Metres vs. Meters
- The Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Scientific_style says: For units of measure use SI units, unless there are compelling historical or pragmatic reasons not to do so. The SI unit of measurement is the metre. The variant American spelling, meter is not the name of the SI unit, but is correct in American English. Nonetheless, it does not trump the standard spelling.
- The Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#National_varieties_of_English says cIf all else fails, consider following the spelling style preferred by the first major contributor (that is, not a stub) to the article. This spelling has been stable and accepted in the article November 12, 2004, and has been retained through a long history of edits.
Thus, "metre" should be retained. Guettarda 18:55, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
Turtle diet
It would be nice if someone could add a section on Sea turtle diet (what they eat). It's missing on most of the articles and also on the main sea turtle page.
