Just wanted to say that when anyone finds what is or appears to be an error on WoRMS (or any other online database), please go ahead and send in a little note about the apparent error, that will be appreciated by the people who set it up.
And if you find a real or apparent error on Wikipedia, please leave a note about it on the talk page of the article.
Thanks,
Susan J. Hewitt
