[edit] Scope

Articles relating to the study of species in a natural environment.

For articles and categories on the effect of humans on the environment see Wikipedia:WikiProject Environment.

[edit] Topics

• Ecology - Category:Ecology
• Environment - Category:Environmental science

[edit] Purpose

1. The management of Wikipedia pages relating to ecology
2. Aid Wikipedia in becoming a useful and reliable source of information for these topics
3. Promotion of the availability of these topics on Wikipedia,
4. Encouragement of others to use and build pages on these topics
5. Promote an awareness of the natural world

[edit] Parentage

The parent of this WikiProject is the WikiProject Biology.

To-do list for Wikipedia:WikiProject Ecology:

edit · history · watch · refresh

[edit] New Articles Create any of the missing articles listed on the WikiProject Ecology page [edit] Expansion Expand any of the articles tagged with the {{ecology-stub}} template listed in Ecology stubs [edit] Categorisation Tag new articles which belong to Category:Sustainability as such (also Category:Environment, and Category:Ecology) Reclassify article categories. Change articles to more appropriate category, or give multiple categories where appropriate. Identify feature articles, pages needing attention, Can you come up with a better classification scheme? Add ecologists and others into list of people by name see also: Categorization [edit] Templates Create a template to link desert articles Create a template to link climate articles Create a template to link soil types, and write articles on each soil type (e.g. FAO soil classification) Create a template to link ecozones and ecoregions, and label countries or regions with their ecozone Create a template to link ecotope articles, if appropriate when the ecotope article is created Create a template to link various -spheres such as biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere Create a template to link biological interaction articles. e.g. Parasitism, Symbiosis (done) Create a template to link biomes (no longer used in ecology?) Create a template to link Endangered species + add them all to Category:Endangered_species Note: Subcategories, rather than templates, would often be appropriate See also: WikiProject Ecoregions is tackling ecoregions, ecozones, etc. [edit] External pages Create a resource of useful links to external information on topics Discuss with organisations the possibility of licensing their information under GNU FDL or a compatible license Replace any of the links on the broken links list with good ones if needed [edit] Automation Create tools to automate "broken links list" generation [edit] Assessment Start an assessment page. Assess articles, determine how many articles fit within this topic. May get a bot to mark articles so we know how many there are and to encourage editors to assess them.

[edit] Assessment

A project template has been created which will allow us to assess articles. Type {{Ecology}} on talk pages to use it.

[edit] Scientific Peer Review

This project is no longer active and scientific articles should be directed to the general peer review. Reviews of articles that were completed are archived here.

[edit] Templates

• Template:Biological interaction-footer — {{Biological interaction-footer}}

  A navigational template to be affixed to the bottom of selected articles.

• Template:Ecology — {{Ecology}}

  This is meant to be affixed to the talk page of articles that fall within the scope of this WikiProject.
