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.

Citing for Micromollusks

Hi, I am a relatively new editor on Wikipedia but I have been active on Wikisource for about 4 years so forgive me if I don't entirely get the Wikipedia culture. This page (Micromollusk) is marked as needing citations, however, it cites the foremost paper on the subject talking about how to handle and process micromollusks. I am doing research on micromollusks for a class and thought I could lend some citations. I have been combing through the literature for this class already and while there isn't a lot of papers on the subject, this paper "Techniques for collecting, handling, preparing, storing and examining small molluscan specimens" which can be found here [1]https://www.researchgate.net/publication/288605135_Techniques_for_collecting_handling_preparing_storing_and_examining_small_molluscan_specimens, collects all of the techniques tried and whether or not they worked by the top scientists in this field; Daniel L. Geiger, Bruce A. Marshall, Winston F. Ponder, Takenoru Sasaki & Anders Warén. So, I feel that much of this Wikepedia page can actually be referenced to this paper. I added a citation to a claim that was present in Geiger et al 2007 as well as other papers but I am unsure whether or not other people feel like more citations are needed.

TLDR: Should I add more citations to this paper to substantiate claims that are already covered by sources in the Further Reading section? Seperation (talk) 06:33, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
