Talk:Macropinna

Ran across an article about this fish...

Might come back later to see if it can be used as a source, but for now, I'll just post it.[1] A blog, yes, but a blog from the Discovery Channel; a bit more reliable than the average blog. EVula // talk // ☯ // 17:39, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks! There's another blog post on Pharyngula, with some discussion of the anatomy of Macropinna's eyes. http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2009/02/weird-eyed_fish.php Gary (talk) 20:04, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
  • And a couple more links, from (roughly) the same source that I got the rest from:[2][3] EVula // talk // ☯ // 21:30, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Italic Title?

Why is the title Italic? I don't know how to change it... but yeah, why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.232.35.74 (talk) 14:27, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

• I think scientific names are always supposed to be in italics. Gary (talk) 20:21, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
  • But in almost all other articles (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyto_robusta - took a while to find one without a common name) have titles in regular case, not italic. I submit to change the title of the article to regular case.
    • I don't care either way, it's just a grammar thing, but I don't know how to change the case of the title. Gary (talk) 17:45, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
      • The case of the title was originally Regular... someone changed it to italics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.232.35.74 (talk) 18:07, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Description of external links

I put descriptions of the external links, so that people would know what it was they were clicking on, if they wanted more information. For example, I said that one of the links had an article and a video. But unregistered users keep changing the title so that the video is not mentioned, and they appear to want a lower quality copy of the same video to be emphasized. Why is this?

How big is it?

Looks like a nuclear submarine on the youtube footage... 2cm? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.178.162.163 (talk) 19:16, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

The most horrifying thing you'll ever see. horrendous nightmare fuel from the sunless depths of the ocean. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.30.139.251 (talk) 22:47, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
