"It has been found in deposits from the Cambrian age (Atdabanian epoch) of Sweden and Poland," an age in geology is very different from a period, and later you say which species was found in Sweden and Poland, so you don't have to say here, "Sweden and Poland"User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 01:26, 20 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
Both done. SuperΨDro 22:13, 20 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
Did you make the size comparisons with Arthropleura and Jaekelopterus because they were all contemporaneous? You should probably say, "Many contemporaneous other arthropods reached much greater lengths," or, "Many other arthropods of the time reached much greater lengths"User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 01:26, 20 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
No, they lived in different periods. Should I add that Arthropleura and Jaekelopterus were not contemporaneous with it or mention other Cambrian arthropods?
Sorry, I glanced at Arthropleura and read it as Anomalocaris, but why exactly are those two used for comparison? User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 01:39, 21 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
To show how great the arthropods can become. SuperΨDro 15:27, 21 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
I think it would make more sense to compare it to the arthropods of the time. You wouldn’t say a Komodo dragon is a small reptile in comparison to a T. rex User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 16:33, 21 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
I will search more about this. SuperΨDro 09:24, 22 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
Added Anomalocaris. SuperΨDro 10:51, 23 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
Now when you say, “Strabops thacheri exceeded this...” it sounds like you’re comparing Strabops to Anomalocaris User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 21:28, 23 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
I rewrote the sentence. SuperΨDro 22:14, 23 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
”making Paleomerus the median genus of the Strabopida order,” doesn’t have a ref and you could just say earlier that Paleomerus is average sized for the order or something along the lines User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 21:28, 23 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
I used the reference that determines the size of P. hamiltoni. I do not know where to put the "average sized". SuperΨDro 22:14, 23 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
The ref doesn’t work considering it’s from 1957 and Parapaleomerus was discovered in 1999, and I don’t think it’s entirely necessary to say that it’s the median genus User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 03:13, 24 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
I'm sorry for the delay I'm causing. I have specified that Parapaleomerus was the smallest strabopid. It's okay like that now? SuperΨDro 21:11, 24 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
If P. makowskii is 7 cm, how is Parapaleomerus the smallest of the family at 9 cm? User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 21:38, 24 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
It was the smallest genus since P. hamiltoni surpassed Parapaleomerus. SuperΨDro 08:33, 25 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
Then you probably shouldn’t keep it because I feel that’s not how this size thing works User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 21:40, 26 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
I have rewritten the sentence so that the size of other strabopids is still mentioned. SuperΨDro 19:44, 27 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
Instead of saying, "Paleomerus is the most diverse strabopid genus, with two species described, one more than the rest of the strabopids," you could say, "Paleomerus has two species described, more than the rest of the strabopids," or something a little more conciseUser:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 02:10, 21 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
"being the left eye the only preserved," I think it should be, "the left eye being the only preserved"User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 02:10, 21 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
Replaced.
"although the most accepted classification at the moment is that of aglaspidid-like arthropods," most accepted compared to what? User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 02:10, 21 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
To the interpretation of strabopids as real aglaspidids. Should I say this in the text?
I don’t know what that means. Like Strabopidae is the most valid taxon in the class Aglaspidida? User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 16:33, 21 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
It's okay like that? SuperΨDro 10:51, 23 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
You might wanna specify after the comma that you’re still talking about Strabopidae, but you don’t have to User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 21:28, 23 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
When you list how Paleomerus is like other strabopids, you probably shouldn't separate the items with periodsUser:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 02:10, 21 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
