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.

Annoyingly, Google sends one here when one searches for "official state molluscs", but our official state mollusc (or mollusk; I'm not sure how the law spells it), which is a gastropod, is not listed, because it is shell-less. The banana slug. I feel discriminated against by whoever decided to make this shells only. I know I should probably just copy the whole thing to a new wiki, rename it "gastropods" instead of "shells", and wait for someone whose official state mollusc is a bivalve to vent. -- Haruo ( talk) 16:06, 25 April 2018 (UTC) reply

The eastern oyster is the state shellfish, but it's not specified to also be the state shell. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ayuskoto ( talk • contribs) 19:05, 17 July 2020 (UTC) reply
