Wikipedia:WikiProject Animals/Collaboration

The Animal collaboration is a coordinated effort by WikiProject Animals to improve Wikipedia's animal-related content. However, being a member of WikiProject Animals 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 animal 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. The ultimate goal of the Animal Collaboration is to get at least one animal or animal-related article featured every couple of months. This is currently a draft to see how well it would work.

Comments:
 * This is a former featured article, and so we should try to get it back up to featured article status. There is no reason that an article with such a popular topic as a cat, felis domesticus, should not be at the very least A-status currently.

Mammal
Nominated May 28, 2016  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk

Comment: this is a very high-importance article and I want to see this become a GA-class article. Right now, it's barely passing B-class, the bottom half needs expansion, and there's a large unreferenced section.  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 17:55, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
