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Other : * Out of date turtle articles abound, mainly taxonomy issues, get a list here and scroll down for articles.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

Untitled[edit]

Can anyone give a source for this information? If not, I suggest possible removal of these statements:

In 90% of the cases, FP and herpesvirus are both present. All cases report a max. 2cm between the FP and herpes spots. These results lead to the conclusion that a chelonian herpesvirus is regularly associated with fibropapillomatosis and is not merely an incidental finding in affected turtles. In the 1990's, it was thought that this was a deadly condition for sea turtles and would quickly lead to the extinction of all seaturtle. New research shows that larger species can and will recover from the disease

I have rewritten the whole article. I do believe all information in the previous text is included in the new text, but if not, feel free to add it. Now there are sources to all information. I will upload a picture of the mechanical vector (the Ozobranchus spp.) of the disease later, I got permission from the Zoological Museum of Hamburg to use their material - I found no commonright photo where I was certain of the species.

And, should class be changed now as the article is quite comprehensive?

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Turtle fibropapillomatosis/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Right now this article is mainly about sea turtles, but it should be expanded to include all species affected by this (although sea turtles are probable the most seriously affected). Needs an image, too. I found one here, but it's not public domain and I'm unsure if we can use it as stated because derivative works seem to be disallowed by its copyright tag. --Joelmills 16:57, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fibropapillopmatosis in Elk[edit]

This article discribes the disease in Elk in Scandinavia https://www.nrk.no/ho/vorteelgen-ma-do-1.13720830 . The article refers to a Swedish article which states that as many as 1% of Elks might be affected. I would say the disease due to this not is specific to sea turtles like the opening sentence states. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atlesn (talk • contribs) 17:34, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge between Chelonid alphaherpesvirus 5 and Fibropapillomatosis[edit]

Looks like Ypna proposed this initially.

Merge - the Fibropapillomatosis article deals solely with the effects of Chelonid alphaherpesvirus 5 in sea turtles. If the condition exists in elk or other species as noted above, then the article should be moved to the scientific name at Chelonid alphaherpesvirus 5 and Fibropapillomatosis should be a disambiguation page or something. --Nessie (talk) 15:48, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I agree there isn't enough material here for two articles, but I think the Chelonid alphaherpesvirus 5 should probably be merged into the disease article, which is far better developed. The disease article might be moved to a title such as turtle fibropapillomatosis, as there are certainly other viral fibropapillomas. Espresso Addict (talk) 05:27, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
