I see the following template was removed:

This dinosaur restoration is inaccurate, or its accuracy is disputed.

Reason: Pronated hands.

You may ask further questions about the accuracy of this image at the image review page of WikiProject Dinosaurs on the English Wikipedia. Note that this image may be appropriate to illustrate obsolete paleontological views.

It was placed here because the way this skeleton is mounted inhibits its educational value. Its hands are rotated in a way that is known to be impossible for theropod dinosaurs.[1] Removing notes of this is misleading to the public. FunkMonk (talk) 20:42, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is absolutely true to this day the great majority of scquelette and casts were badly mounted. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:07, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps, but in all such cases, we should make it clear so we don't mislead people. FunkMonk (talk) 20:36, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
