[edit] 2006 NOAA Press release

In mid-2006, NOAA published a press release in which it stated that it was no longer considering the barndoor skate an "overfished species". I have been unable to locate any information relating to reactions from conservationists and scientists familiar with the species. If anybody can find such reactions, it would be a great addition to the paragraph in the "conservation" section relating to this. Neil916 (Talk) 00:25, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA nomination

I've passed this article for GA. Good work. Only thing I'd suggest is finding a photo of the skate or something. Other then that well written, well referenced, neutral and balanced. - Shudda talk 00:12, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
