citations?[edit]

Can you cite any references that refer to the last three on the list on the dab fish as "salamanderfish", much less show that the first is not primary usage of that name? Thanks. --Born2cycle (talk) 06:40, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. From Talk:Lepidogalaxias salamandroides: [1][2][3] -Una Smith (talk) 06:43, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I followed your links and could not find the term using the search function in Google Books for each book, which is where your links take us.
However everyone seems to be conveniently ignoring the references I posted in the original Salamanderfish page, particularly:
* Allan, Midgley & Allen , Field Guide to the Freshwater Fishes of Australia, Museum of Western Australia, Perth Western Australia, 2002, ISBN 0 7307 4586 3 Parameter error in {{ISBN}}: checksum, p.119
* Allen, 1989, Freshwater Fish of Australia, T.F.H. Publications, Neptune City N.J., 1989, ISBN 0 86622 939 1 Parameter error in {{ISBN}}: checksum, p.32
* Merrick & Schmida, Australian Freshwater Fishes, Griffin Press Ltd, 1984, ISBN 0 9591908 0 5, p.79
I am happy for this dab page to remain, provided that some appropriate and reliable references for the other uses of the name are provided - and that those uses really are common names and not obscure references. Nick Thorne ^talk 10:49, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The first book is an English translation of a very notable book by Ernst Haeckel; see page 289. I added it as a cite on lungfish. --Una Smith (talk) 16:37, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
