Include living bird

[edit]

This montage does not include a living bird. I replaced the image of Microraptor gui with an image of a beautiful firetail, and it got reverted by Andy M. Wang. I think there should be a living bird because this image is being used on Wikipedia as the main image of articles about dinosaurs in general, and to not show an extant dinosaur is saying dinosaurs are extinct. --How come why not (talk) 21:45, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User:How come why not, I see that you are blocked on enwiki. I reverted the edit for multiple reasons. The first is that it didn't have consensus. Possibly the more important reason is that, after the edit, you neglected to update the dinosaur article with an update about the bird in question. The description still had that of the previous file version. Notice how it's used cross-wiki, not just at enwiki. The change affects articles everywhere, and you did not update descriptions that depend on the previous file version. I assume that you don't know Hebrew or Vietnamese, or Scottish Gaelic to make updates necessary anyway. In any case, it was highly disruptive, which was why you were blocked on enwiki. Andy M.
