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).

The following post is copied and pasted here from User:Snek01's talk page, as it is relevant I think. Invertzoo (talk) 15:27, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can I interest you?

I know nothing about snails but from all your snail-related DYKs, you clearly do! Can I interest you in making an article on Papillifera papillaris? It's been in the UK news recently because a 100+ year old colony have been found at Cliveden, thought to have come to the UK from Italy hitching a lift on some imported architectural stonework. Links here: [1] and here: [2], plus it's been in loads of the UK papers. I thought it was an interesting story but know nothing about molluscs! Stronach (talk) 11:08, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your note. I will try to make it. I will make at least a stub. I will let you know. Meantime you can see at List of non-marine molluscs of Great Britain. --Snek01 (talk) 12:25, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Snek, I just now started a stub for Papillifera papillaris, but it could very much benefit from your attention I think. Thanks, Invertzoo (talk) 15:25, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, you're quick! That's a great article - thank you so much. Isn't Wikipedia a wonderful thing? Stronach (talk) 20:35, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
