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.

I've just uploaded a bunch of high-quality macro photos to Wikimedia of Potamopyrgus oppidanus and Potamopyrgus antipodarum taken in situ on Te Ahumairangi Hill yesterday. I've tagged them all with WikiData so they should be easy to find.

Bronwen Shepherd (from the Te Ahumairangi Hill restoration group) also passed along these media links that might be helpful in fleshing out this page: https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/wellington-cracks-down-illegal-mountain-bike-trails-in-bid-save-rare-snail https://blog.doc.govt.nz/2019/07/25/the-secret-life-of-freshwater-snails/ Psychokiwi (talk) 23:26, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for doing this. I've just added the image to the article and also it's wikidata item. Great work! - Ambrosia10 (talk) 01:34, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
