Orphaned references in Naticidae

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Naticidae's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "WoRMS":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 04:46, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Synonyms list

I've regularly noticed that the pages on gastropods often have a list of synonyms, which to me seems like a relic of a time before we had taxoboxes; today, with the synonyms parameter in taxoboxes, these copied lists from WoRMS are unnecessary and perpetuating the practice will lead to more wasted effort. They should be integrated with the relevant taxa. Anthropophoca (talk) 01:14, 24 August 2025 (UTC)

That's too much information to list exclusively in an infobox. Cremastra (talk · contribs) 14:48, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
In composing a list of synonyms, we follow WoRMS. Such a list provides the reader with an overview of the available names. JoJan (talk) 16:04, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
