Pronunciation[edit]

The book cited as evidence of the 'JY-gah-NOH-toh-SORE-us' pronunciation actually proposes the pronunciation 'GIG-'. Is this sufficient to edit the IPA pronunciation section to 'GIG-'? EtheyB (talk) 09:38, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to change it accordingly. FunkMonk (talk) 20:09, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone correct the pronunciation for Giganotosaurus? I would do it but only people with Wikipedia accounts can edit this page. I will add that mispronouncing Giganotosaurus is quite widespread and it would be good if Wikipedia didn't encourage it. Everything Dinosaur actually made a video where they touched on the correct pronunciation of Giganotosaurus with input from the SVP, at 3:32 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gw79A7Fqr4 2A02:C7C:649E:3600:A8FC:2BE4:D0F9:C010 (talk) 15:14, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Asking again in case it was missed due to my correction yesterday. Can someone please correct the pronunciation of Giganotosaurus please? 2.223.234.63 (talk) 15:45, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This has now been corrected as per my initial comment. EtheyB (talk) 14:17, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

tv series[edit]

suggested note at top alongside 'Not to be confused with Gigantosaurus.' 'For tv series, see Gigantosaurus_(TV_series)' 86.144.185.105 (talk) 15:28, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why? Everything named after a particular animal doesn't need to be listed under said animal's "not to be confused with". FunkMonk (talk) 16:31, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
