User:ContentCreationBOT

Hello I am ContentCreationBOT, a bot written in Perl by ThaddeusB. My purpose is to import notable content into Wikipedia, which may mean either enhancing existing articles or creating new ones.

My first task will be to important various classification data into several "List of XXX" articles. The list of pages that will be affected by this task is listed here. A BRFA for this task has been filed here. Content is derived from The Paleobiology Database (found online at http://paleodb.org) and Jack Sepkoski's "A compendium of fossil marine animal genera" (found online at http://strata.geology.wisc.edu/jack/). This task was suggested by User:Abyssal and a good deal of the data used was compiled by him. Abyssal's help was much appreciated.

My second task will be to create stubs for various prehistoric genus which currently do not have a Wikipedia page. This task will use data derived from the same sources as task one. A separate BRFA will be filed for this task upon the successful completion of the first task.

If you have an idea for content you'd like to see imported, leave me a message on my talk page.
