I'm confused -- should it be Western Pond Turtle (as written in the article) or Western pond turtle (as shown by the article name)? — Yurei-egg tart 06:01, 4 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

It definitely should be 'Western Pond Turtle' as that is it's full common name... it would silly if the common name was just 'Western' XD. I'm going to go ahead and support someone with priveleges to do so to change the article name. ~Fwiffo (128.223.224.118 (talk) 20:35, 26 June 2008 (UTC))Reply

Interesting that they are rare in Eugene area, I saw quite a few today during an early warm spell. Is there a source for data on their estimated populations? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.20.14.125 (talk) 05:37, 10 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
