Hello, Sun Creator! I just edited the article about Daniel LaPlante and I saw that on 19 November 2019, you added an "underlinked" tag to this article. This confused me because I find overlinking to be a notable problem in Wikipedia articles, and I lean strongly to deleting hyperlinks that I think are not needed and not helpful. (If you choose to follow what I did today, you may check my contributions, especially the section I added to user Eat Your Makeup's talk page.)
I probably don't fully understand the intention behind tagging an article as underlinked. If you have the time and inclination, you could explain it to me. For the LaPlante article, though, I think that I was right to remove a number of hyperlinks. - Jkgree (talk) 17:23, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
Hello! Voting in the 2020 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 7 December 2020. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
"In UK English, we do not "lump" turtles, terrapins and tortoises as they do in US English: hence, "land turtle" is "tortoise"; we use "terrapin" (no idea what US English uses!); and "sea turtles" are simply "turtles" in UK."
Do you have a modern reliable source (post 2000 and not a rehash of older content) for the above? As a Brit myself the experience is that people don't use terrapin but sometimes use tortoise if they are from the George of Blue Peter era (1980s), or if they are younger use turtle because of Ninja turtle and later Squirtle from Pokémon. I've only once heard the term terrapin used and that was by an Irish lady. Basically, Brits don't have any native turtles, terrapins or tortoises so all they know is from the TV.

Hi, Sun Creator—long time!
I have an answer to your question:
Howard Innes, 2009. Britain's Reptiles and Amphibians: A guide to the reptiles and amphibians of Great Britain, Ireland and the Channel Islands. Old Basing: WILDGuides.
In particular, see Contents page and p.84.
He uses Red-eared Terrapin for Red-eared Slider, though I see no need to defy long-established use; and European Pond Tortoise for Eurpean Pond Terrapin/turtle—strange choice given his use of "terrapin" in the subheading.
There's also:
Jeroen Speybroeck, Wouter Beukema, Bobby Bok and Jan Van Der Voort, 2016. Field Guide to the Amphibians and Reptiles of Britain and Europe. London and New York: Bloomsbury.
