Reads acwardly and is shallow
Prose needs to be cleaned up, and it needs more depth.

Humility
Agreed. By Pampaeditor Jan 7.

When to abbreviate?
We really need to decide when to say the cute name and when to use the full one. Do we introduce the short one and say "let's just call him T-Rex" and use it afterwards, or should the full name lead each section before reverting the the short name once more? GarrettTalk 01:09, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Factoids
Would it be possible to create a list of interesting facts (on this page, perhaps) that should probably be worked into the text? For instance, I remember being fairly impressed as a kid that T Rex's estimated running speed was 35 miles per hour. I remember there being numerous other things like this that can give a 'wow' factor or help put size and power in modern context. N Vale 19:47, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

T, Rex
Rather than a hypen we should use a Period. Cause T stands for something. N1person 18:12, 28 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Hm, well, I disagree. The hypen has been used so long and so widely, if we did otherwise we'd merely end up explaining why we'd changed it in the first place. GarrettTalk 07:05, 29 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I see no problem with having breif grammer lesson in the book. :) N1person 03:52, 5 February 2006 (UTC)


 * I think Garrett is right its really more understandable for young kids just to use the hyphen especially because Tyranasaurus is not really in their vocab. Basejumper123 22:47 6 February, 2006

"T. rex" is correct, though. Giving incorrect imformation is a type of vandalising. Dora Nichov 12:24, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

T-Rex
The T-Rex page now appears unreadable in my opinion. It looks like the sentences are ending all over the place. Young Kids will take one look at this and see A LOT of T.'s whoever put that in please change it —Basejumper123

Ive done my edit on whats already been written! --Basejumper123 23:18, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Great project! Made some corrections
I just recently found this project. I am thrilled that a project aimed at children is underway. As a homeschool mom with 9 and 4yo boys, I see a lot of potential here. I do not see that potential being fully realized, but I am sure it will eventually mature. I am hoping to jump in and become an active participant.

As for this page, I went and corrected some spelling errors. There is also the inconsistency with the two different abbreviation conventions (T-rex and T.rex). I can see the discussion already going on about it. T-rex is what children will recognize. I did not want to change the T.s if there is still a question, but if nobody objects I will be happy to make it consistently T-rex.

My 9yo has volunteered to be a test reader. He is a gifted kid with very high reading ability, but he is good at identifying what will be appropriate for "normal" 9yo's. I will pass along his comments.

About the size of the eyes
The article says that "Their bodies could easily be spotted by their forward lean, their short but deep jaws, their huge teeth, large eyes, long tail, and tiny arms" but also that "Due to their small eyes--". So does the T-rex have small or large eyes? -80.220.34.82 13:53, 27 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for pointing out, and sorry for the slow response (Wikijunior Dinosaurs are rather inactive now). I am not certain what the original authors meant, but I have rephrased these parts - should be clearer now.--Konstable 08:32, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
