Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Phoneutria, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Why did you remove the Encyclopaedia Britannica reference? Also, changing information about the spider's legs requires a good source, so the content can be verifiable. Train of Knowledge (Talk) 02:37, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

The reference was removed in relation to the statement ‘2 of the species are referred to as Brazilian Wandering spiders’, which isn’t true, the original poster misinterpreted the information so it was removed along with the content. Regarding the length of the legs. Myself and numerous other Phoneutria breeders all have numerous photos of specimens over 18cm documented. Can you upload photos as references?

Also, It literally says 18cm on the citation already provided. ‘Martins and Bertani 2007’ Martinbell87 (talk) 09:49, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
