Pronunciation
[edit]The book cited as evidence of the 'JY-gah-NOH-toh-SORE-us' pronunciation actually proposes the pronunciation 'GIG-'. Is this sufficient to edit the IPA pronunciation section to 'GIG-'? EtheyB (talk) 09:38, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
- Feel free to change it accordingly. FunkMonk (talk) 20:09, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
- Can someone correct the pronunciation for Giganotosaurus? I would do it but only people with Wikipedia accounts can edit this page. I will add that mispronouncing Giganotosaurus is quite widespread and it would be good if Wikipedia didn't encourage it. Everything Dinosaur actually made a video where they touched on the correct pronunciation of Giganotosaurus with input from the SVP, at 3:32 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gw79A7Fqr4 2A02:C7C:649E:3600:A8FC:2BE4:D0F9:C010 (talk) 15:14, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Asking again in case it was missed due to my correction yesterday. Can someone please correct the pronunciation of Giganotosaurus please? 2.223.234.63 (talk) 15:45, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- This has now been corrected as per my initial comment. EtheyB (talk) 14:17, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

tv series
[edit]suggested note at top alongside 'Not to be confused with Gigantosaurus.' 'For tv series, see Gigantosaurus_(TV_series)' 86.144.185.105 (talk) 15:28, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- Why? Everything named after a particular animal doesn't need to be listed under said animal's "not to be confused with". FunkMonk (talk) 16:31, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
proposition to change article name to "endless discussion about if this dinosaur is bigger than t. rex"
[edit]for the sake of accuracy 69.124.7.129 (talk) 05:35, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- There's a single section about that, which is already titled appropriately. The thing is, most papers about this taxon are just about that, its size. Very little has been published about its anatomy or behaviour, and articles can only reflect what has actually been published. FunkMonk (talk) 08:14, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
