 * Symbol question.svg I don't like the idea of referencing the hook with a user-operated wiki. Even though they provide secondary sources over there (including Wikipedia) I don't think that this site passes the Wikipedia criteria for reliable sources. Can you try to find another, reliable source for the Cambrian age? De728631 (talk) 08:52, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I have removed that information from the article. How about - Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:53, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * ALT1 ... that the specific name of the yellow calcareous sponge (Clathrina canariensis) provides information on the location from which it was first described?
 * I have another suggestion (ALT2) since canariensis → Canary Islands may be a bit self-explanatory. Otherwise the criteria have been met: the article has been expanded way more than fivefold and both hooks are cited. De728631 (talk) 14:47, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * ALT2 ... that the yellow calcareous sponge may be overgrown by other organisms?
 * I'm happy with ALT2. People might have thought the name referred to the sponge's canary yellow colour! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:09, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Great. Then let's take ALT2. Ready to go. De728631 (talk) 20:03, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Note – I've removed "(Clathrina canariensis)" from ALT2. That was only added to ALT1 because it was relevant to that hook, but ALT2 is better without it. M AN d ARAX  •  XAЯA b ИA M  08:25, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
