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Other : * Out of date turtle articles abound, mainly taxonomy issues, get a list here and scroll down for articles.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.

Capital letters?[edit]

I'm confused -- should it be Western Pond Turtle (as written in the article) or Western pond turtle (as shown by the article name)? — Yurei-egg tart 06:01, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It definitely should be 'Western Pond Turtle' as that is it's full common name... it would silly if the common name was just 'Western' XD. I'm going to go ahead and support someone with priveleges to do so to change the article name. ~Fwiffo (128.223.224.118 (talk) 20:35, 26 June 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Hatchling Picture[edit]

A hatchling picture for this article would be great, and a good step for this article, if someone could contribute I would be grateful and offer cookies~! ~Fwiffo (128.223.224.118 (talk) 20:35, 26 June 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Interesting that they are rare in Eugene area, I saw quite a few today during an early warm spell. Is there a source for data on their estimated populations? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.20.14.125 (talk) 05:37, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
