We could possibly replace the notes column with size in weight in standard and maybe later in metric
I tooks like it's been changed to "Description". I prefer "Notes" because it allows a broader range of content in the column. Any objections to changing it to "Notes"?

@
Elmidae and
Hyperik: Hope I'm doing this pinging stuff correctly. After figuring out who was responsible for screwing up
List of invasive species in Florida, I checked out what else this guy was up to. The serious parts of Wikipedia, you know, the DragonBall Z guys, already got rid of him after a run in 2018, but his science edits, where reality is considered more malleable and subjective, have managed to remain under the radar. I really can't figure out if he was taking the piss, just didn't understand things, or actually seriously believed that Florida was being over-run by electric eels, invasive cocaine plants, pygmy hippos and endangered palms from Madagascar -he spent 6 months adding nonsense to the same few Florida lists every few days.
@
Leo Breman: Urgh. Based on them being the same person who populated Florida with mandrills and birds of paradise, and that four of five spot samples I just took of the fish were Indo-pacific endemics with no recorded introduced populations (#5 was a reasonable tunny) - I think one would be well justified in rolling the article back to before they started adding material. It can't be everybody else's responsibility to sift through mountains of crap for the odd nugget. I'd support a radical revert. (sorry, not active much these past weeks, going to ramp it up again shortly) --Elmidae (

Yeah, a couple of his additions were fine, but most isn't and barely anything is sourced -he added a reference to the mainpage of FishBase. Vetting is really a lot of work: take
Alewife for instance -it is often sold in tins as baitfish in Florida, but I can't easily tell if it occurs in the state outside of tackle stores -it's probably too warm there. The same behaviour on DragonBall pages got him banned. It makes more sense to just revert to before this guy started, sometime around March/April 2018 I think. It's tricky because he didn't always sign in and edited for long stretches with what I think is a mobile phone IP (which changes). He may also have signed in as someone else in 2017... I plain don't get why someone would do this! I gather you have the power to do a "hard revert", so you'll have to do it.
