Am rewriting from scratch, due to following exchange on pages needing attention:

Asterias - writing needs cleanup. Also several facts are dubious --- e.g., artice claims Asterias have radial symmetry, whereas starfish claims the radial symmetry is only apparent. Also, needs taxobox etc. k.lee 22:33, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Is there really any reason for Asterias to be a separate page? According to this the asterias rubens is the common starfish. Besides, it looks like the article contents were just copied from elsewhere (with URLs even provided). -- Wapcaplet 03:57, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

FYI, it was a copyvio, from http://archive.chesapeakebay.net/info/atlantic_seastar.cfm. The same editor copied text into several articles. Will Beback talk 08:16, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
