Template:Od lots of references...I'm on cell phone til tonight, or would recite now. Found many, including Freshwater Fishes of North America: Volume 1: Petromyzontidae to Catostomidae edited by Melvin L. Warren, Jr., Brooks M. Burr Atsme☯Consult 19:12, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

GA'd recently enough. No copyvio or plagiarism detected. No close-paraphrasing except where unavoidable or attributed in-line. Citations where citations should be. Hook cited. Neutral. QPQ not required (I think). ALT struck as original hook was amended. Picture is indistinct at this size but that's never stopped a prep-builder picking one in the past. (Some cracking easter egg links redirected to the correct destinations and an error pointed out on the talk page.) Belle (talk) 09:56, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
