Reviewer: Sasata (talk) 19:18, 24 March 2010 (UTC) Hi, I'll be reviewing this article. Comments in a day or 2. Sasata (talk) 19:18, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent work as usual. Just a few comments:

  • wlink/wikt link for reticulations in the lead
  • Done
  • should Urolophus jamaicensis be put as a synonym in the taxobox?
  • My own policy is to only include original combinations in the synonyms box
  • "…and inserts a single claspers into her cloaca." clasper or claspers?
  • Fixed
  • any lifespan info?
  • Added
  • anything worthwhile to add from the following?

  • I added brief notes about the hearing threshold and the brain size; the circulatory system info is probably too esoteric for the general reader (and for me).


Let me know of further issues. -- Yzx (talk) 18:22, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
