Biology workgroup tasks |
Suggestions for this page as recommended by Larry Sanger
Still to do: (i) a welcome message aimed at new editors in your area, and perhaps (ii) a link to a version of Citizendium_Pilot:Recruitment_Letter adapted for your discipline. And whatever else seems helpful!

How you can help |
Launch workgroup tagging of articles
Any article related to the Biology Workgroup should be placed in the category [[Category:Biology Workgroup]]". This means that we think the biology workgroup will be one of the main groups to manage this article. Note, the tag is *not* "[[Category:Biology]]"; that's because we're attaching the article to its *management*. Note: only articles with the biology workgroup category tag will been seen in the recent changes for all biology articles (see header above). Launch area management: deferred We should probably defer selection of discipline workgroup management until after more people in each area have arrived, and we have had a chance to finalize how this management will be selected. |
Proposed subgroups |
The organisation we inherited from Wikipedia is subdivided into disciplines within biology, however, we do not have to follow such a format. We can move forward with subgroups that seem more natural, and I imagine some subgroups will include several related disciplines. We can discuss this more on the subgroups thread, in the biology forum, as we reach a critical mass of editors and authors. Relevant lists and headers from Wikipedia are shown at the bottom of this section. Also, the list of high priority articles in the next section are currently categorized by discipline. |
High priority articles
This list of articles is not complete but it can be used as a starting point for writing new articles or focus our efforts towards getting more articles approved. Articles in bold are regarded as a higher priority. Those struck through are considered as low priority.

Core article
The list below is adapted from the high priority articles above and the small list that has already started at CZ:Core_Articles#Biology. These are articles that we deem vital to get the biology section going. Please add and delete from this list. We are restricted to 198 articles that we think are needed now.
For a more comprehensive list search for the red links in the CZ:Biology_Workgroup/list or CZ:Biology_Workgroup/concepts.
Just to clarify, I combined the list the concepts and the core article we already had. I then edited for duplicates and removed items that did not seem to fit the core concept. We now have 300 articles. Feel free to add topics that are missing. Also feel free to group articles into topic related concepts, although this alphabetical list is probably OK for those wanting to see what is missing from CZ.

Bear in mind the Health Sciences Workgroup has 198, too, and there must not be overlap. --Larry Sanger 12:02, 27 September 2007 (CDT)
- Also note that the red links on the "already have" list are articles that are marked as externally sourced. These may be included at CZ:Core Articles to be rewritten.--Joe Quick (Talk) 18:53, 27 September 2007 (CDT)
Tree-of-life subgroup
A major part of the articles in the biology workgroup can be categorized under the concept of Tree of Life. All article about a species, genus or any other taxonomic level are part of this subgroup.
Naming convention
- Each species or higher taxon, except exceptions below, are to be written under their official scientific name. If there is a single established common name, that name is included in the title between parenthesis. (e.g. "Barnardius zonarius (Australian Ringneck)").
- Groups that are included in the "Latin name (Common name)" system are birds (offcial names) and mammals (the single authoritative source for mammal names). Other groups will be added if a single authoritative source has been established.
- If a single authoritative common name is available for a species (see point above), that name is to be used in the article.
- Subspecies and specific populations are included in the article of the species, unless they warrant a full article by themselves due to the amount of subspecies specific information.
- All common names are created as redirects to the main article. All scientific synonyms are created as redirects to the main article. In case of the "Latin name (Common name)" scheme, the the main scientific name is also created as a redirect.
- Exceptions. The following domesticated species are created under their common name, most of the time using "Domesticated " as a prefix:
- Human (Homo sapiens sapiens)
- Domesticated horse (Equus ferus caballus)
- Domesticated cat (Felis silvestris catus)
- Domesticated dog (Canis lupus familiaris)
- To be completed.
Taxoboxes
Taxoboxes facilitate the navigation through the Tree-of-Life and each taxon is required to have one using the Template:Taxobox.
