Talk:Salema porgy

Sarpa salpa was reportedly consumed as a recreational drug during the time of the Roman Empire.[2]
 .. and which can cause hallucinations when eaten.[1] The source under [1] doesn't report that this fish can have hallucinogenic effects but instead reports that this fish is reported to have hallucinogenic effects. I mean this is no source at all and it doesn't allow to write "and which can cause hallucinations when eaten" anyway. If at all, then "and which is reported to be reported as to be possibly able to cause hallucinations when eaten"  The summary of source [2] (http://informahealthcare.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15563650500514590?journalCode=ctx ) doesn't say one word about sarpa salpa "consumed as a recreational drug during the time of the Roman Empire" and for the article itself one must pay. Is this form of "Sourcing" allowed? Beside that I lived in the 50es, 60es and 70es along the Mediterranean Sea, catched and thrown away many salpas (they are considered both very spiny and not very tasty, you can get them possibly under mixed fry in a very very cheap restaurant, but then you don't really know you have eaten salpas) and I never heard of this tale. As the two cases cited are apparently the only ones known from the beginning of the time until today, and as I cannot find any reliable source for the two men having 1) really eaten salpas and 2) having really gotten their hallucinations from the unlucky salpas, I consider this whole article a poor hoax and worthy to be deleted. By the way, one gets to this article if one searches "salpa" or "sarpa", so one expects to find some useful informations about the fish, its life, its environment and so on. One can write a lot about it, see the linked German article for example, but here nothing, not a word about the fish itself, just this wholly unsourced nonsense. 194.174.73.33 (talk) 16:02, 15 November 2013 (UTC) Marco Pagliero Berlin
