Contradiction with Red Knot

Someone, please edit both entries: they seem at odds with each other. The entry here contradicts to Wikipedia's entry about Red Knots: "In Delaware, a two-year ban on the harvesting of horseshoe crabs was enacted but struck down by a judge who cited insufficient evidence that the ban would help restore the Red Knot's numbers to justify the potential disruption to the fishing industry." But entry in this article claims that ban still exists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PeterDepeche (talk • contribs) 04:04, 14 March 2011

What do they eat?

There is nothing in the article about what they eat. I think this is quite relevant. Are they omnivores, carnivores or herbivores? I don't know, the article doesn't tell. Codegrinder (talk) 12:41, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And what eats them?

This is an oddly skimpy article for Wikipedia.

class?

there's no class marked in the infobox taxonomy section. is this deliberate, due to the classificatory uncertainty? shouldn't it say something like "class: debated?" 2601:642:C481:4640:200F:6F46:442:B254 (talk) 07:36, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
