== Image of ''Zonitoides'' dart ==
{{Washington-geo-stub}}
There is an image of darts of some ''Zonitoides'' at http://delta-intkey.com/britmo/images/taydart.jpg. Description is at http://delta-intkey.com/britmo/www/zonitida.htm and reference http://delta-intkey.com/britmo/www/refs.htm The book is very probably public domain (depends on other coaouthors and illustrators if any) but I have no the book and can not found it to download. --[[User:Snek01|Snek01]] ([[User talk:Snek01|talk]]) 21:06, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Which ref is it Snek? Which book? I might be able to find it in the AMNH library. [[User:Invertzoo|Invertzoo]] ([[User talk:Invertzoo|talk]]) 20:37, 9 October 2008 (UTC) OH, wait a minute, you mean, "Taylor, J.W. 1894-1914. Monograph of the land and freshwater Mollusca of the British Isles. Vols. 1-3. Taylor Brothers, Leeds." Let me see in a couple of weeks if the library has it, I can look at it and tell you which are the ''Zonitoides'' darts, and also who the coauthors and illustrators were.

== Possibly sexist imagery? ==

It seems as though the image here might be misconstrued to be pushing a phallic, penis-centered agenda. Any idea if we can get an image that won't lead to such misunderstandings? [[User:Mwahcysl|Mwahcysl]] ([[User talk:Mwahcysl|talk]]) 10:23, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

:Goodness gracious, that won't do at all. You are absolutely right... would someone with the correct image that doesn't lead to such unfortunate misunderstandings please rescue this situation? --[[User:Geronimo20|Geronimo20]] ([[User talk:Geronimo20|talk]]) 11:01, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

:: I agree. In order to keep trolls away, we should get a better image. Does anyone have one? [[User:Mwahcysl|Mwahcysl]] ([[User talk:Mwahcysl|talk]]) 18:28, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

== Mention of purpose in lead section? ==
I think it would be particularly helpful to those just skimming the topic to have a quick summary of the purpose of the love dart in the lead section. That would definitely help make the article much more accessible to readers just looking for a quick overview. &mdash;/[[User:Mendaliv|<b>M</b><small>endaliv</small>]]/<sup><small>[[User talk:Mendaliv|2¢]]</small></sup>/<sub><small>[[Special:Contributions/Mendaliv|Δ's]]</small></sub>/ 15:32, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Mendaliv, that's an excellent suggestion. Done. [[User:Invertzoo|Invertzoo]] ([[User talk:Invertzoo|talk]]) 18:40, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

==How do they get rid of it...==
when it's over? does the flesh eject the dart outwards, or dissolve it ? [[User:NVO|NVO]] ([[User talk:NVO|talk]]) 20:16, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

That's also a very good question, and one I have wondered about myself over the last week. So far I have not seen any discussion of that question in the literature, but we will try to look and see if any researchers have made observations on that. [[User:Invertzoo|Invertzoo]] ([[User talk:Invertzoo|talk]]) 20:35, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

== Parmarionidae ==
Parmarionidae is not a family used in [[Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005)]]. The information in the article should be updated according this new taxonomy. --[[User:Snek01|Snek01]] ([[User talk:Snek01|talk]]) 23:32, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

You are right Snek. That would be good to do. I am going to be out all day tomorrow, but I can have a go at working this out over the weekend. That is unless you beat me to it. Best, [[User:Invertzoo|Invertzoo]] ([[User talk:Invertzoo|talk]]) 00:06, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I had a go at cleaning that taxonomy section up tonight. I also created stub articles for a few superfamilies in order to get rid of the red links there. I did it all in a bit of a hurry and I am a bit sleepy, but hopefully it all makes sense. [[User:Invertzoo|Invertzoo]] ([[User talk:Invertzoo|talk]]) 01:04, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

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.
