Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Gastropods#Error in Littorinimorpha articles by Ganeshbot

Hi gastropod enthusiasts. I encountered the article on Nembrotha lineolata and was confronted with this first sentence:

:Nembrotha lineolata is a species of nudibranch, a sea slug, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Polyceridae.

I looked at the other Nembrotha species, and they mostly have variations of this first sentence (though some{{snd}}like Nembrotha aurea{{snd}}put "sea slug" before "nudibranch"). Many other nudibranch articles have similar first sentences as well.

To me, this sentence feels rather clunky. I don't think it's necessary to know that this species is a nudibranch and a sea slug and a marine gastropod and a mollusk and in the family Polyceridae. But I have no experience with writing gastropod articles. So I'm asking here: Should this sentence be trimmed, and if so, how should it be written instead? Also, should "marine" link to Ocean, Marine life, or something else entirely? For reference, here's a link to the lone FA-class gastropod article, Laevistrombus canarium.

Hello everyone!

After spending some time working on it, I’ve decided to nominate Drymaeus poecilus for Good Article (GA) status. This is a significant step, especially given how little is known about the species, and about Drymaeus as a whole. I'm excited to give it a shot! I’ll do my best to provide any additional information the reviewers might need. Feel free to jump in as a reviewer, or lend a hand in promoting the article. Your support is very welcome!

Maybe we should have a Wikiproject mollusks instead of a bunch of Wikiprojects on different types of mollusk. Zhenghecaris (talk) 20:19, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

:I wouldn't object to be honest, but how active are the other projects, I wonder? Daniel Cavallari (talk) 20:52, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

::As far as I know there is only one thing in the talk page of Wikiproject bivalves and no other Wikiprojects. Zhenghecaris (talk) 21:27, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

Hey folks! Just to let you know, we've had some articles recently promoted to GA! Check it out:
