Palinurus charlestoni

  • Reviewed: Cardiff town walls
  • Comment: I provide some alternatives, in case they're needed, although I prefer the main hook.

  • Date, length, sources and hooks are fine. I also prefer the first hook but I don't like "Cape Verdean". What about
  • Do you have some reason for disliking "Cape Verdean"? (It seems to be the usual adjectival form; cf. Cape Verdean creole, etc.) The hook is rather snappier using "Cape Verdean" than in the form avoiding it. --Stemonitis (talk) 22:08, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Well, I believe you used "Cape Verdian" once in the article so it seemed a rather made up word. However, if it is an accepted adjectival form, I have no issue with it. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:15, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
  • That was in a direct quote, which I didn't feel I ought to alter, in case "Cape Verdian trap" was an established phrase, just as "Cape Verdean Creole" is. I wouldn't be extremely averse to changing it to "Cape Verdean trap" if not. --Stemonitis (talk) 19:13, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
  • I withdraw my objection. Good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:45, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
