two entries
I noticed that we now have two link pages for the World Spider Catalog. They both end up at the same destination/URL, but this one is technically the "old" website, while this link entry is the "new": http://bugguide.net/node/view/1017844 (after Dr. Platnick retired, the website host and upkeep was changed from the AMNH to Natural History Museum Bern)

Since Troy's entry is older and probably cited more here at BugGuide, should we keep (and update) his, and then delete the other? It's low on a priority list, just something I noticed because I often cite webpages here the same way I do books. My thinking is that in the event a website URL changes/moves, it's likely someone has left a comment on BugGuide under the reference to point people in the right direction (e.g (1)).

New version 4.5 is available
Includes a new alphabetical list of current genera.

 
currently, Version 11.5
Troy, could you pls add 'by Norman I. Platnick' to the title? thanks. unfortunately, editing anything posted under 'Books' & 'Links' is available to the item contributor only -- i wouldn't have bothered you otherwise... =v=
