Disambiguation page?

There are two different species of urchin with the same common name "slate pencil urchin", Eucidaris tribuloides and Heterocentrotus mammillatus. I think the current content of this "Slate pencil urchin" page should be moved to "Eucidaris tribuloides" (currently a redirect page), and this page should become a disambiguation page pointing to the two different species.

I don't think there ought to be much controversy about this proposal, but I honestly don't know the technical means to achieve it. Scott Roy Atwood (talk) 20:33, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Further research has turned up yet another distinct species known by the common name "slate pencil urchin", Heterocentrotus trigonarius. Scott Roy Atwood (talk) 18:52, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps this page should be renamed as "Slate pencil urchin (Atlantic)". Scott Roy Atwood (talk) 18:54, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have performed the moves and created this page as a disambiguation page. I think each of the three separate urchin species pages should probably be updated to point to this disambiguation page now. Scott Roy Atwood (talk) 19:06, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File:Eucidaris tribuloides (Slate-pencil Urchin).jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Eucidaris tribuloides (Slate-pencil Urchin).jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on July 19, 2012. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2012-07-19. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! —howcheng {chat} 18:02, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

The slate pencil urchin (Eucidaris tribuloides) is a species of sea urchin that inhabits littoral regions of the Atlantic Ocean. It is a nocturnal bottom-dweller: during daylight hours, the slate pencil urchin uses its large primary spines to anchor itself under or atop rocks or to lodge itself in crevices.Photo: Nick Hobgood

Lede

The lede must be rewritten. When I wikilinked enigmatic words "cidaroid" and "echinoid", it became evident that the text is quite tautological. --Altenmann >talk 18:56, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
