Very nice looking start. I think something could be added about possible predators that they have and behavioral techniques used to avoid them, if there is a natural predator for them. Also maybe some more information about any sort of social life they may have or ways in which they communicate. This is a really nice start to your project and its looking pretty solid. The conservation status thing is really cool and I'm wondering how you got it up there? Other than those small things its really nice.

This is very well written and has lots of new information. The only thing that caught my attention was in the habitat in distribution section. In this paragraph "Clearnose skates prefer shallow water that is at least partially saline (≥22 ppt).[9] Brier skates are most commonly found at depths less than 111 m, but can be in waters as deep as 330 m.[8] Skate depth is dependent on season, with R. eglanteria located primarily more inland during the winter and spring and offshore during the summer and fall.[10]", i feel as though it can be reworded. It makes it seem as though the Clearnose and the Brier are different skates? Great job though! Mmoneil1 (talk) 19:50, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

The organization of the article is in a very logical order. The citations appear to be correct and the information included is very specific when it comes to temperature ranges, depth, and size ranges. One suggestion I have for the human interaction section is to add information on how human-induced global warming or pollution may impact this species, if possible. Well done!

Just realized I put my suggestions on the wrong page so I copied it over to make it easier to find...

It looks like you did a really good job of adding to this page, theres not really a lot that sticks out that you need to add. I would maybe change the "Description" heading to something like Anatomy but thats just personal preference, and maybe describe if the males/females look different than each other though that may not be too important. You could maybe add a bit on their behavior, though that is sort of all taken care of with the "Biology" heading, if there is enough information out there about the species. Other than that though the structure of it worked well, all the citations were there etc. Again its personal preference, and formatting the location of it seems like a real chore, but I think it may look better with the taxobox moved to the top of the page. If you did that you could maybe add a real life picture of it next to the Description heading, but it sounds like we may be doing that next week. Overall though the page looks really good...
