I am maxed out in real life, so I will be on a semi–wikibreak for several months. I may still log in regularly, but my level of activity will probably be reduced and I won't have enough time to write articles.

The loggerhead sea turtle is an oceanic turtle distributed throughout the world. An adult weighs around 135 kilograms (298 lb), with the largest specimens weighing in at more than 454 kilograms (1,001 lb). The skin ranges from yellow to brown in color, and the shell is typically reddish-brown. Found in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans as well as the Mediterranean Sea, the loggerhead sea turtle spends most of its life in saltwater and estuarine habitats, with females briefly coming ashore to lay eggs. The loggerhead sea turtle has a low reproductive rate and a lifespan of 47–67 years. Omnivorous, the species feeds mainly on bottom dwelling invertebrates. Its large and powerful jaws serve as an effective tool in dismantling its prey. Loggerheads are considered an endangered species and are protected by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Turtle excluder devices (TEDs) have been implemented in efforts to reduce mortality by providing the turtle an escape route. Loss of suitable nesting beaches and the introduction of exotic predators has also taken a toll on loggerhead populations. Efforts to restore their numbers will require international cooperation since the turtles roam vast areas of ocean and critical nesting beaches are scattered among several countries. (more...)
Hello. If you remember, I was the student working on the Spotted Eagle Ray article. I have just a few questions. My teacher said he may open up the second semester for extra credit. I wanted to pick up the Spotted Eagle Ray again, but I really don't think it has the FA potential that some other articles do. I have been considering joining the Sand Tiger Shark article. I was wondering what your opinion on the spotted eagle ray was. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marissa927 (talk • contribs) 17:00, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hey SunCreator,
It's been a while since I last edited Wikipedia, but my teacher has offered extra credit to work on it and I really enjoyed working on it last semester. I was wondering, do you think that the quoll has potential for featured article? If it does, I am thinking about continuing my research on it. But if you don't think it does, I will move on to another topic. Thanks! --Savetheoceans (talk) 17:07, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Listen to what SC says, but I think it will be easier to get another topic up to GA than to take Quoll to FA. It's not just polishing (which is still a lot of work), but also a genus article is going to be tougher. You probably need to re-reasearch the topic, understand more about each species, have a range map breaking each species out, etc. Good luck either way!TCO (Reviews needed) 22:55, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks so much!I think we will begin to work on the article as soon as possible. I will make sure to add the vocalization to the behaviours section. --Savetheoceans (talk) 13:32, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SC:
Will you please add archiving (and archive old talk) for this page [1].
Thank you for editing the Lined seahorse article. I just completed the introduction this morning. How do you think the article looks as of right now? I appreciate your help. LittleCass 14:05, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
