 * As they are only known as "tollo" to fisheries, I'm suggesting a tweaked ALT:
 * ALT1 ... that the spotted houndshark, the speckled smooth-hound and the humpback smooth-hound are collectively known as "tollo" when taken for human consumption?
 * I'll review them later today if nobody gets to them first, but don't feel you are pushing me out of the way if you want to jump in; supper first. Belle (talk) 17:49, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

All three articles expanded sufficiently; no close-paraphrasing, copyvio, or plagiarism; neutral; citations where required; QPQs done. The only thing I'm in two minds about is whether the hook is a bit misleading since tollo seems to be used for a large number of species when taken commercially ( I don't know if you read Spanish, but I'm sure you can get the gist anyway even if you only know maracas, cerveza and olé). I'm resisting rewording it as it would disqualify me from passing the nomination. Belle (talk) 00:22, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, I see what you mean. It contrasts with this source which talks of the Peru tollo fishery. What if we just exclude the "collectively" or do you want a complete change? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:11, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Either ALT2 or ALT3 are fine. I prefer ALT2. Belle (talk) 10:42, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
 * ALT2 ... that the spotted houndshark, the speckled smooth-hound and the humpback smooth-hound are known as "tollo" and used for human consumption?
 * ALT3 ... that the spotted houndshark, the speckled smooth-hound and the humpback smooth-hound all give birth to live young?
