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Other : * Out of date turtle articles abound, mainly taxonomy issues, get a list here and scroll down for articles.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

What was copied from Empire of the Turtle?? I mean that site has virtually no information on it, ie about two sentences and a photo. So please explain. I mean I had never been to the site until I saw this so not possible I copied anything in my edits. Faendalimas (talk) 17:28, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

From what I recall it was a copy/paste straight off that page with the wording from "DISTRIBUTION:" up to and including the "NOTES:" at the end. The odds capitialisation made it stand out the odd. aha ha, see here. Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 17:39, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it was all there, and it was all there twice. It also used to include the note that begins "From what I understand there is work underway..." but that was removed some time ago. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:20, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough then that is as it should be. I will try to get some information together on this species as its nothing but a stub in its present form. But I will not copy and paste..lol... Cheers Faendalimas (talk) 20:03, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
