- "This comes from a legend about their discovery, involving lonely sailors mistaking them for mermaids." needs citation. Adityavagarwal (talk) 07:33, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
- "Seekoei (sea cow) is also the name for a hippopotamus in Afrikaans." and "In some Germanic languages, see can mean either a body of fresh or salt water, so this follows from the species inhabiting lakes in southern Africa rather than the sea itself." need citation to. Adityavagarwal (talk) 07:33, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
- Hydromalinae should be linked. Adityavagarwal (talk) 07:33, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
- oops, fixed User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 15:18, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
- Dugonginae too should be linked. Adityavagarwal (talk) 07:33, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
- it just links back to dugong so it'd be a duplink User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 15:18, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
- 8 km/h (5.0 mph) or 8 kilometres per hour (5.0 mph), we could have consistency there. Adityavagarwal (talk) 07:33, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
- 8 to 10 t (8.8 to 11.0 short tons) (in the lead) is metric tons right? The "t" makes it look more like tons. Also, we could have consistency with "8 to 10 metric tons (8.8 to 11.0 short tons)"
- Similarly, 8 m (26 ft) and 9 metres (30 ft) (m or metres) could have consistency too. Adityavagarwal (talk) 07:33, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
- Link "snout". Adityavagarwal (talk) 07:33, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
- "virtually endless ..." is it not a bit exaggerated?
Adityavagarwal (talk) 07:33, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
- changed to "infinite" User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 15:18, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
- "brevotoxin..." is it "brevetoxin" instead? Adityavagarwal (talk) 07:33, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
- Do we really need this as an External Link? Adityavagarwal (talk) 07:33, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
- nope, deleted User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 15:18, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
- Current ref 17 needs a page number. Adityavagarwal (talk) 07:33, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
- if it's "The Earliest Known Fully Quadrupedal Sirenian" I think someone beat me to it, it's fixed User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 15:18, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oops, I mean 19. I have fixed it. Adityavagarwal (talk) 16:15, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
