It's not bad, but it also ties into the fossil record, which you haven't covered yet. You can find temporal boundaries where the fossils go from oceanic, to terrestrial and sometimes back, and this is used by geologists(in conjunction with soil and rock character) to estimate where oceans were in different prehistoric eras. ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 20:06, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Not to overload anybody's to-dos, but this seems like a good place to mention Ring Species as well. This is a very healthy start for a page, I really enjoy all the different models of the lines under the "additional terminology" header. As for Ring Species, there could be more than one species cited, Ring Species like the Ensatina salamander seem to exhibit a short-range and relatively fast look at biogeography. I think this could be useful. The RW main article on Ring Species isn't exceptional (no offense to the creator), I think this is off to a better start. A topic on ring species might beef up the page in a very relevant way. I'll attempt it if I'm promised no deadline and no-holds-barred editing from you guys. I could also leave this page alone and just add to the Ring Species page.Gol Sarnitt (talk) 20:50, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
Could you please just add to the Ring species page? It's already in mainspace, and really needs help.Summa Atheologica (talk) 17:38, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Got enough pictures?[edit]

Maybe if you added a center column, there wouldn't be room for any words at all. ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 20:33, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

Valid point. In fact, Bongolian already brought it up. However, I think they look good, so I'm keeping them.Summa Atheologica (talk) 20:40, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
I think this is an example of when there are too many pictures. — Dysk (contribs) 20:58, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

Marsupials[edit]

My blog is named for one those ancient Laurasian marsupials. Oxyaena Harass 21:30, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

Could you find a way to integrate Pederpes into the marsupial section? I was not able to find many sources on it.Summa Atheologica (talk) 13:10, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

Links[edit]

Are you gonna reformat those references to make them look professional? Pizza SLICE.gifDuceMoosoliniYour friendly RW dictator moderator 20:47, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

Probably not. I have no idea how that would work.Summa Atheologica (talk) 20:57, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
Help:References should have all of the information you need. Bare URLs are ugly and negatively affect the readability of a page. Pizza SLICE.gifDuceMoosoliniYour friendly RW dictator moderator 21:13, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

Images too big[edit]

@Summa Atheologica, @Bongolian: My reversion was reverted by Summa Atheologica because "That was my draft and I resent this interference". This isn't your page, it's a wiki. If you don't want your edits to be reverted or challenged, put this on your userpage. Additionally, the images are way too big. As Bongolian said, if people want to see the images in full they just have to click them. There's also too many picture. Perhaps use the gallery tag.—Hamburguesa con queso con un cara Spinning-Burger.gif (talkstalk) 20:47, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

I stated that text will be added to mitigate the effects of the images. Text WILL be added.Summa Atheologica (talk) 20:49, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
