Talk:Virgin Islands dwarf sphaero

 * Do you really need the catalog number for the holotype? If kept at all, it should explain that "MCZ" is the Museum of Comparative Zoology.
 * The holotype is listed in multiple publications, so I figured it was worth a mention. If you feel there's a good reason to exclude the information, please share it and I will remove it.  Otherwise, how do you suggest mentioing the Museum of Comparative Zoology?  Should I just link MCZ? –  VisionHolder  « talk » 23:49, 2 July 2011 (UTC)


 * The lead says it's among the smallest terrestrial vertebrates, but the body talks about amniotes only. It's probably still among the smallest land vertebrates, but I believe there are some very small frogs and in any case this should be distinct.
 * I was trying to keep the word "amniote" out of the lead because I didn't want to have to explain the term. As for amphibians, don't they classify as "semi-aquatic"?  If needed, I can change it to "amniote." –  VisionHolder  « talk » 23:49, 2 July 2011 (UTC)


 * You use scientific names most of the time (as you probably should; I doubt those geckos really have well-established common names), but sometimes use common names (e.g., "big-scaled least gecko") in the comparisons section.
 * I wrestled with this a lot when I wrote it. A few sources refer to a common name, but not many.  Personally, I would favor switching both the text and the article title to the scientific name.  What do you suggest? –  VisionHolder  « talk » 23:49, 2 July 2011 (UTC)


 * "Its distribution is considered unusual because despite its separation from S. nicholsi in Puerto Rico, the Puerto Rican Crested Toad (Bufo lemur) has a geographic range that includes both islands."—sentence doesn't make sense to me.
 * I guess I need more explanation... basically the the two diverged with an oceanic barrier, whereas the toad lives on both islands and did not diverge... which makes it a bit odd, according to the source. I'll try to word it better.  Otherwise, thanks for the comments! –  VisionHolder  « talk » 23:49, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Does it look like a dime to you? (the picture of the lizard on the coin)

 * It does to me. What does it look like to you? –  Maky  « talk » 05:01, 5 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh OK. Dimes do have serrated edge. I was thinking of the nickel.Ebaychatter0 (talk) 07:10, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
