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.

Why split the "as an invasive species" section?

Why split away the "as an invasive species" section into its own independent article? It really belongs here on the species page, which is consistent with most other invasive species. I strongly recommend moving it back.

Also, hey: nice work on the original publication, Dr. Justine. Glad to see that you are updating individual species information in wikipedia. We need more scientists willing to contribute to traditional venues of publication as well as places like wikipedia, because this is where a lot of members of the public receive much of their information.
