Hi, everyone!

I too have found the WoRMS database to be a great taxonomic resource, and I use it frequently.  I have found that, if there are any omissions or any errors to be fixed, the editors will quickly make the corrections once any problem is brought to their attention.  Keep up the good work  WoRMS staff!

 I have found that no ONE database should be considered
 the final say. Check 
 two or three for dates, at least and then the original
 description, if possible 
 and if there is a discrepancy. If WoRMS is not correct,
 bring it to their 
 attention, but just because 2 percent may be incorrect is no
 reason to throw the 
 entire endeavor into the trash can. 
  My firm belief is there has NEVER been a book
 written about any 
 subject that has no errors. 
 For American shells I check Malacolog, WoRMS, Turgeon
 et al 2nd ed. Then go 
 from there. 
  Keep up the good work WoRMS staff.
