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.

Requested move 02 March 2014

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved to peculator (gastropod). For now, I'm keeping the redirect pointing to that article to avoid breaking links. (non-admin closure) Hot Stop talk-contribs 06:33, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Peculator → Peculator (genus) – The primary topic of "peculator" is embezzler, so this should redirect to embezzlement. google, google books, google scholar, google case law -- 70.50.151.11 (talk) 08:56, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support: I agree with move to Peculator (gastropod), as this is the way we name in our project the names with different meanings. JoJan (talk) 14:36, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I have no problem with that "(gastropod)", I am the nominator. -- 70.50.151.11 (talk) 01:20, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support. From a Google Scholar search the criminal usage seems to be most used, although there is at least one ship with the same name. --Animalparty-- (talk) 23:35, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 23:14, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- And this is not a dictionary request either, unless you consider the target article to be a dictionary entry; In which case, feel free to nominate embezzlement for deletion. Are you going to delete most redirects on Wikipedia or something? Most redirects are for synonyms. -- 70.50.151.11 (talk) 01:20, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I have no problem with this being moved to Peculator (gastropod); this move seems perfectly reasonable to me. Invertzoo (talk) 11:28, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
