Should the siphon link in "The hyponome of cephalopods" section be redirected to siphon (biology)? I don't think the siphon in a cephalopod does the same thing mechanically as a siphon (i.e. "allows liquid to drain from a reservoir through an intermediate point that is higher, or lower, than the reservoir"), does it?

I could swear that it was spelled "mollusk". But maybe its just me...
The result of the move request was: Not moved. Anthony Appleyard makes a good point, and the article's current title agrees with Siphon (insect anatomy).-- Hadal ( talk) 10:54, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Siphon (mollusc anatomy) → Siphon (mollusc) – To be compatible in naming with other related articles: Aperture (mollusc), Apex (mollusc), Callus (mollusc), Ctenidium (mollusc), Diverticula (mollusc), Lira (mollusc), Mantle (mollusc), Sculpture (mollusc), Septum (mollusc), Spire (mollusc), Umbilicus (mollusc), Valve (mollusc), Varix (mollusc) and Whorl (mollusc). It already existed under the name "Siphon (mollusc)". I understand that proposed compatibility with "Siphon (insect anatomy)" is very praiseworthy, but there are also other criteraia such as compatibility with names in the same field than with unrelated field. -- Snek01 ( talk) 17:07, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
Compare:
"Three specimens of Panopea abrupta in a seafood tank; the paired siphons (or "necks") of this species can be one meter long"
Caption for image on this article, and:
"Four live geoducks in a seafood tank"
Caption for same image on the Geoduck article.
Can anyone say which is correct? 77.103.132.143 ( talk) 10:03, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
