Some thoughts-
- mortality is a dablink
- redirected to death
- "of a "Trygon pastinaca" feeding" Is this a new name without a description? Or is this name a species previously described?
- added link to common stingray, of which that's an obsolete name
- papillae is a dablink
- fixed
- "Repulse Bay" Worth a link?
- Added the redlink; it has a Commons category
- "not to be the case" Why "to be"?
- changed to "this is not the case"
- "the intertidal flats of estuaries and bays, that" If you're specifying which intertidal flats it prefers, lose the comma? Alternatively, if you're describing the nature of intertidal flats generally, change to "which"?
- changed to "which"
- "Known parasites of the estuary stingray include the tapeworms Heterocotyle chin and Shirleyrhynchus aetobatidis,[8][9] the nematode Echinocephalus overstreeti,[10] and the monogeneans Empruthotrema dasyatidis and Neoentobdella cribbi.[11][12]" Links? Don't be scared of redlinks.
- links added
- "fresh or brackish environments may serve nurseries." Serve as?
- fixed
- "Finally, this ray's reputation for damaging shellfish has led to persecution by commercial shellfish farmers.[1]" Howso?
- the source doesn't go into detail; I assume killing them somehow
- "This ray is not known to be dangerous to humans.[5]" Feels a bit "tacked on". Also, does it not sting?
- Fishbase only lists it as "harmless". I'll get rid of the sentence until more specific info becomes available.
- Category:Fish of Australia?
Sources, images and stability are good. The lead image isn't ideal, but it seems to be the best available at this time. If you're interested in requesting one, this site may not be a bad place to try. J Milburn (talk) 17:05, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
