Other : * Out of date turtle articles abound, mainly taxonomy issues, get a list here and scroll down for articles.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

The result was merge Megalochelys atlas into Megalochelys. -- Borophagus (talk) 17:12, 27 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

There is certainly not enough information unique to each species to justify splitting each one off. As is standard for extinct creatures in this instance, we should split only to genus level. User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 05:07, 14 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Support I agree. As only one species even has its own article (which has more information than the article for the genus itself!) they should be merged. Borophagus (talk) 14:05, 18 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Reference wrong edit

Hi I tried to remove a duplication of a reference but the bot undid it. The bot is suggesting Chelonian Research Monographs is a book, it is not it is a journal, second the ref is already cited under the authors (reference 1) listing the same ref twice seems overkill, also refs are usually done by author not editor. The ref the bot is tring to add is inorrectly formated. Cheers Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) ^talk 17:47, 17 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
