Dunkleosteus77, I've replied to your comments. Is it better now? An anonymous username, not my real name 21:19, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The only part of the mention of Komensosaurus in the article relevant to Classification is "Carsosaurus has been a nomen dubium since its description." The Komensosaurus paper has a detailed classification history of aigialosaurs, including Carsosaurus, which I think should be incorporated here. Komensosaurus and Carsosaurus both lived in Cenomanian Slovenia so that would make them coeval. Paleoecology should give us a general background of the world of Carsosaurus (ie Cenomanian–Turonian Slovenia), including creatures it would've likely come into contact with, but do make note if they do not come from the same formation Dunkleosteus77 (talk) 17:02, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Very little of the section about classification history mentions Carsosaurus specifically, and it would probably be more appropriate in other articles. I did do the other thing you mentioned.
The only thing you should really be saying about Komensosaurus in paleoecology is that they are both aigialosaurids found on the Karst Plateau during the Cenomanian, not how similar they are. Also, is there no other creature from this area and time? No fishes, sharks, other reptiles, crustaceans, plants? Dunkleosteus77 (talk) 16:24, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for taking a minute, but your two comments appear to contradict each other. I have included the full original line in classification because the fact that they are from the same area and time period is part of their similarities and relative to the confusion surrounding classification, but I've also kept a brief mention in paleoecology. Furthermore, I have listed other species from the area and time.

Komensosaurus shouldn't be in the Classification section as you can say the exact same thing about any other aigialosaurid. It's quite self-evident that the describes of Komensosaurus concluded their taxon is similar to Carsosaurus hence they classified it as an aigialosaurid, and that it is different than Carsosaurus hence it is its own genus Dunkleosteus77 (talk) 01:18, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I see your point. I hope it's okay now.
Hey, @Dunkleosteus77:, it's been a little while, so I'm pinging you in case you didn't notice my comments. An anonymous username, not my real name 18:06, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Improved to Good Article status by An anonymous username, not my real name (talk). Self-nominated at 23:56, 27 December 2022 (UTC).[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.
Overall: All checks out. Hook quote confirmed ("The aigialosaur Carsosaurus marchesetti is known from a single specimen... Abundant remains of advanced embryos preserved within the body cavity of Carsosaurus indicate that this individual is a gravid female close to parturition.") Interesting article, thanks.
