Hi, I came by to promote this, but I'm having difficulty locating the hook fact in the sources. Could you provide page numbers for ALT0 and ALT1 please? Yoninah (talk) 22:39, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what you mean about page numbers. I have added an extra citation for the maternal care, but the silk glands in the legs is mentioned in several places, some with citations. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:09, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Cwmhiraeth: there is only one citation for the ALT0 hook fact. It tells me the fact is somewhere on pages 15-27. Could you point me to the exact page number for this fact? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:09, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: I'm not sure which sentence you were looking at, but I have rearranged the third paragraph of the "Description" section, so the fact is well-cited there. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:53, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you. I think I was getting stuck on the first paragraph under "Name and etymology" and not scrolling down to see more description and sourcing. Restoring tick per Ergo Sum's review. Yoninah (talk) 20:16, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
