My request is to change the fact that paleontology is only related to mermaids, as it is truly the study of fish. Also, Henry Fartfield was NOT the director of the museum of natural history, and during that time, it was Shawn Levy. ThunderLunchbox (talk) 13:51, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
Not done I will make the following points:
You need to be more specific in your requests, e.g. something like, in section "X" change "Y" to "Z".
Nowhere does it say that "paleontology is only related to mermaids". It only mentions paleontology with respect to mermaids, but that is because the article is about mermaids; it is not implying that is the only thing they study.
I can find no reference to Henry Fairfield in the article.
Some of those images are fluffy, for example the shark tail mermaid with the imaginary killing rate of 1000 a year. The current image does show the iron breasted mermaid, which is close, but perhaps a green tail mermaid would be more familiar to most readers. FunkMonk (talk) 19:14, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
Changed to triton. Are there any other problems? I think the water world/orange finned mermaid part could be exchanged for a single image. Kiwi Rex (talk) 13:33, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
I think we need to stop trying to replace the montage every year. The current one is fine, perhaps replace the siren with another more recognizable clown fish mermaid, and/or the mermen with an archie, and I wouldn't change anything else. IJReid 16:21, 6 October 2019.(UTC)
"Timeline of notable mermaid taxonomic descriptions"
I think this timeline is quite strange: it includes both well-known and thoroughly-described taxa and useless, dubious taxa. How are we judging notability? Do we even need this? Lythronaxargestes (talk | contribs) 23:50, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
Agree, so we'll get the Misplaced Pages time-machine out of Larry Sanger's basement (he took it and the stapler when he left) and rev it up for Jurassic. But seriously, good idea, although some of the good film stills may be in copyright. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:56, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

Declined - Misplaced Pages is not for facts that are just "fun". It needs to have proper, accurate information. MadGuy7023 (talk) 18:40, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
