 * &#x2713; This is Cwmhiraeth's 1287th nomination. A QPQ review of Template:Did you know nominations/Wesley P. Lloyd was performed for this nomination.
 * Bot statements appear to check out. The egg, tendril and yolk facts don't seem to appear in the source, and I am not certain if "narrow and lobate" can be read as "narrow lobes" or "grey-brown dorsal" as "grey brown, period". Article seems neutral and well sourced otherwise. Hooks are sourced inline, short enough and I prefer ALT1 (details are more interesting). QPQ is done. Some minor sourcing issues, thus.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 16:29, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The source states "The egg cases are anchored onto the seabed in estuaries and other sheltered areas" and our article on the catshark family states "Many species of catshark,... are oviparous and lay eggs in tough egg cases with curly tendrils at each end, known as mermaid's purses, for protection, onto the seabed." The species of catshark which do not reproduce in this way produce live young and we know this species produces egg cases. I hope that clarifies the point. When writing the description I have to try to keep to the meaning without close-paraphrasing the source. I have made some alteration to the wording. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:53, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
 * That seems to answer it. The yolk, lobe and colour issues still are a bit unclear to me.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:44, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I can remove the bit about the eggyolk if you want, but I'm not sure precisely what you mean about the lobes and colour issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:56, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Adding a source for the egg yolk statement would also work. The lobe and colour issues are now resolved I see.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:22, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I have removed mention of the egg yolk and replaced it with mention of nursery areas as per the source. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:07, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
