Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Copyedit : Green sea turtle!
Expand : Emydidae, Tortoise, Spotted turtle, Glyptemys
Photo : Find a photo of turtle articles needing a photo
Stubs : Expand a stub article.
Update : Emydidae, Tortoise
Other : * Out of date turtle articles abound, mainly taxonomy issues, get a list here and scroll down for articles. Taxonomy information is available in WikiProject Turtles resources.
- {{Extinct turtles}} and fossil forms of both living and extinct turtles requires attention:many extinct articles require either expansion or creation and sources seems hard to come by. A list of fossil forms is being compiled so progress can be charted.
- Patrol: recent changes to turtle articles and check for improvements or errors.

I don't know wether this is relevant, but we lived in southern France in a rural town about an hour's drive away from Toulouse, and we had these in a lake near us. Might it be worth putting that in? 90.193.90.236 (talk) 04:04, 29 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Caspian turtle (Mauremys caspica) article fails to recognize western Caspian turtle (Mauremys rivulata) as a separate species edit

Latest comment: 4 months ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Judging from the dates of the references, the western Caspian turtle, treated as M. c. rivulata here, is now considered to be its own species Mauremys rivulata, which has its own separate article: Balkan terrapin. The two paragraphs in the Caspian turtle article that mention M. c. rivulata should probably be edited to reflect this. All images in the Caspian turtle article appear to be of Mauremys rivulata based on their locations and should probably be replaced. I heard you like clades (talk) 23:03, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

I went ahead and made the relevant edits, but the page could now use some pictures. I heard you like clades (talk) 23:33, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
