Why the crap is this written in first person? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.130.150.132 ( talk) 04:27, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
It might be worthwhile to mention that Marsh named coprolite after ED Cope (shows what he thought of him, doesn't it?). I read that in a very good book regarding the Bone Wars. -- Cromwellt| talk| contribs 04:49, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Actually, "copro-" means feces, as in coprophilia or coprophagy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.130.150.132 ( talk) 16:02, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
In this Book [1], it is stated "When Cope died, he donated his body to science, and his skull is sometimes reckoned to be the type specimen of the human species, Homo sapiens, his dearest wish." Is this true? And even if it isn't, shouldn't the myth be mentioned? FunkMonk ( talk) 06:50, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Accordig to these guidelines, images should have fixed sizes, unless they are diagrams or similar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Image_use_policy#Size http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Accessibility#Images FunkMonk ( talk) 14:02, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
It might bear mentioning that Philadelphia society portraitist Cecilia Beaux, a family relation of Cope's, was hired by him in the beginning of her career to do lithographs of fossils for Cope. [2] MarmadukePercy ( talk) 00:44, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
The so-called "Reference" Section is actually a bibliography and not a Reference section at all... Stevenmitchell ( talk) 04:00, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
Article fails to mention Cope's views on evolution which were frankly orthogenetic with his batmism theory. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 11:42, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

I found an incorrect link in the article. Clicking "Institute for Colored Youth" takes you to "Cheyney University of Pennsylvania". Sgharp ( talk) 12:46, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi all -- Cope is a major character in Michael Crichton's novel Dragon Teeth, which was published in 2017. Given the high profile of Michael Crichton, and the fact that the novel is entirely about the Bone Wars, do you think this factoid would be appropriate in the article, perhaps in a "In popular culture" section? -- Cloud atlas ( talk) 04:17, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
I started to edit the citations using the rp format so that they are a little cleaner. Here's some more info: /info/en/?search=Template:Rp
If this is objectionable, please let me know and let's talk about why. Thank you! Emjackson42 ( talk) 22:45, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
