| 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!

| 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 tasks
This list of tasks is not complete but it can be used as a starting point for new tasks or focusing our efforts. Tasks 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
For others to decide
Taxoboxes
Taxoboxes facilitate the navigation through the Tree-of-Life and each taxon is required to have one using the Template:Taxobox.
