CZ:Biology Workgroup

Workgroups are no longer used for group communications, but they still are used to group articles into fields of interest. Each article is assigned to 1-3 Workgroups via the article's Metadata. Biology article All articles (1,621) To Approve (0) Editors: active (1) / inactive (46) and Authors: active (441) / inactive (0) Workgroup Discussion Recent changes Citable Articles (25) Subgroups (12.5) Checklist-generated categories: Underlinked (751) Cat Check (505) Cleanup (0) Subpage categories: Definitions (1,560) Related Articles (1,439 to check 708) Bibliography (399) External Links (448) Gallery (30) Video (33)  Missing subpage categories: Definitions (34) Related Articles (15) Bibliography (32) External Links (33) Article statuses: 104 Developed (status=1) 677 Developing (status=2) 699 Stub (status=3) 99 External (status=4) 128 Advanced (status 0-1) 805 Nonstub (status 0-2) 1,504 Internal (status 0-3)

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! The most up to date version of the recruitment letter can been seen here.

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 managemnet: 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.

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

To be determined

Taxoboxes

Taxoboxes facilitate the navigation through the Tree-of-Life and each taxon is required to have one using the Template:Taxobox.
