For the record, you should be reporting this in Ask The Tropers.
Also, removing them and bringing 'em to the Discussion in order to properly discuss what to do with examples like that is the proper move. You and others should talk it out there.
...It's weird having so many websites and no way to properly display now, lol.

Thanks for telling me that. I think I'll move it there.
Total posts: 3
I have no idea which category this belongs in, so please move it if it's the wrong one.
Anyways, there's a user named Magnus Force who goes around on paleontology-related tropes like Artistic License – Paleontology and Ptero Soarer and complains in the discussion page about the examples being complainy, and he removed the pterosaur example from Informed Species (which I re-added) for the same reason.
Thing is, these examples don't come across as complainy, at least not to me, any more than the other tropes pointing out biological inaccuracies. (Like Artistic License – Ornithology and Somewhere, a Herpetologist Is Crying.) Then again, I'm a paleo fan myself, so I'm not sure if I count.
So, what do you think? Does Magnus Force actually have a point, or is he just being nitpicky?
