- Articles in which this image appears
- Loliginidae, Cephalopod, bioluminescence
- FP category for this image
- Animals/Molluscs
- Creator

- Comment: I'm not convinced about the EV here. The species does not seem to have been identified with certainty, and it's just another image in the family article. While it does lead the other article, I'm a little dubious about any kind of "automatic" EV for leading an article on such a high taxonomic rank- there are so many pictures that could lead, and would a collage not be better?

- I was told that it can't be any other species, based on the geographical location. [1] Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 16:43, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, that's right (see here). But where did the caption come from?! This species has nothing to do with bigfin squid. mgiganteus1 (talk) 16:57, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
- Then I would be far more inclined to support if we had an article on the species. I'll write one myself (if I can find any sources) in the next few days. J Milburn (talk) 21:20, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
- We do have an article on the species: Bigfin reef squid. mgiganteus1 (talk) 21:31, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

- Support Nice --Citron (talk) 22:27, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
- Support: Squid are pretty cool, anyway, but seeing into the mouth of a glow in the dark one peering at you from the deep is even better. EV for the tentacles, mouth, and bioluminescence is good. Maedin\talk 06:42, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
- Support Very good. --Priest zadok (talk) 10:34, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
