Talk:Sabertooth fish

A fact from Sabertooth fish appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 13 February 2005. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the poorly studied Evermannellidae family, or Sabertooth fish, have oversized, inward curving teeth suggestive of the sabertooth cats' teeth?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2005/February.

Needs work

Eh, too bad they aren't studied much; it sounds like a great fish to study. Does anyone have some info to add on what the benefits are of not having scales? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.79.186.10 (talk) 14:22, 27 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Peer Review

Just to be consistent with the formatting I would take out the "with" in the parenthesis specifying the dorsal fin rays. I like the addition of the hyperlinks for terms such as "pectoral fins" and "spineless". Since the mesopelagic zone is 200m-1000m and the zones mentioned for the larvae is 50m-100m, I would change the wording of that sentence. Overall, the edits were great in specifying existing information on the page and hyperlinking certain terms to reduce confusion. Aliceli23 (talk) 13:19, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good, thank you for the peer review! Cp31201 (talk) 18:41, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review

I assigned myself the Sabertooth fish article for peer review and looked at the two versions the group working on this page created. The additions to the article were insightful and helpful toward a better understanding of the organism. Also, hyperlinking words that were not previously hyperlinked helps readers to better understand the text without requiring specific knowledge about the deep sea or, specifically, the sabertooth fish. I would suggest trying to find articles that can support the contributions to this page, such as citing an article that states similar findings to the range of depths in which sabertooth larvae and adults live. I suggest trying and finding more sources to add to the page, but overall all the additions look great. ZachRumley (talk) 17:57, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Adding to this peer review, I think the additions made are well thought out and organized. If there is any change I would make, I would say to add more specific information from the sources the group found. For example, when talking about the difference in anal fin ray counts, I would give specific numbers/ranges for each ocean mentioned. The edits to the description about the anatomy of the Sabertooth was particularly well done. Kgb dsb (talk) 18:11, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
