Are we sure they called the Dromaeosaurids "Velociraptors" in Dinosaurs on a Spaceship? Solomon just called them "raptors" and I don't think anyone else called them by name. I mean, I may just be hoping that the BBC is just covering for the inaccuracies by not identifying their species. -<Azes13 17:59, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

I was thinking the same thing. Velocoraptors were actually very small, they are only considered to be about as tall as a human due to Jurassic Park, which was inaccurate. Geek Mythology 19:25, September 9, 2012 (UTC)
Should we re-establish the deleted info from Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, or did a DWU source somewhere specify that the species is smaller than humans? -- Tybort (talk page) 15:57, September 12, 2012 (UTC)
Tybort is right, we need a DWU source that establishes something specific about them and if they're sized differently or whatever.
We also need to remember that the DWU and real world don't often align, especially with dinosaurs (look at Invasion of the Dinosaurs).
If "Raptors" is all we have to go on then we can either create an article specifically called "Raptor" (though it currently re-directs here) or have a subheading called "Raptor" where we deal within information that just states "Raptor" with the info from Dinos on a Spaceship and if there's any other DWU sources they can go there as well. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:31, September 12, 2012 (UTC)
