 * I added the Finnish section on Apr. 8 2014 when I was working on the letter "C" of the Finnish index. This word was and still is on the list as a Finnish word and I assumed it had been checked by the normally very reliable User:Jyril who had added it to the index on 12:49, 14 February 2007. However, when I now check Google, I find only scant usage on the discussion pages of reptile enthusiasts which probably cannot be regarded as durably archived. The scantness of usage comes as no surprise as such, as the chuckwallas are quite exotic critters from our perspective. All in all, one might come to the conclusion that this word is poorly attested as a Finnish word. On the other hand, I encountered no other word that would have been used of the Sauromalus lizards in Finnish. I leave it for the community to decide the future of this entry. --Hekaheka (talk) 22:50, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
 * European Union legislation mentions Sauromalius varius on the list of species to which special trade restrictions are applied. The English version of the text uses the common name "San Esteban Island chuckwalla" of this species whereas the Finnish version uses "Sauromalus varius -lisko". --Hekaheka (talk) 04:25, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
