Wikipedia:WikiProject Spiders/Articles

Wikipedia articles on Spiders
At the moment there are more than a thousand pages, 700 of which are stubs. To get a picture, it's easiest to start with one of the following pages:
 * Spiders - should be the main entry page for most people
 * Araneae families - main entry page of taxonomic tree.

Adopt an article
Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
 * Example articles: Blind spiders, Arachnology

Spider article subpages
There should be several subpages, eg.:
 * Spider anatomy
 * Spider vision
 * Spider evolution
 * Spider taxonomy
 * Spider bites
 * Spiders in culture
 * Spiders as food (should be merged with Fried spider)

Blind spiders
A list of themes where there's mostly information on the internet, but nobody started an article yet:
 * Cicurina
 * Neoleptoneta microps
 * Adelocosa anops PDF
 * Lygromma anops PDF PDF
 * Euagrus anops PDF
 * Micythus anopsis (no links found)
 * Spermophorides anophthalma (no links found)

Spider anatomy
List of some items that are not explained yet. These should either be treated in an article of their own, or get a section in Spider anatomy, or, if it has a different meaning in other parts of zoology (for example entomology), get a special section there.


 * Apophysis
 * Bulbus
 * Calamistrum
 * Carapax
 * Colulus
 * Embolus
 * Gnathosoma
 * Hysterosoma
 * Opisthosoma
 * Scutum
 * Spermatophore

Featured article candidates

 * The article Spider was proposed for Featured article. It should probably split into sub-pages and checked for accuracy first.
