the format for citations??????????????????????????

Suggestions for Improvement

This page is really starting to take shape, and I've seen a lot of excellent expansion going on in the last week. That said, there is still room for improvement (which, in the end, I think is probably good). At first glance, I was wondering why you picked the topic you did. However, having glanced through a few of your numerous potential resources, I think there's a lot to work with here, and this article can easily be GA-Status by the new year. Based on my observations, here's what I've got for you:

• the Stomolophus Mealegris Toxin section has the potential for expansion. Although you've mentioned that it is unlikely to sting humans, it might be possible to find some specific instances where recorded incidents of cannonball jellyfish stinging humans did occur, and possibly of the side-effects it had when it did.
• Reading through a few of the sources, some of them mentioned that CJ numbers have been declining off the coast of Mexico in the last decade or so. This likely warrants a full and lengthy section
• You could possibly expand on the symbiotic relationship between the crabs and the CJs.
• The bits in the intro about its anatomy could probably be split into a separate "anatomy" section.

That's all I've got for the moment. All the best, Cam ^(Chat) 04:54, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Furthermore — the suggestions in the archived peer review have not been followed yet. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 20:03, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it would be nice to get more description of what it looks like and how it is built, what parts there are. I think the name Cannonball jellyfish gets a bit cumbersome whenrepeated many times. Once towards the end it is referenced with cannonballs, without jellyfish. I think this could be used from the start, but with singular cannonball, when appropriate. Also, please replace the scientific name in the text with the english. --Ettrig (talk) 17:44, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

There is some information about use of cannonballs as food in Jellyfish. --Ettrig (talk) 08:26, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
