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Other : * Out of date turtle articles abound, mainly taxonomy issues, get a list here and scroll down for articles.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

Eastern Box Turtle?[edit]

I was under the impression that the native Common box turtle subspecies was the Florida box turtle. There may very well be Eastern box turtles there, but wouldn't Florida boxes make more sense, as I believe they would at least be more common there? Adam (talk) 16:08, 7 June 2016 (UTC) If no one minds, I am going to change the name to the more accurate "Common box turtle", as I believe two or three subspecies reside there. Normally, when we talk about Eastern box turtles, we are referring to Terrapene Carolina Carolina, hopefully, no one objects. Adam (talk) 18:35, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
