Review (criteria)	Support Another Sao Tome visitor! Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:59, 31 March 2022 (UTC)  Comment Another really good image. Scope could use "- upper side" at the end of the scope to differentiate from the bottom. A Oreaster clavatus is referred to as a species of star fish. Is "Star fish" the vernacular name? (I really don't know - it may not have a distinct vernacular name.) --GRDN711 (talk) 05:40, 1 April 2022 (UTC)  Comment Don't need dorsal for a star fish. Archaeodontosaurus doesn't like vague English terms like star fish or sphinx moth so I've using them if there is no distinct vernacular name. You do need to be careful. I have an insect field guide where the author invented his own vernacular names. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:47, 1 April 2022 (UTC) Yes, this species does not have a common name as it is seldom seen (that's why this album from Sao Tome is so important, retrieving many species that were previously never illustrated here or even on the whole web). But as this species has a very well-known sister-species in the Caribbean, I crafted a plausible name from it. FredD (talk) 15:09, 1 April 2022 (UTC)  Oppose No you can't make up a name. Temporary oppose.

FredD (talk) 07:34, 3 April 2022 (UTC)  Support with improved scope formatting. Useful and used. --GRDN711 (talk) 16:00, 3 April 2022 (UTC) Result: 3 support, 0 oppose => promoted.
