Help me!
Please help me with starting a page of Passive Exoskeletons. The current Powered exoskeleton page has information on both active and passive exoskeletons. It uses this term to differentiate from from insect exoskeletons. However, this page name is inaccuract as manufactured exoskeletons may be active (i.e., powered) or passive (through the use of strings). Thus Powered exoskeleton should be for only active exoskeletons (and should be renamed for clarity) while this new page should be assigned to information regarding passive type manufactured exoskeletons.

 * You can use the Article Wizard to create a new draft article and submit it for a review by an experienced editor. The title should be "Passive exoskeleton" since Wikipedia doesn't use title case and uses the singular (as in "Powered exoskeleton"). I don't see that the current article ever mentions insects; it mentions passive exoskeletons twice, once in a historical context and once regarding their use in the car industry where they may be more appropriate than powered ones. That does not seem too off-topic. I rather expect that you'll find that "powered exoskeleton" is a term much more commonly used than "active exoskeleton" (a Google search gives about 200K results vs. 7K), and the Wikipedia article's title should be the common name.
