New articles
To browse Tree of Life subjects that require articles, see the Tree of Life list of requested articles. If adding to the list of requests, make sure to include scientific names, as it will make it easier for others to track down information. One-sentence stubs are discouraged: try to create a worthwhile start class article, with a taxobox, and sources properly cited. When adding weblinks, look for standard references first, such as the IUCN and its sub-commissions.

Specific request lists also include:
 * Missing encyclopedic articles about  animals.
 * Missing encyclopedic articles about  plants
 * Requested articles about plants (botany)
 * Fact-check new biology articles nominated for "Did you know ...?" here. The link is to all nominated articles, but binomial species names are easy to pick out. Successful candidates will be linked to from our Main Page, so let's make them look good!

Cleanup
Please add missing-taxobox to the talk page of articles that need taxonomic information.

Articles needing taxoboxes Articles needing short descriptions
 * Missing taxobox
 * there are approximately 4000 species articles without short descriptions. Run a PetScan query to get an (imperfect) list.
