Wikipedia:WikiProject Diptera

Welcome to WikiProject Diptera. Several Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Diptera (flies) and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please add yourself as a participant in the project.

Talk page template
Please place at the top of each article's talk page. This will help to direct editors to WikiProject Diptera for guidance. The arguments to be filled for importance and quality can be found at WikiProject Diptera/Article Classification. The value "article_quality" is a measure of the quality of the concerned article and will be one of the following: FA, GA, A, B, B, C, Start, Stub, List or Category. Similarly, "article_importance" is one of: top, high, mid or low. The "needs-photo" item if given a value of "yes" will indicate that a photograph is needed. An example of a WikiProject template with values of "B" for quality and "high" for importance and "yes" for needing a photograph will look like this:
