According to the article about the tyrannosaur Dilong, it measures 1,6 m and the newly discovered Guanlong is 3 m long. But this article states that tyrannosaurids are between 8 and 14 m long. Likewise both these dinosaurs are found in China which isn't named under location. Isfisk 08:12, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
- There is no contradiction as Dilong and Gualong are tyrannosauroids, not tyrannosaurids.--MWAK 14:49, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
Obviously this page is being used to discuss tyrannosaurs in general, not just Family Tyrannosauridae. Maybe it should be moved to "Tyrannosaur" or "Tyrannosauroidea"? (the former would be preferable since it's the common name for tyrannosauroid)Dinoguy2 17:53, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- But then we replace an exact defined scientific concept by a very vague one. Do Dilong and Guanlong conform to the public perception of a tyrannosaur? Probably not. Do the experts consistently refer to all tyrannosauroids as "tyrannosaurs"? Not really. The obvious solution seems to be to have simply two articles, one for Tyrannosauridae and one for Tyrannosauroidea, as these are two distinct concepts. And the very fact that these concepts are often confused is proof of this :o).--MWAK 09:44, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
- Good point. I'll see what I can whip up for Tyrannosauroidea, feel free to pitch in everyone.Dinoguy2 18:29, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Not birds[edit]
Birds have hollow bones, special breathing sacs, feathers, and relatively large, strong forelimbs. Tyrannosaurs have marrow-filled bones, no signs of feathers or avian lungs, and forelimbs so tiny they are laughable. Those forelimbs are so small that they MUST have moved slowly, b/c there's no chance they could catch themselves if they tripped while running!! And with skulls that huge, hitting their chins on the ground is not inconvenient, it's fatal! Mdotley 13:34, 12 September 2006 (UTC) http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg14819982.600-the-bigger-they-come-the-harder-they-fall.html
- What is your point? SpectrumDT 20:47, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- Kiwi have tiny nubbins where the forelimbs used to be, just FYI.Dinoguy2 01:45, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Tyrannosaurs, and indeed all theropods, were extremely likely to have had air sacs (http://oak.cats.ohiou.edu/~ridgely/OconnorClaessensairsacs.pdf), and given their relatively crown-ward taxanomic position those air sacs were probably fairly advanced. Also, basal tyrannosauroids (Dilong paradoxus) have been found with 'protofeathers' (fluff), and so it's fairly likely that all tyrannosaurs had some kind of feathers, maybe not the larger ones at adult size because of overheating problems. The running thing, small arms has nothing to do with it really (ostriches do just fine), but with the bigger ones just being huge would have caused them severe problems with running fast (see http://www.rvc.ac.uk/AboutUs/Staff/jhutchinson/documents/JRH17.pdf) - unsuprisingly, a ~6 tonne biped has support issues.
Maximum size[edit]
The various articles on Tyrannosaurs are ambiguous about the maximum size. The Tyrannosaurus rex article sets maximum length of a T. rex to 13 metres. But this article says 14 metres. Unless there are Tyrannosaurids larger than Mr. Rex (which I don't think there are), this is a discrepancy.
Also, I would like some more comments on these numbers. Are they measured from complete (or nearly complete) specimens, or are they reconstructed guesses? SpectrumDT 20:43, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
The largest Tyrannosaurus skull measuring over 1.5 meters (5 ft) long.where largest spinosaurus skull is 1.7 meters (5.749 ft) long and they estimate its length approximately 18 meters scientifically whose skeleton of body frame is not present. similarly The largest Tyrannosaurus skull measuring over 1.5 meters (5 ft) long whose body frame is not present and its skull is greater than Sue so its length will be more than 14 meters (47 ft). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 12:20, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
The "tyrannosaurid body length diagram" is absolutely worthless. It only contains a single point on a graph. I recommend deletion since it is of so little scientific value. --18.104.22.168 (talk) 02:13, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
Aublysodontidae & Shanshanosauridae[edit]
Are these families really synonyms of Tyrannosauridae? Seems like they would actually be synonyms of Aublysodon (therefore Tyrannosaurus) and Shanshanosaurus (therefore Tarbosaurus?), unless someone actually tried to include all of the known tyrannosaurids in those families. Then again, maybe someone did. Sheep81 (talk) 23:24, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- The way the ICZN works, I don't think a family can be synonymous with a genus. Since there's no problem with monotypic families under ICZN, if the type of a family is referred to a different family with seniority, the families become synonyms the same way a type species, referred to a new genus, sinks the old genus into the new. E.g., Brontosaurus is a synonym of the genus Apatosaurus, not the species A. excelsus, even though nobody ever tried to incorporate all Apatosaurus species into Brontosaurus. Dinoguy2 (talk) 20:37, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
GA Review[edit]
- This review is transcluded from Talk:Tyrannosauridae/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
Nice article, although I think it needs a bit of work. BTW re the "sizes" image(s) I've contacted someone about supplying images that are suitable for use with Template:Annotated image. If he supplies images, I'll do the annotations as I use that template a lot.
Things that should be covered[edit]
Compare with Tyrannosaurus. I think these should be incorporated with first, in case they have knock-on effects.
To avoid massive duplication, be brief and use {{see}} to refer readers to more detailed discussions where appropriate On second thoughts, Tyrannosauridae should be the "main" article for topics that apply to the whole family. So the detailed discussion should go here and then we can slim down the genus-level articles:
- Not doneLocomotion
- Nice job. The only reason I've removed the "done" flag is that I think I have a couple of things to do.
- Minor copyedit needed, which I will do.
- Why did you not like the fuller summary of Holtz' reasoning? "longer distal hindlimb components (shin plus foot plus toes) relative to the femur length" is the reason for including the leg & foot anatomy pic. -- Philcha (talk)
- However, Holtz (1998) noted that tyrannosaurids and some closely related groups had significantly longer distal hindlimb components (shin plus foot plus toes) relative to the femur length than most other theropods), and that tyrannosaurids and their close relatives had a tightly interlocked metatarsus that more effectively transmitted locomotory forces from the foot to the lower leg than in earlier theropods ("metatarsus" means the foot bones, which function as part of the leg in digitigrade animals). He therefore concluded that tyrannosaurids and their close relatives were the fastest large theropods.
- ha? Nergaal (talk) 03:23, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
- If you like the annotated image approach, I'll produce one for the leg bones using one of the pics FunkMonk suggested. -- Philcha (talk) 11:10, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
- Not doneFeeding strategy
- Needs to deal with whether it's possible for a huge non-flying animal to be a pure scavenger.
- is this really relevant to the entire family? the information is already in the t-rex page, but this page should focus on the family Nergaal (talk) 03:23, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
- I can think of a 1-sentence summary. -- Philcha (talk) 11:21, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Horner has been finding plenty of daspletosaurs at Hell Creek. I suggest you Google for "Horner Hell Creek". If he says Daspletosaurus or any of the albertosaurines were scavengers, then I think Tyrannosaurid shoudl become the main artcile for this issue. If not, then Tyrannosaurus remains the main article and this one just summarises.-- Philcha ([[User

- The point about the presumed T rex bite marks on the hadrosaurs and ceratopsioan is that they healed, i.e. the victims susrvived attacks by T rex on living prey. -- Philcha (talk) 11:29, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
- Not doneVision - T rex apparently had excellent binocular vision, Daspletosaurus not quite so good, most theropods had eyes on sides. Relevant to feeding strategy.
- Basics in place, but a few more points needed - all sourced from Stevens (2006)
- The broad temporal region and narrow snout are most marked in Tyrannosaurus, then in Daspletosaurus, then in Tarbosaurus, with albertosaurines coming last.
- The height of Daspletosaurus′ snout slightly restricted its binocular vision.
- The large eyeballs of most tyrannosaurids would have given them some combination of high visual acuity and high sensitivity in low light conditions. -- Philcha (talk) 11:29, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
- Thermoregulation
- Air sacs - all over the saurischia, especially coelurosaurs; see Physiology of dinosaurs. -- Philcha (talk) 11:29, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
- If adult tyrannosaurids were homoetherms, what about juveniles? -- Philcha (talk) 11:21, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Not done Needs a new early section to distinguish between tyrannosaurus, tyrannosaurids and tyrannosauroids. E.g. early tyrannosauroids such as Dilong (dinosaur) and Guanlong were smaller and did not have the full package of tyrannosaurid features. Most readers won't understand taxonomic suffixes. I notice the "Description" section of the article mentions tyrannosauroids & Dilong. I see that section "Taxonomy and systematics" partly explains suffixes, but it needs to be up-front and explicit. Since that would cause duplication of content, I considered suggesting that "Taxonomy and systematics" should appear before "Description" - I wouldn't suggest this for a genus, as I'm an empiricist at heart, but Tyrannosauridae is a taxonomic construct, and such a move might work well at this level. However that would swamp readers with names that mean little until they're described. So I think a separate "Definition" section is best. BTW Image:Biological classification L Pengo.svg is a nice image of the Linnean rank structure, works OK at width 100px, see Paleontology#Classifying_ancient_organisms. -- Philcha (talk) 08:58, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
A tip: make a sandbox version of the article or sections of it under your user page for such try-outs and then link to it in the review discussion - the GA reviewer for Small shelly fauna said she hadn't realised how much easier it was to try things out in a sandbox page.
- BTW High-precision 40Ar/39Ar geochronology and the advent of North America's Late Cretaceous terrestrial fauna give some detail on the Asian origin of tyrannosaurids - you should revise the text on this point. -- Philcha (talk) 09:37, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- The sizes diagram is a clear case for Template:Annotated image (examples at Template:Annotated image/doc/Samples), as it can scale text independently of the image scaling and allows you to enlarge the "canvas" to allow annotations even if the actual image has narrow margins. I can handle this if you like, since there's plenty for you to do.
- This section needs a 2nd sizes diagram to the tyrannosaurids' sizes relative to non-tyrannosauroid predators - I suggest T rex and the smallest tyrannosaurid, Spinosaurus aegyptiacus (biggest theropod so far), Epanterias amplexus and the smallest allosaur, and any small Cretaceous or late Jurassic theropod. In fact this new image should go first to establish the size context.
- Should explain the functional significance of the robust skulls and robust, heterodont teeth - see Tyrannosaurus, although you might need to find a wider range of refs for the family.
- Picture of a tyrannosauroid skull would support the points you're making. Brownie points if you can find a good one that's not Tyrannosaurus! If you can find a selection, post links to them here and I'll see if any of them is good for Template:Annotated image (examples at Template:Annotated image/doc/Samples), which is great for anatomical pics - might save some explanations (see below).
- Same for dentition.
- Terms needing to be explained, at least in outline, to make the article more self-contained (there's a guideline about that, but I've forgotten its name). It also doesn't help that a lot of the anatomy articles linked to are far too human-oriented - bloody medics! See also Wikipedia:Make technical articles accessible. One that's not in the following list is "postorbital bones", because "... forming crescent-shaped crests behind the eyes" draws a picture.
- premaxillae
- parietal bones
- sagittal crest
- sagittal suture
- nuchal crest (not even wkilinked)
- parietal
- lacrimal bones
- basal (the article has not yet covered cladistics)
- heterodont
- maxillary and mandibular ("upper" and "lower" would do). BTW you might like ot consider using Padian's phrase "lethal bannas" (ref at Tyrannosaurus)
- "The skull was perched at the end of ..." sounds a bit wobbly. How about "mounted" or "supported"?
- I think "Tarbosaurus had the shortest forelimbs compared to its body size, while Daspletosaurus had the longest" needs a ref.
- Para "It is unclear when the arctometatarsus first evolved; it was not present in ..." looks like a continuation of the previous para - I'd tack it on the end.
- "troodontids, ornithomimids and caenagnathids" needs explaining, but I wouldn't want to see a huge amount of extra text. How about pics? If this article already has good tyrannosaurid pics, images of a representative troodontid, ornithomimid and caenagnathid may make the point well enough. I know I'm suggesting 3 pics for 1 para, but I can help with the layout if you find the pics.
- convergent evolution - I think that "... indicates that all these families acquired it independently by convergent evolution" would do.
- some copyedits needed, but best dealt with after other issues.
Taxonomy and systematics[edit]
- Terms needing to be explained, at least in outline:
- taxon
- genus - unless covered as part of the Linnean taxonomy in "Definition".
- phylogenetic taxonomy - I use "evolutionary "family trees"" a lot, I even use "aunts and cousins" to describe stem groups and they've survived 3 GA reviews. You may have noticed I'm keen on Wikipedia:Make technical articles accessible :-)
- nomen dubium
- clade
- If Brochu gets full name and wikilink (red), so should Thomas R. Holtz, Jr. However I'd have introduced Holtz in the discussion of arctometarsalia (in "Description").
- You should wikilink Eotyrannus - and first instance of all the others used in phylogenetic definitions.
- what's the source for the subfamilies?
- Terms needing to be explained, at least in outline:
- tibiae- see pic at Tyrannosaurus#Locomotion (I must replace that with Template:Annotated image some time!)
- Cladistic
- phylogeny
- stress distribution - and wikilink to Stress analysis, not Stress, which is too abstract & mathematical
- Should show place of -ids and -oids relative to other theropods. Then you can perhaps milk the point that they were coelurosaurs, a name that is asscociated with small dinos.
- The map has big problems:
- Based on modern map, not Mesozoic. I think Late Jurassic would be best, as that's when the earliest -oids date from.
- Legend is illegible at this scale. The coloured dots are hard to see as well. This is clear case for Template:Annotated image, as it can scale text independently of the image scaling and allows you to enlarge the "canvas" to allow annotations even if the actual image has narrow margins.
If you find a Late Jurassic map, I can handle the rest, even if it means creating a new map image with a more neutral background so that the annotations and dots show up well. The best possible map would show a land bridge between N. America & Asia, to explain why these regions got the -ids and others didn't.If vertical space is a problem, e.g. because of annotations, only the N half of the map is needed.
I couldn't find a suitable Cretaceous map, but I can adapt the existing one. -- Philcha (talk) 08:22, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- No source specified in the article or image for the dates & locations of dots (finds). Some WP:RS zealots have been pushing for this, and it would be silly to risk losing a GA grade in a re-review later over this.
- Tyrannosauroid may provide source(s). -- Philcha (talk) 11:33, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
- I'm surprised by "Tyrannosaurid remains have never been recovered from eastern North America". Late Cretaceous Dinosaurs of the Southeastern United States lists a few. Can you check the facts, please. I'm afraid this might need some more research.
- A lot of mentions of geological ages (within periods), which even clued-up non-specialists will find obscure. The obvious solution is Template:Cretaceous graphical timeline, but we already have space issues about the map. We should deal with this after resolving the map.
- Ideally should have pics to explain some terms, but we may have space issues - wait until map resolved:
- lambeosaurine
- hadrosaurs
- centrosaurine
- ceratopsians
- hadrosaurines
- chasmosaurines
- Done Another pic that should use you know what!
- I've done this, so you can see how much better Template:Annotated image works for diangrams like this. -- Philcha (talk) 08:18, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
- For lengths and weights it's best to use Template:Convert, as this does all the arithmetic and automatically uses the WP:MOS-approved abbreviations and puts in the right places. Not a huge deal here, as it looks OK, but worth remembering.
Life history[edit]
- "... growth continued at a slower rate ...", Schweitzer, M.H., Wittmeyer, J.L., & Horner, J.R. (2005). "Gender-specific reproductive tissue in ratites and Tyrannosaurus rex". Science. 308: 1456–1460. doi:10.1126/science.1112158. PMID 15933198. uses "asymptotic size", which,if they used it strictly, suggests decelerating growth.
- Re "Mortality increases again following sexual maturity, partly due to the stresses of reproduction", Erickson, G.M., Currie, P.J., Inouye, B.D. and Winn, A.A. (July 2006). "Tyrannosaur Life Tables: An Example of Nonavian Dinosaur Population Biology". Science. 313 (5784): 213–217. doi:10.1126/science.1125721. PMID 16840697. suggests sexual competition, which to me implies that there were a lot of fatal intra-specific combats.
- Re "The tyrannosaurids spent as much as half its life in the juvenile phase before ballooning up to near-maximum size in only a few years", I'm all for more vivid language on WP, but the use of "ballooning" suggests couch potatoes - Homersaurus. Personally I'd like "bulking up" like the lnie players in American football, but I suspecct that would quickly be replaced by something stuffy. Any ideas?
- Should wikilink 1st instance of Dilong (dinosaur)
Bony crests[edit]
- I've just noticed this duplicates content in "Description", and should be merged into "Description" - where the Alioramus skull FunkMonk has just added will complement the planned T rex skull nicely - one "primitive" tyrannosaurid and the latest model. -- Philcha (talk)
We need to review the lead after the main content is all done. --Philcha (talk) 16:46, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
gee, where should I start? Nergaal (talk) 22:26, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
- I suggest with "things that should be covered" - as I said, these might have knock-on effects - and then with "definition". I know it looks like a huge list, but that's because I've tried to be explicit about about things, which I find (when I'm on the receiving end) is more helpful than general comments. -- Philcha (talk) 05:17, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- I don't think so. Have a look at Wikipedia:Good article criteria. I've seen GAs demoted after gaps in coverage were pointed out. The items I listed at "should be covered" were simply those that struck me at first sight, without any research, and are covered in Tyrannosaurus - omitting them would leave Tyrannosauridae vulnerable to demotion for gaps in coverage, which would be a shame after the work you've already put into this article.
- The big one is scavenger vs hunter. Locomotion and vision are relevant to this, and the main ref about vision at Tyrannosaurus covers Daspletosaurus as well; check that ref for mentions of other tyrannosaurids. I don't know at present what sources are available for locomotion in tyrannosauridae other than Tyrannosaurus, but it's a fairly easy Google - "locomotion speed Tyrannosauridae Daspletosaurus albestrosaurus gorgosaurus tarbosaurus"; use Google Scholar to cut out the stuff that won't satisfy WP:RS.
- I dont' think thermoregulation is too hard, because in the present state of knowledge you can just summarize the parts of Physiology of dinosaurs that are relevant to tyrannosaurids and start the section with {{see|Physiology of dinosaurs}}
- In short, a lot of it's copying and pasting plus minor re-phrasing.
- I actually wanted to add those but I noticed that they are covered only in one or two of the subspecies, so it wouldn't necessarly be representative of the family. Nergaal (talk) 16:38, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- The vision ref comments on tarbosaurs & albertosaurs.
- I expect that if you Google Scholar for arctometarsalia (mentioned at Tyrannosaurus you'll find which critters Holtz assigned to this clade, and that it encompasses the tyannosaurids. Admittedly arctometarsalia is no longer regarded as a useful clade, but the arguments about foot & ankle anatomy will still hold.
- Horner's on a long-term dig pulling tyannosaurids out of Hell Creek like theres' no tomorrow, and he's the leading advocate for the "pure scavenger" view. So that's another easy Google.
- The growth graph already covers all tyannosaurids. There's other useful growth-related stuff at Physiology of dinosaurs, read it.
- Physiology of dinosaurs has plenty on avian-style air sacs, which is relevant to metabolism.
- And I've produced all that just from memory. You'll find more if you start looking and mining existing articles. -- Philcha (talk) 12:37, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
- I actually wanted to add those but I noticed that they are covered only in one or two of the subspecies, so it wouldn't necessarly be representative of the family. Nergaal (talk) 16:38, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- I think a "Definition" section to distinguish between tyrannosaurus, tyrannosaurids and tyrannosauroids is essential in order to help non-specialist readers, who are not familiar with the suffixes. There's no need to go into distingishing characteristics of all these taxa - just explain the terms amd their place in the hierarchy - I guess about 6 lines (i.e. shorter than this reply is so far!).
- I've already said that I'll produce the Annotated images, in fact I've done one already. Do you agree that it's a lot more legible than old one (for comparison see e.g. Physiology_of_dinosaurs#Growth_and_lifecycle)?
- I've asked someone else to provide an image for a size comparison of tyrannosaurids with other theropod predators. If that comes through, I'll annotate it. It shouldn't take me long to produce an annotated version of the existing one showing onlty tyrannosaurid sizes.
- I think there are already other images in other articles that can be used in this one to illustrate e.g. the supposed prey animals.
- I've looked for a Cretaceous map on which to plot tyrannosaurids' distribution, and there appears to be nothing suitable - they are all far too complex and colourful for such a simple plot. I can cut the S hemisphere out of the existing one to save space, expand what's left and then annotate it.
- So IIRC all that needs some hunting down is a pic of a tyrannosaurid skull that makes it easy to point out the features listed in the article. If you provide that, I can handle the annotations.
I think this[1] is the best picture of a tyrannosaurid skull we have by far (informative, sharp, non-distorted, exact profile, minimal noise, specimen number is known), but since you request images of other genera than Tyrannosaurus, here are the best, but they're not as good ast the first one I think.[2][3]
I think the first one should be used, but the background on the image might have to be cleaned up, which would be an easy job.
As for the images of troodonts etc., Im not sure that's needed as long as the names are wikified, people can just go to their respective pages, since they aren't discussed in depth in the text, only mentioned. But I think the article should have an image of each tyrannosaur genera, skeletons of all (that we have), and maybe restorations for few. Here are what I think are the best images of each genus (excluding Tyrannosaurus): Albertosaurus[4], Gorgosaurus[5], Daspletosaurus[6], Tarbosaurus[7]. Also, best image of Jane, if we need it[8], and best image of a tyrannosaur interacting with prey[9]. FunkMonk (talk) 16:34, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- I actually managed to find a PD image which is comparable to the one of Tyrannosaurus, a little less clear, but it's of Gorgosaurus:[10] FunkMonk (talk) 16:59, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- Many thanks, FunkMonk! I agree, [11] is easily the best.
- Re images of smaller contemporary theropods, it's the kind of thing I play by ear when writing articles, making trade-ffs of information against layout. I'd give priority to the least-known in order to help readers - in this case I suspect caenagnathids would come top of the list, as I know zilch about them! -- Philcha (talk)
- If you really want them in, I'll see if I can find the best pics of a caenagnathid, etc, would you prefer bones or restorations? I've got a pretty good overview of what images we have on Commons, since I've edited a good deal of them for example, and I know where I can find stuff if we don't have anything already, so if you need something, just ask, heh. Also, did you see the Gorgosaurus skull image I posted right above your message? It's almost as good as the Tyrannosaurus skull. FunkMonk (talk) 17:43, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- Re smaller theropods, after seeing Chirostenotes I think restorations would be nice. Almost everyone has a fair idea of what T rex looked like, and seeing smaller theropods with feathers will make more impression than bones, I think.
- Re tyrannosaurid skull, the first one you recommended (T rex at Commons) is even better than the Gorgosaurus skull image you posted, and will clean up more easily so that annotations show up well. -- Philcha (talk) 18:23, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, it'll be exciting to see how an actual photograph can interact with the annotations. By the way, can you clean up the image yourself, or should I? Maybe we should have an actual photo of a Tyrannosaurus leg with annotations for the leg diagram in the Tyrannosaurus article too? And the image of the Chirostenotes would be the safests to use, since it's the only restoration of a well known caenagnathid we have, the other one is of Nomingia, which isn't known from much material. FunkMonk (talk) 18:36, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- I think I can clean up the T rex skull - I'll yell for help if I can't.
- If you can suppy a pic with an articulated Tyrannosaurus leg on a light bg, yes, that would be great.
- Having seen the rather theatrical-looking fan on the tail of the Nomingia restororation, I'd go for Chirostenotes. -- Philcha (talk) 20:38, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- I found some legs that could perhaps be used, they're in a public domain paper in the form of a PDF, so I'll post them here in a moment. FunkMonk (talk) 20:50, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, here are some high resolution images of the left leg of Tyrannosaurus for that article, might be used here too, front view:[12] Side view:[13] Should be easy to cut and clean up since the background is light and neutral. Author and date info, for when you upload the image:[14] FunkMonk (talk) 21:06, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- The side one looks good. I'll need to do some work to keep the nearer leg dark and fade the rest so it doesn't distract from the point about the limnb proportions, but I think that will look great. -- Philcha (talk) 21:22, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

reply part 2[edit]
ok, so where should I start... Nergaal (talk) 17:56, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- I suggest with "things that should be covered" - as I said, these might have knock-on effects - and then with "definition", to help out the non-specialist readers. -- Philcha (talk) 18:24, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, Nergaal, I see you've beefed up the article significantly - thanks for the work you're putting into it. I have a few small comments which I've added under the appropriate sections above, to make it easy to track which parts are really finished. However this is starting to look like a really strong article!
- BTW what did you think of my conversion of the "growth curves" graph to use Template:Annotated image? If you like it, I'll convert others as soon as I'm less busy sorting out Spider, which is under threat of losing its GA status. -- Philcha (talk) 11:10, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
- The todo stuff is above your first reply. I think it would be confusing to produce another copy of the same list below this.
- BTW I'd prefer it if you didn't mark items with Done, as that's a reviewer's job.
- OTOH if you want to comment on any items in the todo list, feel free to do so within the list as if each item is a normal discussion - that's worked out fine for articles I've submitted for GA review. -- Philcha (talk) 07:48, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
One note: this article is getting close to becoming huge. Before suggesting it is worth going into more detail about issues, consider thinking about how relevant is the issue to the entire family, or the article will go well over 100k. Nergaal (talk) 03:31, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
- Tyrannosaurus, which is FA, is 97KB while Tyrannosaurid is currently a little under 79KB, so there's 18KB to spare. I can also see places where Tyrannosaurid can be tightened up without sacrificing coverage, although I don't think that's necessary for GA.
I have more than doubled the size of the article, but (correct me if I am wrong) it still seems far away from being done. I have spent a lot of time on this and I am not sure I have the enthusiasm necessary to do another bulk of work on this article... Nergaal (talk) 01:26, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
- I've practically told you what sentences are relevant in some of the refs. There's also a lot you could use in Tyrannosauroidea - refs, ideas about what should be detailed and what should be summarised in articles about each level of the family tree (Tyrannosauroidea, Tyrannosauridae, and genus articles such as Tyrannosaurus) -- Philcha (talk) 10:21, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
GA criteria[edit]
Just to quote one of them:
3.a it addresses the main aspects of the topic — This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required by WP:FAC; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not necessarily outline every part of the topic, and broad overviews of large topics.
- The "points that should be covered" came from my background knowledge without any research on my part. Since dinos are a popular topic, especially those charismatic tyrannosaurids, lots of alert teenagers would see the same gaps. If I were using "comprehensive" as a standard I'd have done some research first to put together from a wide range of sources a shopping list of topics that should be covered.
- This is getting silly. You seem to have spent more time arguing with me than working in the article. I could have improved the article considerably in the time I've spent arguing with you. FunkMonk and I have done more work on the article than you have since this review started.
- A source that's already used and available for free has more on the vision of Tyrannosaurids. Google Scholar for "tyrannosaurid predator scavenger" showed plenty of material on feeding strategy, including one in the first 5 hits that a quick skim persuaded me was right on the money, and available for free. I've also pointed out related articles that contain useful material and sources.
- I've asked for a second opionion. -- Philcha (talk) 10:07, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Second Opinion[edit]
I'm going to be providing the second opinion for this article and hopefully clearing up the confusion that's happening here. Please allow me 24 hours to provide full feedback for this article. If you have any relevant questions or comments please contact me on my talk page. Pursey Talk | Contribs 16:26, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
- Images are used correctly with ALT Text and Captions.
- Could not find any instances of weasel words, and contractions are not being used. I believe it is reasonably well written, not up to Featured Article status, but it meets the GA Article Criteria in my opinion.
- I'm satisfied that the article is written from a Neutral Point of View.
- The article is stable - there's been no edit warring or substantial/massive changes from day to day.
- The article cited to a satisfactory level in my opinion.
The basic "problem" was mainly to do with how broad the article was. If I'd come to the page, not knowing anything about the topic (which incidentally, is the case with me), I feel the article provides a stack of information and references. So as far as I can see, it's broad whilst still being focused.
- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose): b (MoS):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- It is stable.
- No edit wars etc.:
- It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
- Overall:
- Pass/Fail: (In my opinion, this article meets the GA Criteria.)
If this was my review I would pass the article - however I'm leaving it to the original reviewer to consider my input and make the final decision. If you disagree with their final decision you can always ask for a re-assessment. Pursey Talk | Contribs 23:36, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
- On the basis of Pursey's "If I'd come to the page, not knowing anything about the topic (which incidentally, is the case with me), I feel the article provides a stack of information and references" I'll pass the article as GA. Thanks for your help, Pursey. -- Philcha (talk) 23:59, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
Dubious genera[edit]
This edit inserted ito the taxobox some genus names that are considered dubious - a few known onlt from a few teeth, which are not good diagnostics for tyrannosaurids; and the notorious Nanotyrannus', which is now generally regarded as a juvenile T. rex. I' in at leaast 2 minds about this (so at least I'm not alone!), so I think discussion would be useful. The options I can see are:
- Omit entirely from taxobox. This would avoid putting unreliable info in the taxobox, but might leave readers wondering "what about X?" It would also be unstable, as someone would eventually re-inseert them in good faith.
- Include without qualification, as at present. This presents unreliable info. It overstates the number of known genera, which is not serious here but could become a serious problem if the same principle is applied to a taxon where the taxonomy is a real mess.
- Include as a single "paragraph" (so visually different), preceded by e.g. a "?". The "?" could be explained either by a note "doubtful genera" immediately under them, or by linking it to a section of text where thre dubious status is explained. I'd prefer this approach as I think it avoids the disadvantages of the previous 2. --Philcha (talk) 09:24, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
What on EARTH is GOING ON HERE. COELUROSAURIAN?!?![edit]
NVM. My bad. Didn't know about the reclassification. Rlinfinity (talk) 15:28, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
- Interestingly, not only are tyrannosaurs giant coelurosaurs, increasingly studies have found that Coelurus itself is a primitive tyrannosaur, making tyrannosaurs "truer" coelurosaurs in a sense than anything else! Dinoguy2 (talk) 17:03, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
Curioser and curioser... Rlinfinity (talk) 07:53, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
Locomotion Section[edit]
I noticed that the Locomotion section focused almost entirely on Tyrannosaurus rex. While I do understand that T-rex is probably the best researched Tyrannosaur around, so we have more stuff to say about it, I feel that for the Tyrannosaurid page, we should be focusing more on Tyrannosaurids in general. That being said, I can't really offer any research papers talking about Tyrannosaurids in general. So I understand if the reason why the section focuses on T-rex if there aren't many research papers on the rest.- 126.96.36.199 (talk) 15:32, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
I was under the impression that even if the type genus of a family is dubious, the family still goes by that name if the genus is diagnostic enough to be placed within that family? Like in ceratopsidae even thought Ceratops is dubious. Or has this been changed? So this has to be Deinodontidae, or that Chasmosauridae(Or Centrosauriae, don't know which subfamily is older.). Or am I just stupid? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 17:37, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
Feathers 2[edit]
I think we should replace all featherless restorations of tyrannosaurids on this site with feathered versions. Yutyrannus suggests that most, if not all tyrannosauroids were feathered, so the scaly reconstructions are potentially outdated. --184.108.40.206 (talk) 18:38, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
- Heh, then someone has to make them. FunkMonk (talk) 18:41, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
- I definetly think that Tyrannosaurus/Tarbosaurus clade Tyrannosaurs must have had some kind of feathers. I heard somewhere (please correct me if im wrong) that the average temperature of Hell Creek in Montana was about 52 degrees fareinheit, only two degrees warmer than the 50 dgrees of the Yixian formation (where Yutyrannus was discovered). Also there is simply no way that Nanuqsaurus could have not had feathers--184.108.40.206 (talk) 18:13, 14 March 2014 (UTC).
- We're not doubting that they had feathers, we're saying that someone has to make these restoration if we're gonna use them.188.8.131.52 (talk) 12:37, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

WEEKEND EXCURSION; Romance on the Eastern Shore
By SARA RIMER
Published: May 12, 2000
EASTON, Md.— Once again I wanted a romantic weekend, and I wanted it in a hurry. The Eastern Shore of Maryland, a two-hour drive from Philadelphia, where I live, seemed a good bet for that and for an early taste of spring. I had never been there, but my friend Lou, who had made one visit with his son, said he remembered charming small towns and farmland spilling down to the Chesapeake Bay.
Charming was fine, but I was after a bit of luxury as well, so I went to the Web. Within seconds, the Ashby 1663 appeared: a ''stately, historic'' bed-and-breakfast on the banks of the Miles River in Easton. It promised everything I was looking for: stately and historic, plus ''romantic, alluring, luxury, magnificent views.'' Perfect.
While there were slightly less expensive rooms in other buildings on the property, the rooms in the Ashby itself ranged from a pricey $265 a night to an astonishing $595. For a bed-and-breakfast? I booked the $295-a-night room, which promised a ''spacious private bath with large skylight'' and a ''beautiful water view.'' (A person can adjust amazingly quickly to an expense account.) Moments later, craving still more romance and luxury -- specifically $80 more romance and luxury -- I was back on the phone, trying to switch to the $375-a-night room, which promised a ''private deck off the bedroom with a broad 10-mile view in each direction, overlooking the water'' and a ''large private bath with gigantic whirlpool tub.'' Alas, that room was taken.
And so it was that late one Friday night we were traveling down a narrow, nubby tar road through the woods toward the inn. We were almost there when we became aware that the night was full of peeps. We slowed the car to a stop and rolled down the windows, and in came the cool, damp air. We realized we were listening to the early springtime sound of frogs. We were in the country now. So far, so good.
We went the additional half-mile, past rows of old oak trees that lined the road to what had once been a plantation house. At the end of the road, a white mansion with Greek Revival columns and a wide porch glowed with what seemed like a hundred lights. As we pulled into the parking lot, we heard a different kind of music: Roy Orbison, blasting from an S.U.V. Two well-dressed couples spilled out of the vehicle, laughing and talking loudly and carrying their party into the house. Rowdy guests? What was this?
We were swept inside the house with the group, and as we tried to make introductions and find out where our room was, we discovered that one couple were our hosts. The woman, Jeanie Wagner, a slender, striking blonde with a soft Southern accent, welcomed us warmly, grabbed our luggage and led us through a parlor and up a grand polished staircase to our room.
It was pretty enough, but as we looked around, we noticed that the windows were few, and small. Jeanie, as she insisted we call her, registered our disappointment instantly.
''Oh, are you Window People?'' she asked.
Yes. We were.
No problem. She took us down the hall to what turned out to be the more expensive room I had tried to book on second thought. It had plenty of large windows. ''This one has a balcony,'' Jeanie said, leading us outside. A balcony? We walked onto a deck that seemed to be the size of a tennis court. She pointed out the magnolia tree in full bloom below and the swimming pool. The pool was not yet ready for the season, but who cared? We had the whirlpool tub, which was indeed gigantic.
''Someone else has this room tomorrow night,'' she said, smiling and clearly having fun. ''But I can fix that. I'll upgrade them to another room. I don't think they'll mind.''
How could they? They were just about to enjoy $220 more luxury in the $595 room -- actually, it was a suite -- and since no one had it for the night Jeanie let us have a look. It was spectacular, with floor-to-ceiling French windows all around, a king-size four-poster canopy bed, a private porch and a marble bathroom, with a fireplace, a whirlpool and a double shower bigger than some Manhattan apartments.
Jeanie took off her high heels and led us on a quick tour of the house, through the common rooms and into the gleaming white kitchen with potpourri filling one of the sinks. She opened the refrigerator and the drawers of the pantry, taking out bags of cookies and nuts and crackers, and showed us the well-stocked guest bar. Small dishes of M&M's were scattered on tables throughout the downstairs. I confess to a fondness for M&M's, but somehow they seemed incongruous in such a setting.
''This is your house,'' Jeanie said. ''Take whatever you want. Life is about enjoying yourself. You're alone here tonight.'' We were the only occupants of the five guest rooms in the main house. She took us downstairs to a small exercise room with its walls plastered with local real estate listings. Her partner, Cliff Meredith, who owns the Ashby and renovated it, is a developer, she told us.
Rolling in Luxury
Alone in the big house, we unpacked, put on our white terry cloth bathrobes with the gold Ashby insignias and went down, barefoot, to enjoy our house. We poured ourselves brandy, which we don't particularly like but felt the surroundings demanded, and sat on one of the rust-colored Colonial-reproduction sofas in the living room, looking out into the night. Sated with that, we then sat on the teal-and-burgundy Colonial-style sofa in the parlor across the room from the grand piano. We nibbled on nuts. I ate a few M&M's. We admired the opulence: Oriental rugs, fine china in glass cases, porcelain vases.
Tomorrow we would set out in search of the Eastern Shore.
The only thing about spending that much money on a room is that you feel you ought to stick around and make it worth it. Somehow it was important to us to soak up all the luxury.

Cotto on Winning a Fourth Divisional Belt For Puerto Rico
Question - How important is it for you and Puerto Rican boxing you win this title and become a four-division champion?
Miguel Cotto: Puerto Rico has been a hot-bed for boxing for a long time and has given the Island some of its most memorable moments in sports. The people there love their boxing and their boxing history from the first world champion in Sixto Escobar to the more than 50 champions that have after him the people of this tiny island have supported us without reservation.
My beautiful Puerto Rico for a long time has been one of the greatest boxing nations in the sport. We have a big legacy from big fighters that were the inspiration of many generations. I have always wanted to write my own history with my own hands. I will never pretend to be better than anyone. I just want to be the one who accomplished a feat that other legends could not.
Some of our best fighters are not only Puerto Rican greats but all time-greats of the sport. Carlos Ortiz, Wilfredo Gomez, Wilfredo Benitez and Felix "Tito" Trinidad and many others have made Puerto Rican boxing what it is today and I am only an extension of their greatness, so to have an opportunity to become the first four-time world champion in different division is very special to me.
This feat would not only be a great achievement for me but for all Puerto Rican greats that have come before me and for the great fans that have supported me thru out my career and the many that love their boxing history and tradition in Puerto Rico.
This is for all the fans boxing in my country, and to have the opportunity to do it in New York in Madison Square Garden my second home will make it even more special. June 7 will be night to remember for Puerto Rican boxing.
24/7 Cotto/Martinez Show #1 debuts Saturday, May 31 at 11:15 p.m. ET/PT on HBO.
Cotto vs. Martinez happens Saturday, June 7 live on pay-per-view beginning at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT.

Private Detective
Average Salary: $45,740
Expected Lifetime Earnings: $1,910,000
Private detectives make a median annual wage of between $40,000-$50,000 (source). The average rate for a private detective is a really great fifty bucks an hour—and the really good Hollywood-class private eyes make ten times that figure. Besides your daily (or nightly) rate, you can also charge extra for things like data encryption, overtime, and planting evidence.
Shmoop Disclaimer: Please don't plant evidence.
To calculate a quote for a case, a private detective will estimate how many hours they need to work. Once they figure out the hours, they give the client a quote before investigating. The client must review cases that run longer than the amount estimated for the investigation. And it always takes longer than expected.
Most private detectives start out in an entry-level position at a firm. Oftentimes, insurance companies and other businesses will hire a firm to conduct background checks or investigate questionable claims.
Private investigating firms typically pay their employees on an hourly basis. This isn't your typical day job. You may need to follow someone in the middle of the night or put in twelve hours or more in a day while investigating financial fraud for a major client. You can make more money if you take on what's considered to be high-risk cases, like investigating hazardous waste.
Generally, it's best to meet clients in an office rather than a back alley. You'll also have to get a business license (source). Keeping up on the paperwork is pretty mundane but completely necessary stuff. It's not all car chases and fake moustaches when it comes to being a private detective (sorry).

Bareboat sailing in the Caribbean.
Advice on bareboat sailing in the Caribbean. Four of us intend to spend a week sailing in the Caribbean in early February. Our group knowledge of the Caribbean is very limited.

Beach camping & fishing in Quintana Roo, Mexico?
Hubby and I are planning a last minute trip to Mexico. We're going to fly into Cancun and don't plan on renting a car since we're on a tight budget. We'd like to find a beach campground that's along the Caribbean Sea where we can stay away from crowds and just relax and maybe even do some shore fishing. Would be great it's within walking distance to a small local restaurant of sorts or even if it's just stalls. Does one exist? For the life of me, I have not been able to find any budget beach camping information online. I guess what makes it more difficult is that we'd like to be able to get there by bus and/or colectivo, if possible and it will be during the holidays! I knew I should have researched before booking but we got a good price and well...it will be winter and we could use the sun! Anyone BTDT? :) p.s. I'm totally open to suggestions! TIA!!!

Any tips for a summer of working abroad?
I have the possibility of going abroad next summer, fully-funded through a scholarship program through my university, up to $3000 for the summer. Here's the catch -- it has to be a work or intern experience - it can't be study abroad. The only stipulation for work - over the summer i have to do at least 35 hrs/week, and 8 weeks of work - so there could be a study compoenent at the beginning too. I've never had the opportunity to go abroad in college (cause of cash restraints and b/c of transferring schools), and I've really wanted to go to South America or the Carribbean. My Spanish is pretty weak, but i'm working on it right now, until next summer. Any suggestions on programs or countries, or fellow MeFi experiences? I'm pretty much starting in the dark here.
What's it like to live and work in Bermuda?

risk management
Risk management is the process of identifying, assessing and controlling threats to an organization's capital and earnings.
Investor and customer confidence relies heavily on alleviating risk. These threats, or risks, could stem from a wide variety of sources, including financial uncertainty, legal liabilities, strategic management errors, accidents, natural disasters and information technology (IT) security threats.

In recent years, several industry and government bodies have expanded regulatory compliance rules that scrutinize companies' risk management plans, policies and procedures. In an increasing number of industries, boards of directors are required to review and report on the adequacy of enterprise risk management processes. As a result, risk analysis, internal audits and other means of measuring the effectiveness of risk management processes have become major components of business strategy.
Risk management standards have been developed by several organizations, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the ISO. These standards are designed to help organizations identify specific threats, assess unique vulnerabilities to determine their risk, identify ways to reduce these risks and then implement risk reduction efforts according to organizational strategy.

A frame from my continuing webcomic The Streets Of San Diablo, as seen on Activate.com

Henry V
by William Shakespeare
Henry V Power Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Act.Scene.Line)
Quote #1
The king is full of grace and fair regard.
And a true lover of the holy Church.
The courses of his youth promised it not.
The breath no sooner left his father's body,
But that his wildness, mortified in him,
Seemed to die too. Yea, at that very moment
Consideration like an angel came
And whipped th' offending Adam out of him,
Leaving his body as a paradise (1.1.24-32)
According to Canterbury and Ely, Henry V is an excellent king, despite his wild youth. Here, Canterbury compares Henry to Adam (from the Book of Genesis) and suggests that Henry has been redeemed for the sins of his past.
Quote #2
My learnèd lord, we pray you to proceed
And justly and religiously unfold
Why the law Salic that they have in France
Or should, or should not, bar us in our claim.
And God forbid, my dear and faithful lord,
That you should fashion, wrest, or bow your
Or nicely charge your understanding soul
With opening titles miscreate, whose right
Suits not in native colors with the truth;
For God doth know how many now in health
Shall drop their blood in approbation
Of what your reverence shall incite us to. (1.2.11-23)
At this point in the play, we've already learned that Henry is thinking of claiming the French throne. Here, Henry tells the Archbishop that it will be his fault if Henry starts a big war that can't be justified. Is it just us, or does Henry seems reluctant to take responsibility for his actions and decisions?
Quote #3
Then hear me, gracious sovereign, and you peers
That owe yourselves, your lives, and services
To this imperial throne. There is no bar
To make against your highness' claim to France
But this, which they produce from Pharamond:
'In terram Salicam mulieres ne succedant'
(No woman shall succeed in Salic land),
Which Salic land the French unjustly gloze
To be the realm of France, and Pharamond
The founder of this law and female bar.
Yet their own authors faithfully affirm
That the land Salic is in Germany,
Between the floods of Sala and of Elbe,
Where Charles the Great, having subdued the
There left behind and settled certain French;
Who, holding in disdain the German women
For some dishonest manners of their life,
Established then this law: to wit, no female
Should be inheritrix in Salic land,
Which Salic, as I said, 'twixt Elbe and Sala,
Is at this day in Germany called Meisen.
Then doth it well appear that Salic law
Was not devisèd for the realm of France,
Nor did the French possess the Salic land
Until four hundred one and twenty years
After defunction of King Pharamond,
Idly supposed the founder of this law,
Who died within the year of our redemption
Four hundred twenty-six; and Charles the Great
Subdued the Saxons, and did seat the French
Beyond the river Sala in the year
Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say,
King Pepin, which deposèd Childeric,
Did, as heir general, being descended
Of Blithild, which was daughter to King Clothair,
Make claim and title to the crown of France.
Hugh Capet also, who usurped the crown
Of Charles the duke of Lorraine, sole heir male
Of the true line and stock of Charles the Great,
To find his title with some shows of truth,
Through in pure truth, it was corrupt and naught,
Conveyed himself as th' heir to th' Lady Lingare,
Daughter to Charlemange, who was the son
To Lewis the Emperor, and Lewis the son
Of Charles the Great. Also King Lewis the Tenth,
Who was sole heir to the usurper Capet,
Could not keep quiet in his conscience,
Wearing the crown of France, till satisfied
That fair Queen Isabel, his grandmother,
Was lineal of the Lady Ermengare,
Daughter to Charles the foresaid Duke of Lorraine:
By the which marriage the line of Charles the Great
Was re-united to the crown of France.
So that, as clear as is the summer's sun,
King Pepin's title and Hugh Capet's claim,
King Lewis his satisfaction, all appear
To hold in right and title of the female.
So do the kings of France unto this day,
Howbeit they would hold up this Salic law
To bar your highness claiming from the female,
And rather choose to hide them in a net
Than amply to imbar their crooked titles
Usurped from you and your progenitors. (1.2.37-100)
Whoa! Canterbury gives a looooong, drawn out speech explaining why he thinks it's okay for Henry to make a grab for the French throne. (We counted, and it takes the guy 63 lines.) Here, he says that the French have been using the Salic Law as an excuse to prevent English kings (like Henry's great-grandfather King Edward III) from inheriting the French crown. (Salic Law is just the name of a French rule that prevented men from inheriting the crown through a female line. In other words, if a king has a daughter, she can't inherit the throne and her sons and grandsons can't inherit it either.) Canterbury also claims that, from a historical and legal standpoint, the Salic Law only applies to Germany, not France. Plus, adds Canterbury, a bunch of French kings have inherited the crown through their mothers' family lineage, so the Salic Law shouldn't apply to King Henry V either. Um, okay. If it's such a cut and dry case, why does it take Canterbury so long to justify it?

Beautiful weather drew record-breaking crowds of more than a million fairgoers to the Wisconsin State Fair this year, numbers that may be a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence, fair officials said.

It's all the same to Tom Stoppard, whose "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" fuses the Bard and Beckett in a comic and also moving commentary on modern life. Under James Bohnen's direction, we're being treated to the comedy and the pathos in a stellar production at American Players Theatre, with actors in the same roles they've assumed in APT's "Hamlet." »Read Full Article(3)
