One caption was slightly confusing

"Loggerhead sea turtle, Evelyn, is equipped with a satellite tag and a SeaTag-GEO solar powered, geomagnetic tag"--could some w-links be incorporated so that the reader can understand what some of the things are/do?--NYMFan69-86 (talk) 01:28, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wlinked geomagnetic. SeaTag-Geo doesn’t have an article, I assume it is just the brand of the geomagnetic tag. Vancemiller (talk · contribs · count · email) 16:01, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's what it seemed like to me too. Thanks for doing that!--NYMFan69-86 (talk) 22:36, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Er...

Concerning this edit, I'm curious what sources say?--NYMFan69-86 (talk) 20:25, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think that edit is because the sentence is not encyclopedic or to dispute the claim of the loggerhead being the largest hard-shelled turtle. The Galápagos tortoise gets larger (by weight) but is not as long. Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 20:46, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seemed like the person thought of another turtle that was larger. Not too too important either way, was just wondering if this was originally put in because someone had a reference for it.--NYMFan69-86 (talk) 20:54, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cretaceous?

How can this species be 110 million years old? Surely this is wrong! 199.76.184.26 (talk) 04:48, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. The reference doesn't actually claim 110 million years old. It's suggesting between 10-65million years. I'll change it to 40million per the reference in the main text. Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 22:17, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article does not mention what happens when they die

Or did i miss this? I have heard Sea Turtles sink to the bottom of the ocean floor when they die. Is this true? 174.74.77.113 (talk) 20:37, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Collaborative FA apparently inspired a parodic tribute

Web search turned up a July 2010 parody song tribute to the subject of this article, for which the article was apparently a substantial source. Nice compliment, in an unexpected form, perhaps, to those who worked so hard on the article. Good job, all. Unimaginative Username (talk) 03:44, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
