Archaster typicus

(

)

... that a male and female pair of sand stars, Archaster typicus, engage in pseudocopulation so that when they spawn, some two months later, they will do so simultaneously?

Article and hook look fine. However, this is my first review. I would appreciate a second opinion. Anne (talk) 13:37, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Jumped the gun. You need to link to your review. Also, in reference 3, Archaster typicus is referred to as the Common sea star, but it's not mentioned in your article. And, in same ref, mention of possibility of 3, 4, or 6 arms (although photo of 7 arms). Your article indicates 4,6, or 7. Anne (talk) 12:19, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure what you mean about linking to my review. Perhaps you wanted this. I didn't include the term "Common sea star" in the article because that is very likely a name used in Singapore but not in other parts of the starfish's range. You were quite right about the number of arms and I have changed the article. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:09, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Close enough. My understanding is that it's usually a link to the completed template, not the editing template. The rest seems fine. I checked your correction, and also accept your explanation. Congratulations. However, I am still requesting a second review as I am new to the DYK process. Anne (talk) 14:38, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
