If there's a link to information on it, I could create the wikipedia page for it. I've done several.

I put the article in, so can put it up whenever he likes. The article still needs a bit of work, but only with the taxobox and the way the references are listed.

Thank you. I've created quite a few articles, including ones for Murusraptor, Promegantereon, Nanosmilus, Isaberrysaura, and Chenanisaurus.

I might flesh out the article a bit too if I get the time.

Are the reduced hindwing remiges an educated guess or are they supported by the fossils ? Also, Excellent work ! I think you're the first to draw this species. ^^

There are none preserved on this fossil if that is what you mean. The hindleg remiges here are actually typical for paravians, it is only Microraptor (so far) where they are super exaggurated, so I wouldn't call them reduced. I just gave it standard paravian feathering.

I see ! I was under a bias then. ^^ Thank you for the precision ! 
Microraptorinea seem to have been relatively diverse after all.

You'd think the legs were a second pair of arms
