William Baker (colonist)
[edit]- ... that New South Wales Marine Corps sergeant William Baker had a fish named after him in 1843?
- ALT1:... that New South Wales Marine Corps sergeant William Baker was the inaugural crier for Australia's oldest Supreme Court?
Improved to Good Article status by Euryalus (talk). Self-nominated at 01:59, 26 September 2015 (UTC).
Article recently promoted to GA; hook short enough & interesting; hook fact confirmed from online Australian Museums citation. I could not access Fishbase, but confirmed synonymy from another source. (Incidentally, might want to mention that the fish was also known as Aulopus purpurissatus). AGF for ALT1 (offline source). Sasata (talk) 22:40, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
