thread_title:  Conflicting dates 

message: The article contradicts itself multiple times on whether he is dead or alive. Most (but not all) of it describes him in the present tense.

Talk:Eric Maschwitz

message: Under "Life And Work", the song's music is credited to Manning Sherwin and Jack Strachey, but the entry for 
A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square credits the music to Manning Sherwin alone, as does the Sonny Rollins CD "Without A Song: The 9/11 Concert" (which is what got me looking this up in the first place).
If there's no disagreement, I can edit this. (I believe I have an account, but I haven't used it yet -- this would be my first edit). 99.24.203.182 (talk) 16:52, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

message: Here says:  Born in Edgbaston, Birmingham, England, and descendant of a traditional German family,
But Spartacus ( a vaguely communist site ) says: Eric Maschwitz, the son of a Lithuanian Jew, was born in Edgbaston, Birmingham, on 10th June 1901.
Now, the elder Maschwitz in Lithuania could have descended from a German family; on the other hand, he may have been descended from Lithuanians, or even have come from Germany.  Be nice if someone who knew could clear this up.

I tried to link a short video that clearly shows both the free swimming and 'jet propulsion' movement of a frogfish. I inserted the link after the word 'propulsion' in the movement section of the article. This link is to a movie I made myself and it is hosted by youtube. I am a avid diver and do all underwater filming myself. A wiki bot removed the link shortly after I had placed it, though I own full copyright. Should I undo the action or not? I think the movie is appropiate (I have read the guidelines about linking youtube movies).Charlesleflamand (talk) 04:13, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Leftvent

message: This is a good article.  However, I must take issue with some of the language in which it is written.  I have a rich background in life sciences, an enormous vocabulary, and no belief in false modesty;  it's a rare distinction when an article sends me running to the dictionary.  I can only imagine how someone with less life-sciences background might feel.
So, some linguistic comments.  I've corrected many of the issues, but there are some points I must mention:
:: Sessile bioluminescent organs are also present on the branches of this barbel.
It may be true that sessile bioluminescent organisms are present, but if what is meant is organs then we are looking for another word than sessile -- only I'm not quite clear on what it is.  
:: short and stout denticular teeth are also present.
I must confess I do not quite know whether the word denticular means something else in ichthyology, but I have enough Latin to know that denticular translates to having the form of, or somehow related to, teeth. "Teeth-like teeth", then?  We could use an explanation here for our non-Latin-speaking readers, and an explanation for the apparent contradiction with the previous sentence, which states clearly that in most species jaw teeth are absent.  Are denticular teeth, then, not located in the jaw?
:: The dorsal fin and anal fin are of roughly equal size, both positioned far back from the head, and retrorse.
Retrorse?  What is retrorse?  Please explain this word for our readers or use a synonym they can understand.
::Females possess strong sphenotic and preopercle spines
A description of what sphenotic and preopercle mean would be handy, and while you're at it something to clarify whether strong means large or possessed of tensile strength would be helpful as well.

message: Wikipedia has chosen "Flathead mullet" as the primary name for the species Mugil Cephalus, although it does not list "Flathead mullet" as the common name for this fish anywhere world wide. While a good description for the fish I feel it should appear under the name "striped mullet, which is its common name in America. 
In addition, the article should mention the presence of a muscular gizzard which these fish use to process the bottom mud on which they feed. 
I have modified the article on Silver mullet, which mentions it in passing, to identify Striped mullet as mugil cephalus. Don 19:22, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
