Steatoda edit

I have been offline for several days due to illness and travel. In reply to your question/comment on my talk page, I think your proposed proof of the possible large size of these spiders would be original research contrary to Wikipedia editing guidelines. You should cite a reliable, verifiable source for the fact that these can grow to larger sizes. I think one of the cited articles actually says something about these possibly growing to 3 cm., but, sorry to say, I did not take note of it and could not readily find the story. So I can believe your change but I still think you need to provide a source - and that such source can be found. Please see Wikipedia:Citing sources; Help:Footnotes; Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view,Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, Getting started; Introduction to Wikipedia; Wikipedia:Simplified ruleset; and Wikipedia:Simplified Manual of Style. Thank you. Donner60 (talk) 02:55, 27 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
