Spot Croaker or Spot

Does it matter which common name you use in the article as long as you are consistent? I see it is referred to as the Spot croaker, yet the article references Spot. I'm uncertain of the convention here when there are two accepted common names.--JimmyButler (talk) 23:47, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Spot may just be a shortened version of the name, and used as spot in the article because ites easier (possibly). Hard to say, as long as it makes sense i htink its ok.P0PP4B34R732 (talk) 23:53, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Copy Paste .... seriously?

Predators such as striped bass, weakfish, summer flounder, bluefish, and sharks eat them in turn. Taken directly from the source without benefit of quotations. There are other incidences which are lifted with little or no modification from the original text. The copy / paste button is a guarantee fail for GA. The beauty of a stub, there is so little content, it is easy to correct the errors of those that went before. In this case July 22 2009. Clean up what's there before it gets buried and you get the blame! --JimmyButler (talk) 01:10, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for catching that bit of plagiarism in the article. I just fixed it. Dmanrulz180 (talk) 02:31, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Stub I created

Croaking mechanism of Sciaenidae is a stub that i created to link to from this article. Any and all positive edits or reviews are appreciated Dmanrulz180 (talk) 04:02, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I like the stub; however, it might be a good idea to expand the croaking section on this article to specify why this fish croaks... is it for mating?--JimmyButler (talk) 04:30, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Would not the gulf of mexico be cap?--JimmyButler (talk) 04:33, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalization

Why is "Spot croaker" capitalized in the title of the article, yet in the body of article it is lower case?--Haydenowensrulz (talk) 03:44, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
