[edit]
I think this one is good to be associated in the page. Since it is already overcrowded with irrelevant ones, I will just post it here. --βritandβeyonce (talk•contribs)
Removal of "largest stingray" section
[edit]I have removed the following section: Perhaps the largest stingray ever found weighed almost 1500 kilograms (3300 pounds) and measured over 5 meters (16.5 feet) in width . It was caught by fishermen near Hainan Sanya in China."Giant 3,300 Lbs Stingray Caught by Local Fisherman." Weird Asia News 04 Aug. 2008. 26 Feb. 2009 <http://www.weirdasianews.com/2008/08/11/giant-3300-lbs-stingray-caught-by-local-fisherman/> The sourced article does not list a species and the ray in the article looks just like a manta ray which to my knowledge is the only species to approach such a size.
Manta rays are not stingrays
[edit]I noticed that there is a photo of a manta ray included in this Wiki. Manta rays are not stingrays due to the fact that they lack a barb, therefore they are unable to sting. Manta rays are simply just rays. Manta rays are in the family Mobulidae, unlike stingrays. Ashleopold (talk) 16:13, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
No link to mobulidae in the infobox on the right.
[edit]I assume because it was once covered under mylobatidae, but now it's a distinct article, it should be included. Aristaeusapiculturist (talk) 11:03, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

How do we merge already existing Croatian article?
[edit]When I opt for Croatian it sends me to translate article but then I have found one already existing and it's a good one: https://hr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morski_golubovi Pražgetina (talk) 08:14, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
