Talk:Cephalopod size

message: I'm uncertain on wiki policy, but it would be somewhat helpful to have those citations turned into superscript foot/endnotes, with the citations moved to the end.   EasterlyIrk (talk) 20:12, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

message: Wasn't a giant octopus beached in the USA in 1865? It was photoed and the ball of its body was larger than 2 meters in diameter. Its arms were over 28 meters long estimated and the entire spread of such animal was estimated at 60 meters! That one colossus is not mentioned in the article at all! 193.226.227.153 23:30, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Most sources simply repeat the same claims. None of these monster squid have been scientifically documented. There are no photographs of 18 m long giant squid. The new colossal squid specimen is well within the estimated maximum size of this species (which has been included on this page months prior to this new discovery).

message: Tables should make things easier to compare. Is there a reason behind writing 0.69 m, 60 cm, and 500 mm, all in the same column? Otherwise, someone should (and I will if I have time one of these days) clean up the measurement units in the tables.  Shingra 15:43, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I see, I had missed that note. Well, those tables look strange to me anyway - is there a precedent or guideline for keeping units like that? Shingra 18:20, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I just want to toss this out there before I do any editing.  I feel there should be an expanded explanation on the controversy between  E. dofleini and  H. atlanticus  as the largest octopus.  The explanation currently on several pages stating that the Seven-armed octopus is the largest "based on scientific records" is ambiguous and slightly misleading (there is a bit more explanation on the GPO page).  There is disagreement among cephalopod researchers.  I feel it would be useful to lay out a small paragraph detailing what the records actually are, and why there is disagreement, and link related pages, such as the Seven-arm octopus and the North Pacific Giant Octopus pages to that.  My question to those monitoring these pages would be: Is the Ceph Size page the appropriate place for such a paragraph.  Taollan82 (talk) 22:53, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
