[edit] Ehm...
Why does this page exist? Mosasaurus should redirect to this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosasaur
Either that, or "mosasaur" should be changed to the cprrect "mosasaurus".

- That's because Mosasaurus was the first genus of mosasaur discovered, much like the way all scarab beetles are named after Scarabeus beetles.
-
- Mosasaurus has its own page for the same reason that each genus of mosasaur will eventually have their own pages, same as each genus of dinosaur. Mosasaurus is a distinct type of mosasaur, not a synonym for "mosasaur."--Nar'eth 02:09, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

- I think the merger tag can be removed now; Nar'eth is right. Jerkov 18:50, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Prim mosasaur.jpg
Image:Prim mosasaur.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
