Osteology of the Reptiles
I've adjusted the index page numbering so that the page numbers are now shown as they should be. --EncycloPetey (talk) 06:07, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

I'll see about setting up images for the book. If you come to a page that has an image, go ahead and proofread the text, but mark it as "Problematic" (blue) which will make it easier to find later. This will be easier if I can preload the necessary images to a folder on Commons. --EncycloPetey (talk) 06:33, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

It will take me time, but I'll continue working through the images for Osteology of the Reptiles, with the plan to finish within the next 2–4 weeks.

If you find this sort of work interests you, and are willing to work on another similar work, I'd love to see C. L. G. Günther's Index:An Introduction to the Study of Fishes.djvu completed. I started it when I was still relatively inexperienced and got bogged down in other things. The big advantage of the Fishes is that a lot of the images are already up on Commons, because this was a landmark work illustrating many groups for the first time. Of course, it is not tetrapods, and not paleontology, but it is vertebrate diversity and includes osteology.

Either way, I see you've helped out validating a few other papers, which is great. We don't get many people editing the scientific papers here. --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:56, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out. And much obliged again for all the work you've done on Osteology! Lythronaxargestes (talk) 01:15, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
