Coaster trout
Coasters are a large-bodied, potamodromous population of brook trout. They are not a subspecies. Generally speaking, populations and stocks of fish should really be treated on the main species page. Had you read the brook trout article before beginning the coaster trout article, you'd have noticed that coasters were already described there. This afternoon, I simply copied the paragraph from the brook trout article and pasted it over the contents of the coaster article. In any event, you've started a new page for coasters so, that's done. But, please, don't keep indicating them to be a subspecies of brook trout unless and until you can point me to a competent taxonomic authority that indicates differently. Cheers, and thanks for editing. &mdash; Dave (Talk | contribs) 01:53, 14 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I've placed a suggestion on the article's talk page that it be turned into a REDIRECT as I did with the Siscowet article. If you have comments or concerns, that would be the place to express them. &mdash; Dave (Talk | contribs) 04:13, 14 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Done late last night without any ensuing comment or controversy. &mdash; Dave (Talk | contribs) 14:03, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Template:Fishproject
Thanks for spreading the good word of WP:FISH across Wikipedia. However, that template is supposed to be placed not on an article's main page but on the article's talk page. Thanks very much. &mdash; Dave (Talk | contribs) 02:02, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Siscowet
Again, siscowet are not a subspecies of lake trout, they are what is most properly called a phenotype. I took the liberty of adding a description of siscowet and the other Lake Superior phenotypes to the lake trout article and turned your siscowet page into a redirect.
