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).

New articles

Filling in some binomial authorities and creating some new stubs. These are all works in progress.

Aturiidae Chapman, 1865

Guessing he's this chap: Chapman, Henry Cadwalader

Although publishing his research in many fields of biology and natural science, his speciality was fossil shells. His drawings on stone illustrated much of the American Journal of Conchology.

H. & G. Nevill (from late 1860s to late 1880s)

Brothers Hugh & Geoffrey Nevill. These two crop up a lot. -- Hillbillyholiday ^talk 18:05, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fred Baker

Lots of information, just need to transliterate sources and shape into proper article.

Michael Bielz

Some information, but need to translate from German and Hungarian sources.

Johann Christian Albers

Lots of species described but no real biographical information. -- Hillbillyholiday ^talk 02:14, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

James Hamilton Couper

There's a whole book devoted to Couper, and stacks of plantation records, certainly enough for a decent bio. Little in the way of good material regarding conchology. -- Hillbillyholiday ^talk 06:32, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Elizabeth Gray

Enough for a decent bio here. Needs transliterating and list of her finds/works would be good. -- Hillbillyholiday ^talk 13:28, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Michele and Mario Lessona

I have added a brief new article about Mario Lessona who was the author of a couple of malacological papers on Italian slugs, including the important monograph with Pollonera. When I came to add his name here, I saw that his father Michele Lessona was listed. Michele was a prominent Italian biologist (e.g. translating work of Darwin) and became a senator. But he was a vertebrate man and I am not aware of any work of his on molluscs, so I suspect that his listing here is a confusion with his son (both are M. Lessona). I have removed Michele from the list but please reinstate if I am mistaken Jmchutchinson (talk) 00:17, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have now discovered that Michele Lessona wrote a treatise on Cephalopods, so he does deserve to be included. In fact, it looks like I forgot to take him out anyway! Jmchutchinson (talk) 06:31, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
