Something that needs attention is fossil species of turtles. Many articles in this field remain uncreated and sources are hard to come by. A list is being compiled so progress can be charted. |

Welcome to WikiProject Turtles. Several Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Turtles and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.
Parentage
This WikiProject is an offshoot of WikiProject Tree of Life
Goals
- ?
Scope
- This WikiProject aims to expand and organise Wikipedia's collection of entries about turtles.
Guidelines
- For species articles, try to follow the FAs and GAs. Perhaps something like the following for a general layout (adaptation is welcome of course):
Lead
- Taxonomy
- Description
- Distribution and habitat
- Population features
- Evolutionary history and fossil record
- Ecology and behavior
- Predators
- Diet
- Movement
- Life cycle
- Conservation
Really widespread species and those affected by humans to a measurable extent should also include a "Relations with humans" section. Be sure, as always, to include references though.
Open tasks
Something that needs attention is fossil species of turtles. Many articles in this field remain uncreated and sources are hard to come by. A list is being compiled so progress can be charted.
Get involved with WikiProject Turtles discussion.

New articles
Please feel free to list your new turtles-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them, are at least over 1,000 characters, don't have any dispute templates on them, and cite their sources, should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Wikipedia Main Page.

Assessment
Peer review
If you have expanded an article and would like other to look at it and offer constructive commentary, you can put it up for a Peer Review.

Images
Pictures
Ideally, every species article would have at least one image, preferably one of the organism. Here's an example:
Distribution maps
A distribution map would be great as well (not essential for GA but for FA it's a must). An example:
Alternative text
Alternative text is another good thing to be familiar with. It should be included with every image in a given article. For example, the first image could be encoded to look like this:
[[File:Painted turtle.jpg|thumb|150px|left|alt=An adult painted turtle specimen pointed straight with its head raised and facing towards its right.]]
