Talk:Onychopterella

Size chart
Hello,, I'm sorry to have to bother you again. I have researched more about the genus and it seems that O. augusti was larger, measuring a total of 14.3 cm in length, I guess the document I took the measurements of only took the length of the holotype. Also the differences between the species are virtually more notable than I thought. O. kokomoensis and O. pumilus should not have those prolongations at the end of the swimming leg, as well as a slightly shorter terminal spine (but this can be omitted) and a considerably longer telson. In addition, O. kokomoensis had two lateral extensions in the last segment, which none of the other species had. image of a fossil of O. kokomoensis can also serve as a reference for O. pumilus except in those extensions of the last segment. There are more images in the article if you need more. Can you change the current silhouettes according to these changes? Super  Ψ   Dro  21:34, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I'll see what I can do today or tomorrow. That is notably different! --Slate Weasel (talk | contribs) 22:27, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Is this better, ? --Slate Weasel (talk | contribs) 21:14, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Indeed is better but O. kokomoensis still has those two projections at the end of the last appendage. The rest looks good now! Super   Ψ   Dro  13:04, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Oops, forgot about that. It's fixed now. --Slate Weasel (talk | contribs) 15:38, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Great! Thanks and have a happy new year! Super   Ψ   Dro  18:40, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

light copyedit
Noticed this at the guild request, and couldn't help but tweak a couple things. I'll do some more if it seems helpful, or step aside and let the guild do their job. Like everything biological, an interesting article. cygnis insignis 07:36, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, all help is welcome. I have changed some things but your edits have been useful. Super   Ψ   Dro  09:51, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Possible redundancy in lead and description
I noticed similar discussions of O. kokomoensis and O. augusti in the lead and description.

From the lead: "The largest species of the genus was O. kokomoensis with a total length of 16 centimetres (6.3 inches) long, followed by O. augusti (14.3 cm, 5.6 in) and O. pumilus (4 cm, 1.6 in)."

From the description: "The size of the largest one, O. kokomoensis, is estimated at 16 cm (6.3 in), representing the biggest species of the family Onychopterellidae. O. augusti had a similar size, with the largest specimen reaching 14.3 cm (5.6 in)."

This isn't my area of expertise so I thought I'd bring it to the attention of someone more knowledgeable to determine whether an edit is necessary or would be beneficial. --Theleot (talk) 02:21, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Well since the lead is supposed to summarize the content that is present in the rest of the article I don't really see what the problem is with information on how large the animal is featuring in both the lead and the description. Ichthyovenator (talk) 09:21, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Makes sense to me. Thanks for looking into it. --Theleot (talk) 21:41, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
