C&Px5 Great job, Oceanh and Chiswick Chap! This article is absolutely brilliant! LavaBaron (talk) 09:14, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
A check of the online sources reveals a very good job of avoiding close paraphrasing, except in this line:- Source: Females of Heteropteryx dilatata are the heaviest known Phasmids, possibly weighing in excess of 65 grams.
- Article: Females of the species Heteropteryx dilatata are the heaviest known phasmids, possibly weighing in excess of 65 grams.
- Also, the link for footnote 1 appears to have been removed from the site. Yoninah (talk) 22:56, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
- Oh good Lord. This is obviously a case of WP:LIMITED given the short sentences of non-substitutable, scientific words. Chiswick Chap and Cwmhiraeth; if you want to (or even think it's possible) to change this be my guest. If not, ping me and I'll push this through to the queue like a runaway freight train carrying TNT and mescaline. LavaBaron (talk) 01:49, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- Template:Replyto I have rewritten the sentence, but I would like to point out that in its original form, it predates our involvement with the article by several years. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:11, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
