Well, some of Andrey Atuchin's artwork bothers me, in having uncreative colourations (see the pink Pterodaustro, though at least it's modelled after a spoonbill instead of a flamingo) and a few details like cruropatagia attached to the tail, but overall I am pleasantly surprised.

I'm not sure how accurate Atuchin's Anurognathus but...
... You could say from a technic...

... Nah, it's just to cute.

There's also these odds re-edits in which previously accurate information was replaced by outdated information.

"Nice going".

The article of Dsugaripterus kinda bothers me. In the summary they do say that it was either a molluskivore or an osteophage (I'm pretty dure I spelled that wrong), but the actual article ignores completelly the latter theory (which considering what we know about Dsugaripterus and it's relatives might be the more accurate one).

Yes, the previous edit explored how it was a terrestrial animal and it might had been omnivorous. Now it's been replaced by some bullshit about it's torso "being too small" and feeding exclusively on freshwater molluscs.

The first edit was awful, it said it hunted small animals and crushed their bones with it's blunt teeth. Then they changed it to say it ate shellfish, and then they changed it again to a jumbled mess.

Frankly eating shelled animals is the best assumption, but their reasoning is awful.

It pobably did crush bones with its teeth; they would suit with an osteophagus or molluscivorous diet well regardless. But an omnivorous diet should suffice; these were inland pterosaurs adapted to running and less adapted to flying.

True, I hadn't meant that as in scavenging but they likely would have. They said it was hunting down prey and crushing it ALA a miniature Tyrannosaurus.
