Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005 Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). If you need help with any aspect of an article, please leave a note at the Project talk page.

5x expanded by Cwmhiraeth (talk). Self-nominated at 09:24, 28 July 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Article expanded from ~140 to ~2000 characters on 23/24 July, so it's new and long enough. Well sourced, copyvio unlikely according to Earwig's tool. QPQ done. Some questions, though:

I think the title should either be Umbraculum umbraculum, or it shouldn't be italicised. Is that right?
Any reason for the German subtitle of the last image in the gallery?
The hook source seems to say that the specimens were found between 2011 and 2014; the publication year is 2016.
The main hook could be thought to mean that the species was discovered in 2016 IMO; and the second doesn't make clear that it is the Bay of Biscay that is tropicalizing, not the slug (which would be somewhat illogical). Can you think of a better phrasing?

@Anypodetos: Good points! I have tweaked the article, amended ALT0, struck out ALT1 and suggested ALT2. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:30, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for addressing this. I think ALT2 is clearer, but I'd be fine with the first hook as well. Good to go, and thanks for the interesting read! --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 13:35, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Cwmhiraeth: the article doesn't mention first reported in 2016. Yoninah (talk) 18:28, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: It does now, in a very inelegant sentence. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:59, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever works, I guess. Restoring tick per Anypodetos' review. Yoninah (talk) 19:04, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
