No, it's not. As Jeff Poling says on that
page, he patterns his cladograms off the Dinosauricon, but hasn't updated them
for a long time. As an example, on the first page of the
cladogram-
Dinosauria incertae sedis includes-
"Beelemodon", a probably indeterminate
coelurosaur.
"Hadrosauravus", Horner's original name for
Kritosaurus latidens.
"Hunhosaurus", a misspelling of "Honghesaurus",
which is an early name for Yandusaurus hongheensis.
"Lancangosaurus", an early name for Datousaurus
bashanensis.
"Luanpingosaurus jingshanensis", actually is
Dinosauria incertae sedis.
Macroscelosaurus, a synonym of
Tanystropheus.
"Proiguanodon", an improperly proposed synonym of
Iguanodon.
"Protrachodon", a synonym of Orthomerus created to
make Protrachodontidae valid.
Qinlingosaurus luonanensis, a valid
neosauropod.
"Sanchusaurus", an indeterminate probable
ornithomimid.
Shanyangosaurus niupanggouensis, a valid possible
oviraptorosaur, probably a maniraptoran at least.
"Tyreophorus", a misspelling of
Thyreophora.
You can see it's not very accurate at all, which is
a shame because the site is quite well done. Jeff seems to be difficult to
contact via e-mail, but if anyone would like to suggest to him that he update
his site with the Dinosauricon's latest info (although even the Dinosauricon
isn't getting updated while Mike makes the new version), it would be appreciated
by many. In the meantime, go to http://dinosauricon.com/taxa/index.html for
your cladogram needs.
