Cripes, what an article. New enough, long enough, interesting hook, citations look good. Issue with the image captions though: they seem a bit non-encyclopedic. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:49, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Well, you learned something new today, didn't you? :-) I've amended the captions; see what you think of them now. Prioryman (talk) 18:31, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Alright, good to go now. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:51, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Comment: I have no problem calling the other examples in the article "hair thieves", but the Piranhas in Venezuela are more like "hair robbers", right? --PFHLai (talk) 10:24, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

The Piranhas are specifically described in multiple sources as "hair thieves" [1]. Prioryman (talk) 10:40, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

Okay then. --PFHLai (talk) 11:32, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
