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Other : * Out of date turtle articles abound, mainly taxonomy issues, get a list here and scroll down for articles.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

Recipe[edit]

I found the recipe here: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/13923/13923-h/13923-h.htm (old enough to be off-copyright) BillFlis 18:29, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese version?[edit]

is this the same as turtle soup found in Asia, e.g. Singapore... Chensiyuan 11:58, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

i've added a pic of the Chinese version of turtle soup -- and yes it is indeed a widely known delicacy in Asia, at least in places like Singapore (just google "turtle herbal soup" on google.com.sg). from what i can see at the wikicookbook entry as well, the Chinese version is rather different. Chensiyuan 13:57, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent addition. What kind/species of turtle is used? (I suspect different from the other versions mentioned.)--BillFlis 02:31, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest I don't know. I only enjoy eating it :) But I'd try to find out. Chensiyuan 02:34, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the species used is "Pelodiscus sinensis"? The following links might be helpful: [1], [2]. Chensiyuan 06:47, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Realitycheck: Turtlesoup is illegal, but no one really cares...[edit]

Well, I just realized that Turtles are Endangered_species and because of the CITES Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora or the Washington Convention it is theoretical illegal to sell, buy or eat Soupturtles, but I just learned that even Singapore Category:Treaties_of_Singapore concluded or ratified the CITES even you can find Turtle soup everywhere in the city. Any comments or tipps for me? --Never stop exploring (talk) 17:03, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Actually most turtles are NOT endangered. They are quite abundant. It's sea turtles that are endangered! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.202.24.164 (talk) 14:13, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Wiki Cookbooks?[edit]

I think it's important for this article to remain in some form in the encyclopedia. In looking around the web, I've found that some people are surprised (or ignorant of the fact) that turtle soup (which is always snapper in the Philadelphia region) really contains turtle meat, and assume that all such soups are now mock turtle. Green sea turtles, from which the soup was originally made, are now a threatened or endangered species in some areas, which probably adds to the impression that turtle soup can't have turtle meat in it. Then there's the "yuck" factor! If the article gets copied (and I don't see why it shouldn't, altho a good modern recipe for American snapper soup would be a nice addition), the recipe and trivia can be removed here, but I think the definition (and ==See also== Mock turtle soup) should remain.--BillFlis 08:29, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's a pretty prominent thing, especially on the East Coast. James Beard has recipes on it. It's notable and peculiar. TCO (talk) 05:18, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not just Singapore and the US[edit]

Turtle soup is an old traditional soup found in many old cookbooks, and was served around the world. It was considered a delicacy, and was served in many renowned restaurants. It's especially a part of old French cuisine. I've also seen it listed in older British cookbooks. So this article really needs renovation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.202.24.164 (talk) 14:18, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

TMNT Pop Culture Reference?[edit]

Wonder it it's worth mentioning that Shredder from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, in various cartoons, video games and comics, often is said to love turtle soup and threatens to turn the Ninja Turtles into soup. It's literally the only place as a kid I ever heard of the soup in pop culture. camtin (talk) 23:54, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
