https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jiY_W34EOcTDQZMeCPafZ1L-vSF87RnP/view I have acquired the Rotaciurca paper!

Lessons I’ve learned:

Don’t try and include Jurassic angiosperms. At all. Unless I miraculously find one that Xin Wang hasn’t gotten to.

(In the same vein, wait until studies are peer-reviewed before using them)

While ResearchGate is good for finding papers, it’s not a valid source for references.

Cite your claims, otherwise 90% of the time they’ll get reverted.

Try and find the original paper describing something to make a Wikipedia article about it.

Don’t try and make snide remarks in edit summaries, it rarely ends well.

Don’t add uncited statements (even if they make sense) e.g. Chuandianella being a basal hymenocarine

Corollary: Wait until papers get published before including their results (such as paraphyletic Offacolidae and the existence of “Hebdomopoda”)

(eventually) upcoming articles:

Lots of misc. invertebrates
