Talk:Giant clam

message: What language is the word "pa'ua?"  I assume some polynesian language; note however that Tridacna gigas is certainly not found in Hawai'i.
I am also adding a redirect to Giant Clam from Tridacna.  Eventually we should have a separate Tridacna genus page that links to each of the seven (?) species.  A colleague of mine works on Tridacs and hopefully she can provide me with the neccessary info/images to set this up.

message: On Hamilton Island, 27 June 2007, a five-year-old boy was injured by a giant clam. The mollusc clamped down on the boy's finger, almost severing it. A plastic surgeon operated on the boy for three hours, and said he was lucky to still have his finger. (Courier Mail, Friday 29 June 2007, p16, written by Janelle Miles)
I read this in the paper this morning, and I thought it was significant enough to be put in here. I don't know how to put the citation though, so could someone help me on this? --58.179.103.179 00:00, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: made a start for you, one thing the reference needs is the title of the article, i couldnt find it on the courier-mail website. also, it would be nice if the article verifies the species as tridacna gigas. --PopeFauveXXIII 08:11, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

message: On Dec.24,2020 I wrote to Jimmy regarding my discovery in Lombardy - Italy of a fossil of Giant Bivalve Clam that is 153 cm. long and  therefore it exceeds of 16 cm. the one found in Sumatra in 1817. I have all the necessary documentation that confirm my discovery and also the one of the Mayor(Public Officer) of the small town where I found it that can confirm the length.
Please let me know how and where I can send photos  plus documentation. Best regards Mario Riva Ph.D.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.21.247.253 (talk) 14:16, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

This article has been chosen as this fortnight's effort for WP:Discord's #team-b-vital channel, a collaborative effort to bring Vital articles up to a B class if possible, similar to WP:Articles for Improvement. This effort will run for up to a fortnight, ending early if the article is felt to be at B-class or impossible to further improve. Articles are chosen by a quick vote among interested chatters, with the goal of working together on interesting Vital articles that need improving.
Thank you! Remagoxer (talk) 23:10, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
