Hi, I came to promote this, but the hook appears to be cited to a blog. What makes echinoblog.blogspot.co.uk a reliable source? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:56, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Ritchie333: I am not familiar with the subject, but I am assuming it's a reputable blog as it's being operated by Christopher L. Mah, an expert in this field and a research collaborator for the Smithsonian Institution. Pinging Cwmhiraeth for better explanation. Alex Shih (talk) 15:11, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Ritchie333: Indeed, and if you look at the foot of this page you will see that he is the expert used by the World Register of Marine Species to confirm the taxonomy of echinoderms. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:15, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
