Talk:Eelpout

Merging with burbot
Disagree - There is no connection at all apart from both being fishes. They are even in different Orders. GrahamBould 08:19, 13 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, a bizarre merge suggestion. It might be worth a dab link to burbot at the top of the page here, after confirming that fishbase or somebody else documents "eelpout" as a name known to be used for burbots. Stan 17:54, 13 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Third opposition to a merge. Just checking http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Whatlinkshere/Eelpout makes it quite clear merging is the last thing that should be done to this fish name. Instead; if it is genuinely true that somebody calls the burbot an eelpout, the case might be made for disambiguation. -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. 18:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Eelpout/burbout section removal & commentary
As per the above discussion, and opening 'disambiguation' terminology sentence of the article, a special purpose, one article editor added an entire section about "eelpouts" angling, actually about burbots. The section was without references, and for good measure, included an external link. It's been eliminated, and I'm not going to bother leaving a message at the editor's User Page. If anyone else wants to contact the editor, please go right ahead. Tapered (talk) 01:04, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Deleted distribution section
old distribution section was for just one species and had contradictory information, deleted the wrong information and moved the distribution to the lead as there really isn't a lot to say about it 66.212.64.182 (talk) 20:24, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
