The Bird collaboration is a coordinated effort by WikiProject Birds to improve Wikipedia's bird-related content. However, being a member of WikiProject Birds is not a prerequisite for participation in this collaboration (nor, of course, is participation a requirement for membership in the WikiProject). All Wikipedians, regardless of their level of expertise on the subject, are welcome to contribute.

Aside from the main benefit of creating better bird articles on Wikipedia, it is hoped that the successful execution of this initiative will a) Attract new editors to work on the Project; b) Improve the writing skills of existing editors; and c) Demonstrate the value of collaboration on Wikipedia. Additionally, some large bird articles may burn out individual editors before they reach Featured status. The ultimate goal of the Bird Collaboration is to get at least one bird or bird-related article featured every couple of months.

Comments:

  1. High importance topic currently with poor structure and verifiability. Collaboration can give this some worldwide coverage instead of US/Brit overemphasis. Shyamal (talk) 14:38, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Comments:

  • Some work is happening on this one, it should be a monster article (so it has some momentum happening) and has lots of things to talk about.


Philippine Eagle

Nominated June 2, 2008;

Support:

  1. Rufous-crowned Sparrow (talk) 02:11, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Comments:

  • This is an article on one of the best-known birds outside of what lives in your backyard. It is the world's largest eagle, is critically endangered, a monotypic genus, has some images and text, needs more text and citations desperately, and all in all is a fascinating animal. Additionally, I don't think we have many good articles on a Southeast Asian bird. On the downside, we have done quite a few birds of prey in this collaboration. Oh well.
