- Oppose. It's a cast, not the real skull, so what's the EV? Spikebrennan (talk) 04:45, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose being a cast it's EV is lower in Sue (dinosaur). According to the article "The museum made a cast of the skull, and altered this cast to remove the distortions, thus approximating what the original undistorted skull may have looked like." So good EV would be showing an angle in comparison with say File:Sue skull.jpg to show those distortions and used in the article approprately. It's use in all three articles seems to be just tacked on, and adds little or nothing, possibly detracting from the article due to over-illustration. A more side-on shot like File:Tyrannosaurus Rex Holotype.jpg for Tyrannosauridae & Tyrannosaurus has signifigantly more EV than this angle of just the skull. — raekyt 08:06, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
