Drawing of an apertural view of Semisulcospira libertina

... that Semisulcospira libertina (pictured) is the most common freshwater snail in Japan?

@Snek01: New enough, long enough, neutral, no copyvio detected, cited well, hook fact directly cited, image is free, just needs a QPQ and this will be good to go. Keilana (talk) 19:23, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, this is good to go now! Keilana (talk) 22:40, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

Comment- I've added (pictured) to the hook, per convention. However, the caption on the image is probably needlessly verbose and jargony. A four-line caption seems a lot of page space, and to most readers, in any aspect (apertural or otherwise), it is simply a shell image. If this image is used on the Main page, I think nothing significant is lost by simply stating "Shell of Semisulcospira libertina" or even more concicesly: "Semisulcospira libertina shell." (see below). Leave the jargon to the malacologists. Embrace the clarity of brevity!--Animalparty! (talk) 07:16, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
