User:Styracosaurus Rider

Hello. I'm Styracosaurus Rider, and I'm the main admin and bureaucrat of the wiki right now. I am a big fan of Prehistoric Park.

I also edit on the Wiki Prehistorica, Jurassic Park Canon and Fanon Wikis, and Wikipedia, among other things.

Reborn
Read my fanfiction Prehistoric Park: Reborn here.

A couple rants:

 * I think that if this is a Prehistoric Park Wiki, it should have only Prehistoric Park stuff within. Yes, Nigel Marven has been in a bunch of other TV shows with prehistoric life in them but no they are not from Prehistoric Park. Land of Giants and Giant Claw and Sea Monsters might be considered predecessors of the show, and it might be worth mentioning, but if you do anything more with them the wiki will just turn into yet another pseudo-Walking With pit of chaos littered with duplicate pictures, trolls, and bad grammar. I'm sick of that.
 * Fanon is different from canon. Nearly half the articles on this wiki are composed of dinosaurs that have never even been mentioned in the series, instead being part of this Walking With Dinosaurs movie crap (yes I know there is supposed to be one, but don't claim ownership to the entire thing ok?). I've tagged most of them for deletion. But listen up: fanon has no place within a canon wiki. There's stuff like fanfiction.net and a Prehistoric Park Fanon Wiki (shoutwiki.com) for that. So please, only stuff that has been confirmed in the actual series should be put on this wiki.
 * Corollary to my second point, I think that a certain amount of non-fanon speculation should be allowed. There's a lot of talk about the identity of the Chinese titanosaurs, and the function of the aviary under Nigel's den, and the names of certain veterinary assistance. I haven't been able to find a reliable Prehistoric Park forum, but the stuff that type of site talks about might be of similar interest. If a subject has garnered enough speculation and is deemed potentially notable, I think it should be included, but in very specific sections of the corresponding article, and maybe a place in the forum watercooler.
 * But a lot of speculation is given as to the names of certain articles - take the Mass Break-Out for instance, which I don't believe was ever explicitly named in the show itself. In cases like that, I think the most widely-used name should take precedence.


 * Appearances of a creature, place, or thing should be laid out in chronological order. Seriously, it makes things a lot easier if you keep it organized. When you're finished dealing with a particular episode, labels like (PP: A Mammoth Undertaking) will make things look clean and pretty, too. See style guide below.
 * I'm done now. :)
