Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005 Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). If you need help with any aspect of an article, please leave a note at the Project talk page.

Should Apogastropoda be listed as a subclass of Gastropoda? Gastropoda articles claims only four subclasses [1]. Are there five or more? I know nothing about this. I just made the Apogastropoda article because there was high demand for it. Please advise. Thanks.

This article does not correctly reflect the paper of Ponder & Lindberg (1997). They do not use Linnean ranks for their groups. The assignment of Linnean ranks to the groups treated by Ponder & Lindberg is pure speculation. -- Engeser (talk) 18:50, 4 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
Yes, you are right. I tried to quickly correct it like this: [2]. --Snek01 (talk) 20:57, 4 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
