Porcupine Abyssal Plain, Oneirophanta mutabilis, Psychropotes longicauda, Amperima rosea
[edit]( Back to T:TDYK )
( Article history links: )
... that sea cucumbers such as Oneirophanta mutabilis, Psychropotes longicauda and Amperima rosea make up about 90% of the megafauna on the seabed of the Porcupine Abyssal Plain?

- All four articles are either new (sea cucumbers) or 5x expanded (Porcupine Abyssal Plain) over last 4 days; they are long enough; they are within the policy (proper citations, neutral). QPQ OK. However, I have a comment on the hook. The hook is a fact about the Porcupine Abyssal Plain, but the current phrasing puts a lot of emphasis on individual species. For these species, the Porcupine Abyssal Plain is just one habitat among many. I suggest phrasing like this (also slightly shorter):
- ALT 1: ... that the megafauna on the seabed of the Porcupine Abyssal Plain is dominated by sea cucumbers such as Oneirophanta mutabilis, Psychropotes longicauda, and Amperima rosea?
- I also suggest including one of the sea cucumber images in the Porcupine article. Micromesistius (talk) 19:39, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
- I am happy with ALT1. I didn't plan to include an image because the P. longicauda one is not very good and I didn't think the one in the bottle was suitable. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:54, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
- OK. I still wonder whether it would be possible to include a map, something similar to the one in Rockall? Micromesistius (talk) 22:30, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
- A map would be nice but I have no idea where to find one. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:04, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
OK now, I made and added a simple map! Micromesistius (talk) 11:51, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- Well thank you, that's most helpful. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:11, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
