Revisions by 24.75.75.34 seem to be unfounded and lacking in multi-sourced research, other edits only served to generalize previous statements. Please state sources if you or anyone else objects.

Saws
Jan 1, 2006:

I just looked at the two large "saws" again that I brought with me to San Francisco 4 years ago. They are a family heirloom from my grandfather's time in the German navy (Weimar time - i.e. 20's) given to him as commander of a Navy cruiser on a good-will tour around the world. I was told they are from Indonesia - Borneo, Sumatra. They are both still very sturdy and about 4' long with about 30 pretty long teeth (1") on each side. I would like to know how I can tell what kind of a sawfish it is.  Green sawfish or smalltooth saw fish.  In the publicized descriptions I can only find species differences in the form and color of the fish itself. Can anybody help?  Thanks Hans Kolbe hanskolbe@celantrasystems.com

This is the worst article I think I have seen on Wikipedia. Someone with some knowledge about sawfish, please clean it up.

why
i was just thinking why are the sawfish endangered its for a school report

Age
Is the life expectancy correct in this article? According to this article Buzz, a sawfish, is at least 42? Link: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/11/15/BA3U1GCFJ9.DTL&tsp=1 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.130.34.137 (talk) 07:15, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Cleanup
I added a 'cleanup' tag to the article. It's not terrible by any means, but it needs some serious work here and there. It's relatively minor stuff, but distracting nonetheless. 67.249.178.169 (talk) 14:15, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Seeing that your complaint was about grammar, I have changed the template to a more fitting. If it only is "in a few spots", I would suggest you correct it. 62.107.214.63 (talk) 04:43, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Incorrect Attribution
The photo that's been used for the Smalltooth is not a smalltooth sawfish. I clicked the photo and the owner of the photo labeled it a largetooth. I made the change in one place, but the photo is elsewhere on this page. Georgia Aquarium only has largetooth and green sawfish. http://www.georgiaaquarium.org/animalguide/oceanvoyagerbuiltbythehomedepot/greensawfish.aspx I am not sure how to fix this, but wanted to point it out to someone who does know how to correct it.

Lacks even BASIC information
The article somehow omits any and all reasons why the fish belongs to rats rather than sharks. 91.223.75.139 (talk) 12:56, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
