changyuraptor Wikipedia page it says, "C. yangi belongs to the group of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaurs called the Microraptoria.", with the reference that follows being the paper that names Changyuraptor. But in this paper, "Microraptoria" doesn't appear even once. Instead, Microraptorinae is the name that's used. It's counterproductive if these animals are being referred to by one name on Wikipedia, but by another name in papers published for some years now. 94.14.155.21 (talk) 14:05, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
