Families

all families articles created.

- Doing... (in progress by User:Snek01) checking that taxonomy for families is up to date; adding subfamilies or text that there are no subfamilies; adding authority; adding synonyms. What is done: User:Snek01/Taxonomy

- Doing... (will be in progress when previous task is completed) add type genus; add authority reference.
- The next task will be to add an image for every family (and also a link to Commons for every family)

Ensure all articles between Family and Genus rank are taxonomically consistent

- Frenchwiki need to translate Cyclophoridae into English.

Species

(in progress)

Create articles for all Species and for needed Genera. Many species, however, are virtually undescribed. It is better, then, to describe the Genus or, if necessary, just the Family.

If there is an image of the species available then make an article (or start a stub) about the species.

Threatened species

Add information to certain species articles about the species' local conservation status, according to the local Red List.

Species from IUCN

Stale

Were though to be probably already resolved by bots according to the 2007 IUCN Red List, but some species like those in Sierraia (4 species, Year Assessed 2006) are not in wikipedia today (23 March 2010).

add all species from 2010 IUCN Red List:

Chinese snail species are too rich,but in wiki is too poor .They are needed to be translated into English from http://site.douban.com/245727/ .And the snails' problems should be talked in groups.

Canada

Completed by Snek01 (talk) 22:24, 30 September 2008 (UTC) Species articles with its status in Canada. Species of gastropods (and all molluscs) assessed by COSEWIC, then they the Canadian Species at Risk Act listed them in the List of Wildlife Species at Risk (not written in the wikipedia list yet). According COSEWIC. 2005. Canadian Species at Risk. Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada. 64 pp.[reply]
