Talk:Cherax

message: Much of the content of this article looks as if it may be copyvio, but not properly cited, and in addition most of it seems to describe one species rather than the whole genus. A new article could be created for this species and the relevant material cut and pasted there, or perhaps it should just be deleted for now? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 08:24, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Can you please give some more information on your suspicions? If it's true, there is a specific process that should be gone through. I don't want to Class=Start that process myself right now, because I don't know where the article might have been copied from. I've taken a look using Earwig's Copyvio Detector, but it doesn't turn anything up—the top hit is clearly copied from Wikipedia, the second-top hit is the Penn State article that's cited at the bottom of the page, and nothing else I saw matches anything of relevance. -- Perey (talk) 06:57, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi , it's been a while and I'll have to come back to this, but I think it was just the tone of the language and the lack of citations that struck me as I hit the article in passing. Now that I examine a few of the citations, I think that it is beset with a different set of issues. That Penn State article doesn't mention Cherax, and is a very general article. The Journal of Zoology article about choice of mate only mentions one cherax species in passing, and does not support the content. The BMC Biology article is a general one about crayfish, no mention of cherax. As mentioned above, a lot of the content refers only to C. Dispar, and should probably be moved into a new article. I might get back to this one day. Thanks for doing the copyvio check - probably not worth following up on in that case. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 02:10, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
