Ok I found this interesting website, and i like to know if it is a good resource. (knowing that not all websites are trustworthy)
http://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/index.html


ZoPteryx

I used it when making my field guide supplement, it seems to have good info.

I'm not sure on this one, but whatever you do, never use reptileevolution.com.

Why are you bringing that up? Nearly everyone on this site knows not to trust David Peters' work (heck anyone with common sense should know)

Well, I'm still a newbie, haha. I'm not sure what most people here know. Just making sure that's known.  :)

It doesn't look too bad, but for dinosaur articles Wikipedia is probably still better. Wiki cites sources per line or claim, not in general for the whole article, so it's easier to see which info comes from where. It's also more frequently updated. For example, the Eosinopteryx page http://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/e/eosinopteryx.html still lists its troodontid status as fact even though recent studies cast doubt on this.
