Ironically, this long-necked genus has a short article. And no picture. Totnesmartin 20:22, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

There is a picture on the BBC link at the end of this article. Best wishes, Firsfron of Ronchester 20:41, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Took out the "Wikiproject: Dinosaurs" thing. Honestly, crocodiles are more closely related to dinosaurs than this thing is. 71.217.114.221 22:29, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Please don't. Despite current thinking, this genus was at one time thought to be a dinosaur, and appears on Wikipedia's List of dinosaurs. The article was created by, and is maintained and supported by WP:Dinosaurs. Best wishes, Firsfron of Ronchester 22:32, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Tanystropheus is not a dinosaur.T.Neo 12:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

But it was once thought to be one, in the past. So it falls within the project. Dinoguy2 14:20, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Unless someone creates WikiProject Prolacertiformes! Sheep81 23:51, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Or WikiProject Tanystrophidae! ;) Firsfron of Ronchester 00:43, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I do not think that being formerly recognised as dinosaur should be the only reason to be included in the Dinosaur wikiproject. My opinion is that being basal to a clade that evolved into dinosaurs all archosauromorpha that are now extinct (except for pterosauria that could as well have their own project, mainly to avoid the popular misconception that pterosaurs are dinosaurs) should be included in the project as related or as indicating to dinosaur evolution. You know better though.--Draco ignoramus sophomoricus (talk) 10:26, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
