 * ... that the prevalence of cannibalism in the southern cuttlefish Sepia australis from Southern Africa increases from west to east? Source: "The only cephalopod identiﬁed in the diet was identiﬁed as S. australis, in both years. The incidence of cannibalism was greatest in the east, more than double that in the other two regions"

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article long enough, and has been expanded 5x (was redirect previous to 's work). Article reads as neutral, passes Earwig's . References look good (assuming one reference at the end of a paragraph covers the full paragraph, as is common in research publications). One ref is hosted on Wordpress, but it looks good, and the scientist has other publications: (available here),, etc.

 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote ALT1, but do not see the parallel between the hook fact about "tasty flesh" and the way it's worded in the article: perfectly edible species. Yoninah (talk) 00:12, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The original source said "Its relative high abundance and tasty flesh may make it the target of fisheries in the future" which I reinterpreted as "perfectly edible" in the article. Happy to change the hook to "despite being perfectly edible and abundant the southern cuttlefish Sepia australis is currently of little interest to fisheries?"

 * But "perfectly edible" is not a good paraphrase of "tasty". I suggest putting "tasty flesh" in quotes in the article and hook. Yoninah (talk) 10:44, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay so ALT1 now reads "despite its "tasty flesh" and abundance the southern cuttlefish Sepia australis is currently of little interest to fisheries?" Quetzal1964 (talk)  19:19, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you. Restoring tick per Paul2520's review. Yoninah (talk) 22:05, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
