Talk:Etmopterus

Edit warring
you are engaging in edit warring. I am not sure whether or not you are aware that in reverting edits to re-remove E. baxteri from the species list, you are also reverting our (both mine and 's) copyedits. Your lack of an edit summary in your explaining any of your changes prompted me to believe that this removal was a mistake. Whether or not my reintroduction was correct, my reversion of your edit should have prompted a discussion on this talk page per Bold, revert, discuss in order for us to come to an agreement. You also removed a reference (Silva & Ebert, 2006) from E. burgessi, the See also section, and moved Elmidae's addition of a section titled "Ecology" that does not need to be placed in the lead.

I see that CoF lists references for E. baxteri being a synonym, but FishBase lists it as valid and says the synonymy is misapplied. Is there a recent article that's accessible that says E. baxteri is a synonym? – Rhinopias (talk) 21:18, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Second that. This kind of thing needs to be discussed first (and not even having the courtesy of using edit summaries is in no way helpful). I've reverted to the previous state. Now please make the case for why you think this material should be removed. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 08:18, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
