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Other : * Out of date turtle articles abound, mainly taxonomy issues, get a list here and scroll down for articles.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.

Obsolete genus edit

Latest comment: 10 years ago5 comments3 people in discussion

I believe this genus is now obsolete, having been merged into Pangshura. Members should be reclassified. Bruinfan12 (talk) 10:09, 15 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

For clarity all members went to Batagur, none went to Pangshura. Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 22:48, 29 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Some members may still remain. Bruinfan12 (talk) 10:25, 15 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

None since 2008. http://www.iucn-tftsg.org/wp-content/uploads/file/Accounts/crm_5_000_checklist_v1_2008.pdf Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 22:48, 29 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

None remain in the genus. However, while some were moved to Batagur, others were moved to Pangshura earlier. Until the mid-90s (and as a consequence still in much of the available literature), "Kachuga" included all the "roofed turtles". See e.g. Ernst and Barbour's standard work Turtles of the World (1992). RN1970 (talk) 19:33, 12 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
