We need to pool our information together and build a full datnoid section on wikipedia. Anyone have an account and likes to do this stuff?
 
There's more than enough info in the Dat section, get to work! :)
 
If you guys have a primer that you want me to put up, I've got a username on wiki and I wouldn't mind doing it. Keep in mind that I have no experience with datnoids so I would not be able to proofread for factual errors- only for spelling and grammar.
 
The problem with it is wikipedia is such a popular place for people to research, and people can put whatever they want about a subject, fact or not.

And with fish like Datnoids, their really is so much not known, or only speculated. Such as...

Breeding habits
a sure fire way to ID if a Dat is a wide bar or indo
how endangered are the species in the wild?
is their really any breeding being done in fish farms?
Ect.

And the stuff that is known about them, are almost ignored by most people. a HUGE % of people think they know about dats, but have no clue at all. One example is how LFS constantly mislabel dats, or throw fresh water species in brackish setups.

I think that most the information on wikipedia would be completely wrong which would just lead to more people having wrong information about Datnoids. And I think their really is enough people out their spitting out false statments about them as it is right now.

If something was set up the person would really have to focus on the facts and not put in rumors, or what "they believe" is truth.

Just my thoughts, I guess only time will tell. But I would be glad to money on it, that 6 months after it is put up, it will be filled with crap.
