Hi Jim. Idioms like these are welcome. A short translation leading is best, followed if necessary by a contextual comment in parentheses or an "[expl]" gloss.

Hi James, I would love to see more idiom entry suggestions from you (though I'm most likely not the person who will spend time vetting them). 
Also I agree us editors can be a little hostile to imperfectly sourced/formatted entry suggestions sometimes, which I think is unfortunate, but I do 
hope it doesn't put you or others off from contributing to the project.

Hi.  It's been a while, but as I recall, the problem was not "too many" fish names, it was that they were submitted in a style that was inconsistent with our regular practice.  i.e., IIRC, all possible names for a fish were submitted as a single entry, even if they had different etymological origins.  (e.g., Katakana from English was merged together with names that were clearly Japanese in origin.)  I also would not characterize a disagreement as an "attack".

For this entry, I'm not sure how best to clarify that it means wrinkles as opposed to literal crow's feet.  It could be handled as an expl gloss, or as parenthesized info.

Idioms might be a rich hunting ground for additions to the dictionary, but I hesitate to do anything after being attacked for entering "too many" fish names.
