[edit] Merger proposal

I suggest this article should be merged with Suture (anatomical), in which this article and the existing "Cephalopods" section would then become parts of a "Molluscs" section. Philcha (talk) 14:01, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

That sounds perhaps not entirely unreasonable to me, as long as it would be done well. The intro sentence to the Suture (anatomical) would have to be changed quite a bit however, because sutures on gastropod shells are specifically where two hard parts meet where the whorls overlap.

I understand your desire to get the gastropod-related content right. The intro of Suture (anatomical) is meant to be generalised so that Suture (anatomical) can be extended to cover any relevant phylum or sub-phylum, etc. and all relevant materials from which hard parts are made. So I suggest the point about whorls should be part of a "Gastropods" section, with whorls emphasised as necessary to make the point. Philcha (talk) 00:33, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

That sounds reasonable to me. Invertzoo (talk) 21:30, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Could the many existing links to this Gastropod article be redirected to the 'gastropods' section of the Anatomical article? GrahamBould (talk) 08:03, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
