Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Copyedit : Green sea turtle!
Expand : Emydidae, Tortoise, Spotted turtle, Glyptemys
Photo : Find a photo of turtle articles needing a photo
Stubs : Expand a stub article.
Update : Emydidae, Tortoise
Other : * Out of date turtle articles abound, mainly taxonomy issues, get a list here and scroll down for articles. Taxonomy information is available in WikiProject Turtles resources.
- {{Extinct turtles}} and fossil forms of both living and extinct turtles requires attention:many extinct articles require either expansion or creation and sources seems hard to come by. A list of fossil forms is being compiled so progress can be charted.
- Patrol: recent changes to turtle articles and check for improvements or errors.

Contested deletion[edit]

There are certain information that can not be placed in the genus page, distribution ranges, conservation status, taxonomic histories and whatnot. While the article Cyclemys that I wrote was more detailed than the species pages, you can not place anything more there than mere summaries of species. The species pages can be expanded and should be expanded, not speedied.

Especially as Cyclemys dentata is the most common species (in pet trade and whatnot) and is the type species of the genus. -- Obsidi♠n Soul 05:32, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This article should not be speedy deleted as being recently created, having no relevant page history and duplicating an existing English Wikipedia topic, because... This article is about the species, the name is also used for a genus. The hat tag explains the difference in usage here. --Shyamal (talk) 06:26, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
