WikiProject Bivalves is a group of people who are working on organizing, improving and expanding Wikipedia's coverage of topics that relate to bivalve mollusks: clams, mussels, oysters, scallops and all of their relatives with two hinged shells, both living and fossil. Bivalves occur not only in saltwater, but also in brackish water and extensively in freshwater. The project also covers articles on topics related to bivalves, such as articles on their anatomical features and articles about malacologists who do research or did research on bivalve taxonomy. Everyone is welcome to join this endeavor.
This project was started on 1 January, 2012.

This WikiProject is an offshoot of the WikiProject Tree of Life
Descendant Wikiprojects: No descendant WikiProjects have been defined.
It is worth keeping one eye on several Wikiprojects that may have some overlap with this one, including Wikipedia:WikiProject Gastropods, Wikipedia:WikiProject Cephalopods, Wikipedia:WikiProject Ecoregions, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Marine life.
See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Bivalves#Structure
See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Bivalves#Criteria_for_inclusion
The names of mollusks in general do not follow the Bird article guidelines. It may perhaps be appropriate to follow the guidelines developed by the gastropod project. Basically articles on taxa should use the scientific name as the title, unless there is a very widely used common name that is very well known and unambiguous. Common names use sentence case, for example "Atlantic bay scallop".
The following items are desirable for articles of all levels. Text should flow in continuous prose as much as possible.
Please feel free to check each one of these off as "done" when you feel it has been adequately completed.
For consistency, all taxonomy articles should start with a sentence in easily understood language describing the group (or species), and if the article is on a marine bivalve, it should have a reference to that taxon at the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS), or another equally reliable source. We should try to ensure that the taxonomy in the taxoboxes is consistent throughout the class, and follows from the outline on Bivalvia.
Back when the project started, it was decided that the taxonomy of the Bivalvia should rely on Bieler, R., Carter, J.G. & Coan, E.V. (2010) Classification of Bivalve families. Pp. 113-133, in: Bouchet, P. & Rocroi, J.P. (2010), Nomenchttps://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Bivalves&action=edit§ion=9#lator of Bivalve Families. Malacologia 52(2): 1-184, which can be found at: Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi Rüdiger Bieler Joseph G. Carter Eugene V. Coan. 2010: Nomenclator of bivalve families with a classification of bivalve families. Malacologia 52: 4-112. However now we are in 2014, the taxonomy as expressed in WoRMS has diverged from that in Bieler et al. As of June 2014, it has not yet been decided what to do about this.
