[edit] Polacanthus' head

"Early depictions often gave it a very vague head as it was only known from the rear half of the creature."

Is this to say that we've found its head since then? Or just that we now know what its front end would probably look like, based on similar animals? 71.217.98.158 03:42, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, we don't have the head of Polacanthus yet, although there's a braincase that might go to it, and at least part of the skull is known for several ankylosaurians, including the probably related Gargoyleosaurus, Gastonia, and Hylaeosaurus, so we can make a much better educated guess than could be done several decades ago.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Polacanthus.JPG

Image:Polacanthus.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.
