Mid	This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.
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.

Requested move[edit]

The result of the proposal was not moved. If no one creates the DAB page I will do so if you drop an orange banner on me.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:46, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Madagasikara (gastropod) → Madagasikara – scientific name "reliable to English-language sources" per WP:TITLE. --Snek01 (talk) 11:10, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose prove WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. The redirect "Madagasikara" doesn't even point here, it points to Madagascar. 65.94.47.63 (talk) 04:31, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise, oppose per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC where it directs now, i.e., Madagascar. — AjaxSmack 13:54, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Currently, though, there is no way to get to the article about this gastropod simply by searching for its name. Perhaps we should add an additional hatnote to Madagascar, but I'm not fond of littering important articles with hatnotes that very few readers will need, so I think it'll be better to make Madagasikara a dab page.

  - Disambiguation is fine by me. 65.94.47.63 (talk) 04:49, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Good point User:Ucucha. Do the DAB page and link it to and from Madagascar (disambiguation). — AjaxSmack 19:18, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
