Clathrina canariensis

  • I don't like the idea of referencing the hook with a user-operated wiki. Even though they provide secondary sources over there (including Wikipedia) I don't think that this site passes the Wikipedia criteria for reliable sources. Can you try to find another, reliable source for the Cambrian age? De728631 (talk) 08:52, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
I have removed that information from the article. How about - Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:53, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
  • I have another suggestion (ALT2) since canariensis → Canary Islands may be a bit self-explanatory. Otherwise the criteria have been met: the article has been expanded way more than fivefold and both hooks are cited. De728631 (talk) 14:47, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
ALT2 ... that the yellow calcareous sponge may be overgrown by other organisms?
I'm happy with ALT2. People might have thought the name referred to the sponge's canary yellow colour! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:09, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
Great. Then let's take ALT2. Ready to go. De728631 (talk) 20:03, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
Note – I've removed "(Clathrina canariensis)" from ALT2. That was only added to ALT1 because it was relevant to that hook, but ALT2 is better without it. MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 08:25, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
