 * Inconspicious barb → Spelling.  --Relisted. Armbrust The Homunculus 06:49, 4 August 2014 (UTC)  Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:13, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose Both references spell it "Inconspicious". I could also find a 3rd reference Ann: Zoologische wetenschappen, Volume 278. Tassedethe (talk) 19:18, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Support. If I died yesterday, I wouldn't know that the proper spelling is conspicuous, and would have spelled it with an $\langlei\rangle$, like suspicious. I suppose many native speakers (and I'm not one) make the same mistake, as the Google search (and conspicious) confirms. However, it is not our duty to parrot the mistakes of our sources, no matter how reliable they were, if they're obvious and easily proven. Zoologische wetenschnappen is a reliable source for biology, not for English spelling. No such user (talk) 07:10, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
