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.

This page lacks a proper discussion of snail anatomy. There are brief descriptions in the Overview section, but many aspects of snail anatomy and physiology are missing. No mention of eyestalks, foot, mantle, and many other things. 021120x (talk) 20:42, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I was curious about the snail being seen as a symbol for sexual desire and a personification of the god Uayeb (added in this edit by a now-banned user), so I searched for more about it. I couldn't find much at all. When I searched the book cited (the citation does not include a page number), searches for 'snail', 'Uayeb', 'sexual' or 'desire' turned up nothing similar to the symbolic suggestion here. Maybe I'm missing something. Does anyone have a better/more precise citation or even know if the information is correct? Wolfsubzero (talk) 09:53, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
