Talk:Geoduck

message: Currently the article gives "GOO-wee-duck" for the pronunciation.  It should be given in IPA as per Wiki Manual of Style.  I'd do it myself but what's "GOO-wee-duck" meant to mean?  I don't see how "GOO-wee-duck" could relate to either gweduck or goiduck. Jimp 06:14, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

message: i tagged up the industry section, i really think whomever added this information really needs to provide links to some of their source material. i am also changing the name of the section back to industry and impact, since much of the content here deals with environmental impact... IMO this name should stay or the topics should be categorized separately. popefauvexxiii 17:07, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

message: There is a difference of opinion as to the necessity of including the descriptor "Profoundly" in the sentence: 
"It is possible that this fact, in conjunction with the profoundly phallic shape of the siphon, has led to the belief that the shellfish has aphrodisiac properties."
While the Geoduck is phallic in shape the descriptor "profoundly is very subjective to each individual, and should not be included

message: I've placed a contradiction tag on these two pages thanks to the conflicting information regarding the largest mollusk in north america.  It seems clear the Conch is smaller, and that they are both mollusks, but I'll leave the solution to someone who knows more for sure to make the needed corrections.

replies: text: if memory serves, the article used to say that the geoduck was the largest species of saltwater clam, which would not contradict anything in the other article. i dont think im the one that wrote it, so im not sure where the source would be. PopeFauveXXIII 23:48, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

message: "The world's first geoduck fishery was created in 1970…": the meaning of this is profoundly unclear. First aquaculture? First regulated fishery? Because the natives of Puget Sound (and the newer arrivals) have been eating these for centuries. - Jmabel | Talk 02:46, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The enormous "Industry" section , which somebody has already flagged for WP:UNDUE, should be moved to the related article Geoduck aquaculture, and replaced by a shorter summary here.  The material appears to be thoroughly researched and footnoted, so It probably shouldn't be deleted outright.  Once the material is added to Geoduck aquaculture, it will need editing and likely some trimming there, but at least it will all be directly relevant to that article.  Comments?

thread_title:  Move some material to [[Geoduck aquaculture]] 

message: I've removed the following sentences.  They are references to non-technical sources referring to scientific evidence that supports the aphrodisiac efficacy of geoduck.  The evidence is very weak, so it seems to lack notability.  The evidence is weak insofar as it's preclinical and not specific to Geoduck.

thread_title:  Biology 

message: Hi! I'm new to Wikipedia and am taking a course at my university. We're looking at how to evaluate articles and I chose this one to look at. 
My biggest feedback and confusion is the organization of the article. I was expecting a section on Biology, physiology, ecology, animal behavior, and maybe a small section on interactions with humans but was surprised to find more about the industry than any specifics about the anatomy of the geoduck. It might be fun to look into what they look like inside and how come they don't have many natural predators (also the parasite bit seemed cool and I would like to know more about other creatures interactions with these geoducks). 
Trivia section could be expanded to songs about geoducks to (it is the first thing to pop up in google). 
Anyway, thank you for letting me stop by and I hope this feedback is useful.
