The hook is based on the sentence "It attempts to avoid being eaten by sticking unpalatable seaweeds and small invertebrates onto its carapace. " which is unsourced. It needs to be verifiable.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:19, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
- That's not true. It's referenced to the Smithsonian Marine Station website. And the fact does appear on that website.--Carabinieri (talk) 21:20, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
- The fact is unsourced. How would I know its a fact from the Smithsonian Marine Station website without a citation next to it?♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:40, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
- The footnote is right there - about three inches away on my screen.--Carabinieri (talk) 21:48, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
- I have added another citation for extra clarity. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:11, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
Looks good to go now with the hook sourced. -- Esemono (talk) 01:11, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
