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.

User:Pigsonthewing has created this page based on publicly available information on the IRMNG project. With the "Connected contributor" information disclosed above, if others have no objection, I may take the opportunity to correct any factual errors or add additional information of a non-controversial nature where I feel it will improve the article further. If others wish to contest or discuss anything further I will of course be happy to do so. Regards - Tony Tony 1212 (talk) 22:24, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm never sure which sounds better, to treat the word "data" as singular or plural (see discussion at Data (word))... my tendency to date (coming up through science rather than popular media) has been to attempt to standardize on the plural (e.g. "IRMNG data are presently ...") except when it sounds a bit odd, in which case I try to look for an alternative such as "information" or "content". Presently in the bits I contribute, I use the plural form but if someone wants to standardize on using the singular, that is not a huge problem.
