I don't understand what the hook is trying to say, as it seems to be missing at least one word. Were you going for "that at least one species"? Chris857 (talk) 02:37, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Yes I was, and Im not sure when "one" disappeared from the hook, o.0 Thanks for noticing, and pointing it out!--Kev min §

Date (9 October 2012) and size (6391 characters) check out. However, there should be a more interesting hook, instead of just naming one of the five species in the genus.--SGCM (talk) 16:30, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

I thought the fact of one species being named calico was interesting, and chose the wording to make it interesting sounding. Do you have an alternate suggestion? --Kev min § 17:16, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

It was named calico after the Calico Mountains, so perhaps that?--SGCM (talk) 18:11, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

I was going on the mystery of letting readers make there own initial assumptions on which calico was being references (color, fabric, etc...) and that would lead them to click the link.--Kev min § 18:04, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

If you put it that way, that could work. I have no further objections.--SGCM (talk) 03:01, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
