I already had to make this edit twice so I\\\'d like to bring something to the attention of whoever keeps changing it back: \\\"Pterosaur\\\" is \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' a genus and thus doesn\\\'t need to be italicized or capitalized. The italics are for binomial classification only and capitalization is only for the genus name. Example: \\\'\\\'Tyrannosaurus rex\\\'\\\', \\\'\\\'Archaeopteryx lithographica\\\'\\\', etc.. Using italics and capitalization for pterosaur is like using it for dog--imagine typing \\\"Growlithe is based on a \\\'\\\'Dog\\\'\\\', and so has features of a \\\'\\\'Dog\\\'\\\'\\\" for example.
If Aerodactyl was explicitly stated to be based on \\\'\\\'Pteranodon\\\'\\\' or \\\'\\\'Rhamphorhynchus\\\'\\\', then italics and capital first letters would be necessary, but as just a generic pterosaur, it doesn\\\'t need either when its real life basis is mentioned.
