Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005 Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). If you need help with any aspect of an article, please leave a note at the Project talk page.

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Add a reference and slightly reword a sentence under "In agriculture", by changing this:

The [[decollate snail]] (''Rumina decollata'') will capture and eat garden snails, and because of this it has sometimes been introduced as a [[biological pest control]] agent.

to this (snatched from the Decollate snail article):

The [[decollate snail]] (''Rumina decollata'') captures and eats garden snails and has therefore sometimes been introduced as a [[biological pest control]] agent.<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Wilen |first1=Cheryl A. |last2=Flint |first2=Mary Louise |title=Snails and Slugs |url=https://ipm.ucanr.edu/home-and-landscape/snails-and-slugs/ |access-date=2026-08-02 |website=Institute of Pest Management |publisher=University of California Dep.

Note: You may be already able to make this edit yourself (if not now, then very soon, in the next day). Your account is probably old enough to be considered autoconfirmed on your next edit. Umby 🌕🐶 (talk) 03:08, 3 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

It took 5 days instead of 4 for some reason? But yeah, incorporated now, and thank you for your friendly reminder :) — EmoryNB ^(they/them) ^talk ^contribs 11:00, 3 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
