Which species?
[edit]- The invasive crabs in Tunisian waters: some references call them Portunus segnis, some call them Portunus pelagicus; which are they? Or what? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:41, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
- Anthony Appleyard They are Portunus segnis, CABI states that they were named as P. pelagicus when first identified. The inference seems to be that at that time P. segnis was regarded as a synonym of P. pelagicus.Quetzal1964 (talk) 10:11, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- Unfortunately I was too late to respond to the much missed Anthony, I will leave my comment up. I also dealt with the question in Taxonomy section of the article.Quetzal1964 (talk) 14:28, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

5x expanded by Quetzal1964 (talk). Self-nominated at 14:46, 16 July 2022 (UTC).
- Starting review--Kevmin § 16:00, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
As nominated, the article is not a 5x expansion from the 865 character count in the pre July-15 version. The article is currently at 3729 characters, while a 5x expansion will need to be over 4325 characters.--Kevmin § 16:38, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- Kevmin Thank you, it is large enough now and the hyperparasite “pepper pot” could be interesting enough for a DYK! Quetzal1964 (talk) 18:15, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
no worries Quetzal1964, Article expansion new enough and now long enough. Article is cited and citations are neutral. hook is sourced and verified. No policy issues have been identified, and no close paraphrasing is seen in checking. Looks good to go.--Kevmin § 00:35, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
