I don't see what's wrong with 53. Fixed the rest; note that anything with a doi is extremely easy to add, enable the cite tools in the tool box, go to templates> journals, and paste the doi in the relevant field, then it will be filled out for you automatically.

It is strange this isn't added by Citationbot, I have requested the feature.
[2] Not sure how to check which articles are on JSTOR or not without manually plowing through them all.

The trunk is the torso. Of course, then you might ask "What is the torso?" and we could only only answer "the trunk" :o). We cannot explain the most basic of anatomical terms; in the end we must refer the reader to a dictionary or general anatomical article.--

Almost, but as the text states "at the front of the narial fossa, the depression which extended far in front of the bony nostril towards the snout." So saying "on the snout" would be a bit misleading, as the source doesn't actually say "on the snout".

Technically, they're on the snout (rostrum) but not at the tip. We can change it into "towards the snout tip". It would be useful if the image also indicates the bony nostrils. Most people take them for the eye sockets :o)--

Though this
[3] diagram has some issues, might it be a good substitute for the Witmer brachiosaur figure? A bit annoying that option a doesn't show the nostrils on the very top of the head...

I think I will make a new diagram based on Witmer's figure. The old image there has too many issues that are hard to fix since it's a 3D model.

Changed it into "emphasized". Of course, this has the drawback that we now suggest that this claim is true, while Amphicoelias had already been discovered. We can't use "claimed" or "stated" because article titles don't really claim or state.--

I decided to pitch in and link all of those except Tendaguru (it's linked in the lead, although should it also be linked in the body?) and pleurocoels (plural link doesn't work, singular link redirects to pneumatization. --

By being most similar to that of Giraffatitan, which was then included in Brachiosaurus, and by default, since Brachiosaurus is the only brachiosaurid known from the Morrison Formation. I added the following sentence to clarify: "They based the skull's assignment to Brachiosaurus on its similarity to that of B. brancai, later known as Giraffatitan."

At the top of the head. Take a look at the Felch Skull. Those large openings at the top are the bony nostrils. The fleshy nostrils would be even higher, opening upwards.--
