[edit] Wikipedia:Science collaboration of the week
Physical oceanography is a current candidate on the Science collaboration. Vote for it if you want to see this article improved. --Fenice 07:19, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Open tasks list
Please help to keep the Biology portal's Open tasks list up to date. This is one of our main communication methods to help get newcomers more involved in editing articles. It contains a list of articles that need improving, articles that need creating, articles that need cleanup, etc. And of course, if you have the time, please help and work on some of the tasks on that list! --Cyde Weys 05:18, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bioregional democracy
If anyone has an interest in the bioregional democracy article, I'm currently taking some dynamite to it. Right now it is an ungainly chimera of an article (see its Talk page for my detailed comments), but since some of the more coherant sections deal with ecoregions, I though I might find some interested editors here. - David Oberst 00:38, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Categories (aquatic mostly)
Hello. I'm currently working mostly at WikiProject:Fishes and I'm categorising articles (species/genera etc) by geography. So far I've been using very broad continental categories eg Fish of the Atlantic etc. When I've finished that I'd like to categorise by eco-region. Could anyone give a link to a list of Categories you've got, or maybe suggest some (fairly broad categories) Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.HappyVR 13:05, 3 July 2006 (UTC) (Not as many as at http://www.nationalgeographic.com/wildworld/terrestrial.html - could use these as subcategories later on..)HappyVR 13:06, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Medio-European acidophilous beech forests
Hello! We are looking for interwiki for cs:Acidofilní bučina which is supposed to be Acidophilous beech forests (or may be that Medio-European acidophilous beech forests).
The labeling is:
- System Physis: 041.11 Medio-European acidophilous beech forests
- System EUNIS: G1.61 Medio-European acidophilous [Fagus] forests
- Code in Natura 2000: 9110
Can you help us? (That would be somewhat strange if such divisions are not implemented in en:Wiki, when this one is fiftytimes bigger then the cs: . cs: is having quite good covering of those topics, but I could'nt find anything here. No article, neither any reasonable navigation)
Thanks a lot Reo ON | +++ 10:23, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Problems with the usage of sub-categories of Category:Biota by country
I am trying to get a discussion going on the Flora of <region>/Fauna of <region>/Biota of <region> categories.

[edit] Project directory
Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 23:36, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia Day Awards
Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 17:04, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Project template
I made a project template for you. You can add it to an article by typing "{{WP Ecoregions}}" at the top of a talk page. It looks like this:

Feel free to modify it as needed. I made it green so it would be "ecologically friendly." :-) ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 00:53, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
- Shouldn't it say "please visit the project page""? There's a word missing. If someone could tell me how to fix it ... BeeTea 23:50, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IBRA regions
I just discovered this WikiProject, and will certainly join.
I recently started working on the Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia (IBRA) regions. The WWF ecoregions in Australia are based on the IBRA regions; each ecoregion is either identical to an IBRA region, or the amalgamation of a couple of neighbouring IBRA regions. Where an ecoregion is identical to an IBRA region, they can obviously be dealt with in a single article. I have so far written one such article, Warren (biogeographic region), which also happens to be your "Jarrah-Karri forest and shrublands" ecoregion. I located it at "Warren" because in Australia IBRA is widely known, used and respected, whereas the WWF ecoregion system is largely unknown. Also the IBRA regions predate and precede the ecoregions. Naturally there is a redirect from Jarrah-Karri forest and shrublands. How do you guys feel about this?
Warren is still a work in progress, so don't judge it too harshly, okay? My other almost-finished articles are Esperance Plains and Mallee, which together make up your "Esperance mallee".

- P.S. Interesting to note that I have followed your proposed article format almost exactly, despite being ignorant of this project's existence. Great minds think alike! Hesperian 13:00, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Project Banner
I have recently created a banner for Wikipedia:WikiProject Biology which has assessment parameters. I notice that your existing banner does not. Given the amount of overlap in the biology sector, and the concerns expressed elsewhere about the proliferation of project banners, I was wondering whether the members of this project would be interested in perhaps utilizing the Biology banner, with a "drop down tab" for this project, perhaps similar to the {{WPMILHIST}} banner. Doing so would permit for individual assessment for each project, as that is something the Military History banner does, while at the same time reducing the amount of banner "clutter" on talk pages. If you would be interested in such an arrangement, please let me know and I will work to revise the Biology banner to include the "drop-down" tab and make the other arrangements required for your project, as well as theirs, to have assessment data available. Thank you. John Carter 20:58, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Florida
Southern florida is mentioned as part of the neotropics, but a quick survey with keywords neotropics florida everglades nearctic on scholar.google.com shows mostly articles about immigation of species from the west indies to florida. Is the mentioning fo south florida correct, is its status under scientific discussion, what are our sources? TeunSpaans 02:37, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
-
- PS I discovered the current definition is taken from WWF, and I wonder if their areas are finding acceptance in the scientific community. For example, I read that neotropics for botanics was usually defined as the tropical forest regions, and excluded the temparate regions in sourthe america. Do botanists generally accept the WWF areas? Does any one know? TeunSpaans 09:02, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Ecological area infobox
It looks like there is no infobox for an ecological area ?
Please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ecology#Infobox and 'linking' templates for ecological areas and provide any comments there.

[edit] Oceania terrestrial ecoregions
Hello. WP:HAWAII currently has four terrestrial ecoregions in need of article creation. Please consider adding these four articles to your task list for collaboration. Thank you. Viriditas (talk) 12:35, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
