List of Testudines families

 * Notified: WikiProject Amphibians and Reptiles

I am nominating this for featured list removal because it fails criterion 2 (not much in the lead) and has no inline citations. The table itself looks nice, but it cannot be an FL if it fails those other two points. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 19:30, 6 June 2010 (UTC)


 *  weak Strong keep Sandman888 (talk) 18:46, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * it's scientific. Wikipedia has too much sports and entertainment (I'm as guilty as the next guy, I know), it is my belief that material pertaining to science and math should be given extra leeway and community effort.
 * I'll try to deal with the citations
 * I've included two refs for two columns. I think that mainly covers the list. As for the lede, perhaps someone with a dictionary can verify what's written. Sandman888 (talk) 18:57, 7 June 2010 (UTC)


 * The references are fixed, but I still find the lead to be lacking in general. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 02:43, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, the article will be fine if someone adds an appropriate, well-referenced lead (and perhaps a reference for "Common name(s)"). Mm40 (talk) 12:19, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep with a sufficiently long lead and all other matters seen to, the article now meets the FL criteria. Nice work all of us. Arsenikk (talk)  09:55, 26 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm satisfied now; I'll check with the FLC directors and see if they have any concerns, if not then it can be closed. Nice work. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 02:56, 27 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Family (biology) appears to be a dab link, as does fenestration.
 * Family (biology) seems fine to me(?), fenestration has been changed to a wiktionary link by user:Kenchikuben. None of the links on the fenestration disambiguation page looked appropriate. ManfromButtonwillow (talk) 21:22, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Well is it taxomonic rank or taxon? That's what the dab page says it could be?  It's not a major issue as the page does go on to talk about it further I suppose... The Rambling Man (talk) 17:10, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * A minor issue, redirects. You have Cheloniidae which redirects to Sea turtle but in the same row you have Green sea turtle which redirects to Green turtle.  This is potentially confusing, can we fix this up, including all the other instances of this kind of twin redirect?
 * I'm a bit confused by this. In the example you gave, are you asking for the Green turtle article to be moved to the Green Sea Turtle page? ManfromButtonwillow (talk) 21:22, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * No, I'm saying you have a variety of odd redirects. Redirects are generally not a problem, but clicking on Cheloniidae to get Sea turtle but then Green sea turtle to get Green turtle seems a little misleading to a complete non-expert such a me. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:10, 9 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Source comment – What makes Encyclopedia of Life (reference 1) a reliable source? It's not a wiki, but it apparently is a collaborative work, like Wikipedia is. Is the listed author an expert in the field?  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 21:16, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The author, Keith Pecor, is an expert on the subject from what I've seen. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 16:34, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Since an expert did write the page, I will strike the issue, and I can be considered in the keep column since I didn't notice anything else to comment on.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 23:05, 18 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment What is the status on this? The list is very close to being kept, but I'm hesitant to close the nomination when there's a sourcing issue. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:30, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
