Talk:List of fishes of Hawaii

Suggestions

Great start, thanks. An obvious suggestion is to list the source(s) please. Also as per theHawaii manual of style, the appostrophes should instead be the {{okina}} template, and Kahakō should be used when appropriate. See the online Hawaiian dictionary for examples. But these are nits. Mahalo W Nowicki (talk) 04:02, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Can i point out that you have somehow confused the leatherback turtle (a reptile) with a fish of the genus Scomberoides (misspelled in the article). You list the name as Scombroides sancti-petri, and it incorrectly redirects to leatherback turtle. Further, Scomberoides sancti-petri is no longer accepted as a valid name, as it is a junior synonym of Scomberoides lysan (the doublespotted queenfish). You may want to recheck your list of scientific names, as i can see a few old and invalid names (eg Trachiurops crumenophthalmus is an invalid synonym of Selar crumenophthalmus) Kare Kare (talk) 00:55, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

No problem. I guess that's what happens when your main source is from '93. Could I possibly bug you to list the outdated names for me? - Drew Smith What I've done 20:42, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Just fixed a few things relating to the Carangidae... by the way you have 2 bigeye scad listings. I don't known the rest of the families off the top of my head though... maybe you could check at Fishbase? Could i also suggest you are missing two important Hawaiian gamefish... the giant trevally and bluefin trevally which are known as ulua in Hawaii. I have a feeling bluefin trevally are also known as omilu or blue ulua. GTs are either white ulua or black ulua and have a different name for juveniles... but be careful because a rarer species, the black jack is also known as the black ulua.

Images

Is there any interest in moving the images into the table? Viriditas (talk) 11:01, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

IMO, no. Most of the fish in the table don't have images, so putting the few that do into the table would look tacky. But I'm open to suggestions though. - Drew Smith What I've done 00:08, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

What percentage of entries lack photos or images? Most lists of this type place the images in the table. I think we can fill the majority of these entries with an image of some kind, but there is no requirement that we must have one. I don't see what is tacky about this. As a reader, I expect to find an image next to the data, not off to the side somewhere on the page. Viriditas (talk) 02:04, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
