 * Interest: Rather impenetrable. All of those technical words make it pretty unhooky. "section"? Could you simplify and make it punchier? Tony   (talk)  01:45, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Comments/discussion:
 * alt 1 hook added on July 26, but no further discussion has happened. Is Tony1 still here?-- Kev  min  § 05:47, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

GTG but please clean up redlinks and if possible add another source. Sharktopus talk 03:26, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I dont think 5 links is an exorbitant amount to be honest, but I have unlinked the geologic formations, bringing it down to two species aad a genus which are red-links. The species has only had the one paper, the type description, published.  Thus additional references are not available. -- Kev  min  § 03:58, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the effort. I also removed a couple of redlinks, in one case by creating a stub for Kenai Group.  Sharktopus talk 04:15, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Can someone propose an ALT here that's preferable less impenetrable? PanydThe muffin is not subtle 12:41, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
