Argh... I rewrote almost this entire article over the last few days and then I lost it all by accident. So now I will re-rewrite it! Sheep81 07:46, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Based on the criteria listed at WP:WIAGA I am going to pass this article as a Good Article! Congrats! -- Jayron32| talk| contribs 04:14, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Can we please have some citations of these prints and published speculation about heterodontosaurs making them? Sheep81 ( talk) 03:06, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
From a DML post on this year's Palaeontological Association meeting:
"Two studies of heterodontosaurs agree that they were not sexually dimorphic and that the tusks were already present in juveniles. Morphology, wear and the weakness of the lower jaw suggests that the teeth were used for straight biting, but not tearing or slashing. The conclusion was that the tusks were probably not used for intra-species fighting or display, nor for defence, but that heterodontosaurs were omnivores living in semi-arid habitat and used the teeth to kill smallish prey."
I'm hoping for a Tetrapod Zoology post out of this. J. Spencer ( talk) 21:45, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I went through the article and made various changes, please look them over. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2007. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. --Happy editing!

What other family would Eocursor and Pisanosaurus fit into if not Heterdontosauridae? They may be farther apart than the other Heterodontosaurs, but they are also the closest animals to it and share features in common with them. Most importantly they are more related to the Heterodontosaurs than to any other family and are not placed in any other family of their own. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CF97:4500:41AB:2414:FB4D:C366 ( talk) 15:59, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
When searching for the classification of Pisanosaurus under the classification heading of the Pisanosaurus page I found this:
Pisanosaurus is the type genus of the Pisanosauridae, a family erected by Casamiquela in the same paper which named Pisanosaurus.[5] The Pisanosauridae family has fallen into disuse, as a 1976 study considered the group synonymous with the already named Heterodontosauridae.[8]
The paper cited in support of this is here:
Bonaparte, J.F. (1976). "Pisanosaurus mertii Casamiquela and the origin of the Ornithischia". Journal of Paleontology. 50 (5): 808–820. JSTOR 1303575.
As such Pisanosaurus would belong to the Heterodontosauridae, as would intermediary genera between Pisanosaurus and later heterodontosaurs such as Eocursor. For this reason I have added both Pisanosaurus and Eocursor to the page. (from User:Jfraatz)
