The picture of the tortoiseshell ornament claims its origin is Japanese, while the caption of the very same picture in the article on tortoiseshell material states it is from Palau. Does anyone know where it's actually from? Steinhauser 11:42, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this image labelled as a Hawksbill in Tobago is actually a Leatherback. Can anyone confirm? Jnpet 08:02, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Not sure if turtles really can digest glass, sounds like someone is confused with "glass sponge", which I doubt really contains glass in the form most people know it. Please correct, as I'm not a turtle expert. 82.69.54.182 23:01, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Phew, done with my first draft of reorganizing the article. Hope you guys like it. Shrumster 07:49, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

"...it is illegal to capture and to trade in hawksbill turtles and products derived from them in many nations." could mean that it is illegal to trade in the products that many nations derive from the turtle. It's more clear to put the modifier, "in many nations" in a place where it clearly refers to (modifies) *both* the turtles and the products made from them. (Alternatively, set the parenthetical clause in commas, viz: "it is illegal to capture hawksbill turtles, and to trade in them or the products derived from them, in many nations." This also makes it clear that "in many nations" refers to the whole shebang, but it's longer and more convoluted. The first is more concise and clearer.)

"In China, where it was known as tai mei, it is called the tortoise-shell turtle, named primarily for its shell, which was used for decoration." That's two changes of tense in one sentence. Since I didn't do the research, I don't know what was intended or how to correct it. Are we speaking strictly of the past (was), of the present (is), or of both, in which case clarification would be needed, e. g. "In ancient times, it was known as 'tai mei', and is currently called 'the tortoise-shell turtle', named primarily for its shell, which has been used for decoration from ancient times to the present". I'm not saying that's how it should read; just giving an example so that someone who knows the correct tenses of each clause can make the sentence consistent or consistently-described though time. If multiple eras are involved, splitting it into shorter sentences, perhaps one referring to the past and one to the present, might not be a bad idea.

"General consensus has determined sea turtles, including Eretmochelys imbricata to be, at the very least, threatened species because of their long lifespans, slow growth and maturity, and slow reproductive rates. Many adult turtles have been killed by humans, both deliberately and incidentally."
The following ref doesn't mention this subject. Lfstevens ( talk) 16:26, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
This week 6 people died as a result of food poisoning from Hawksbill turtle meat in Micronesia. 90 people are hospitalized. Maybe we can add that info to the article. Regards.-- Abuk SABUK ( talk) 17:07, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
"The hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) is a critically endangered sea turtle belonging to the family Cheloniidae. It is the only species in its genus. The species has a worldwide distribution, with Atlantic and Pacific subspecies." This could use some copyediting. I recommend something like:

The correct name for this is Hawksbill sea turtle, as the Loggerhead sea turtle, reference page 000.93. Regards, SunCreator ( talk) 01:54, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
