Photo: Lots of turtle articles need photos
Stubs: Plenty of stubs also.
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- Out of date turtle articles abound, mainly taxonomy issues, get a list here and scroll down for articles.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.
- Link orphan: turtle articles. Generate up to date list here and scroll down for articles.
- Patrol: recent changes to turtle articles

Yes! Please change these into different articles! Something on reptiles shells shouldn't be shared with airplanes! Grantnolan (talk) 01:08, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Split

Perhaps split this article into Plastron and Plastron (biology)? Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 11:00, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Ok there is a section of the Turtle shell artical now that covers all the biology section here. How should I deal with this on this page? Cheers, Faendalimas ^talk 08:32, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Have made this page a redirect to Turtle shell. As per dissambiguation guidlines I see the other meanings as disctionary definitions and trivial, however I have left the other information on the page for future use. Faendalimas ^talk 07:21, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
