Still to do:


'''''(i)''''' a welcome message aimed at new editors in your area, and perhaps
==How you can help==
Please participate in the [[#Naming_convention|Naming convention]]s discussion.  There is an online poll [http://www.doodle.ch/participation.html?pollId=vyb92ak9gguddpvk here]. Also look at the proposal from Noel of separating pagenames (i.e. location) and article names (i.e. title).  See the forum thread [http://forum.citizendium.org/index.php/topic,1654.msg15982.html#msg15982 here] for more details (read the whole thread for context). There is also a [http://iphylo.blogspot.com/2009/10/wikipedia-and-gregg-paradox.html comprehensive blog post on the matter].


'''''(ii)''''' a link to a version of  [[Citizendium_Pilot:Recruitment_Letter]] adapted for your discipline.  And whatever else seems helpful!
==Proposed subgroups==
::The most up to date version of the recruitment letter can been [[Citizendium_Pilot:Recruitment_Letter#Version_2_for_Biological_.2F_Health_Sciences|seen here]].
The organisation we inherited from Wikipedia is subdivided into ''disciplines within biology'', however, we do not have to follow such a format. We can move forward with subgroups that seem more natural, and I imagine some subgroups will include several related disciplines. We can discuss this more on the [http://forum.citizendium.org/index.php/topic,260.0.html subgroups thread], in the biology forum, as we reach a critical mass of editors and authors.

|'''Launch workgroup tagging of articles'''   
Any article related to the Biology Workgroup should be placed in the category <nowiki>[[Category:Biology Workgroup]]</nowiki>". This means that we think the biology workgroup will be one of the main groups to manage this article. Note, the tag is *not* "<nowiki>[[Category:Biology]]</nowiki>"; that's because we're attaching the article to its *management*.


'''Note:''' only articles with the biology workgroup category tag will been seen in the recent changes for ''all biology articles'' (see header above).
Relevant lists and headers from Wikipedia are shown at the bottom of this section. Also, the list of high priority articles in the next section are currently categorized by discipline.  


'''Launch area managemnet: deferred'''  We should probably defer selection of discipline workgroup management until after more people in each area have arrived, and we have had a chance to finalize how this management will be selected.

==Core articles list==
A list of core articles has been adapted from the high priority articles above at [[CZ:Core_Articles/Biology]].  These are articles that we deem vital to get the biology section going.  Please add to and delete from that list but try to keep it focused to key articles rather than being a comprehensive collection. For a more comprehensive list see [[CZ:Biology_Workgroup/list]] or [[CZ:Biology_Workgroup/concepts]].
 
==Tree-of-life subgroup==
A major part of the articles in the biology workgroup can be categorized under the concept of [[Tree of Life]]. All article about a species, genus or any other taxonomic level are part of this subgroup.
 
===Naming convention===
To be decided. Online poll is [http://www.doodle.ch/participation.html?pollId=vyb92ak9gguddpvk here]. Also look at the proposal from Noel of separating pagenames (i.e. location) and article names (i.e. title).  See the forum thread [http://forum.citizendium.org/index.php/topic,1654.msg15982.html#msg15982 here] for more details (read the whole thread for context).
 
'''Options:'''
 
*If page address and page title are ''not'' required to be identical
** Address and title of an article could be handled independently, as [http://forum.citizendium.org/index.php/topic,1654.0.html proposed] by [[User:J. Noel Chiappa|J. Noel Chiappa]] and already done at [[Special:Wantedpages]] whose title is "Wanted pages".
 
 
*If page address and page title are required to be identical
:1. Only common name: "Giant Panda"
 
::'''Example:''' The '''giant panda''' (Scientific name ''Ailuropoda melanoleuca'') is a species of bear...
 
::'''Pros:''' May be more user friendly, as most users are unfamiliar with the scientific name.
 
::'''Cons:''' Lacks consistency, as there are no common names for some organisms.  Also, if a bot is eventually used to fill out taxoboxes, it requires that the scientific name always redirect to the common name, which may not always be the case.


==Core article==
:2. Only scientific name: "Ailuropoda melanoleuca"
The list below is adapted from the high priority articles above and the small list that has already started at [[CZ:Core_Articles#Biology]].  These are articles that we deem vital to get the biology section going.  Please add and delete from this list.  We are rstricted to 198 articles that we think are needed now.


For a more comprehensive list search for the red links in the [[CZ:Biology_Workgroup/list]] or [[CZ:Biology_Workgroup/concepts]].  
::'''Example:''' '''Ailuropoda melanoleuca''', commonly known as the '''giant panda''', is a species of bear...


Just to clarify, i combined the list the concepts and the core article we already had.  I then edited for duplicates and removed items that did not seem to fit the core concept. We now have 300 articles. Feel free to add topics that are missing. Also feel free to group articles into topic related concepts, although this alphabetical list is probably OK for those wanting to see what is missing from CZ. [[User:Chris Day|Chris Day]] [[User talk:Chris Day|(talk)]] 16:33, 27 September 2007 (CDT)
::'''Pros:''' More suited to bot farming of taxonomy.  Avoids confusion where a common name doesn't exactly line up with a taxonomic division.


{{col-begin}}
::'''Cons:''' Less user friendly &ndash; would require redirects from the common name, as few users know the scientific name.

Workgroups are no longer used for group communications, but they still are used to group articles into fields of interest. Each article is assigned to 1-3 Workgroups via the article's Metadata.

The Biology Workgroup will organize and coordinate efforts to create and improve articles relating to Biology. If you are interested in participating, you may add yourself to Category:Biology Authors, then simply dive in and begin contributing!

Please note that information below may be out-of-date.


How you can help

Please participate in the Naming conventions discussion. There is an online poll here. Also look at the proposal from Noel of separating pagenames (i.e. location) and article names (i.e. title). See the forum thread here for more details (read the whole thread for context). There is also a comprehensive blog post on the matter.

Proposed subgroups

The organisation we inherited from Wikipedia is subdivided into disciplines within biology, however, we do not have to follow such a format. We can move forward with subgroups that seem more natural, and I imagine some subgroups will include several related disciplines. We can discuss this more on the subgroups thread, in the biology forum, as we reach a critical mass of editors and authors.

Relevant lists and headers from Wikipedia are shown at the bottom of this section. Also, the list of high priority articles in the next section are currently categorized by discipline.

Core articles

Core articles are those that are as-yet unwritten and so should be prioritised. Please start articles on the topics below. Click here to edit this transcluded list.

Core articles list

A list of core articles has been adapted from the high priority articles above at CZ:Core_Articles/Biology. These are articles that we deem vital to get the biology section going. Please add to and delete from that list but try to keep it focused to key articles rather than being a comprehensive collection. For a more comprehensive list see CZ:Biology_Workgroup/list or CZ:Biology_Workgroup/concepts.

Tree-of-life subgroup

A major part of the articles in the biology workgroup can be categorized under the concept of Tree of Life. All article about a species, genus or any other taxonomic level are part of this subgroup.

Naming convention

To be decided. Online poll is here. Also look at the proposal from Noel of separating pagenames (i.e. location) and article names (i.e. title). See the forum thread here for more details (read the whole thread for context).

Options:

  • If page address and page title are not required to be identical


  • If page address and page title are required to be identical
1. Only common name: "Giant Panda"
Example: The giant panda (Scientific name Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is a species of bear...
Pros: May be more user friendly, as most users are unfamiliar with the scientific name.
Cons: Lacks consistency, as there are no common names for some organisms. Also, if a bot is eventually used to fill out taxoboxes, it requires that the scientific name always redirect to the common name, which may not always be the case.
2. Only scientific name: "Ailuropoda melanoleuca"
Example: Ailuropoda melanoleuca, commonly known as the giant panda, is a species of bear...
Pros: More suited to bot farming of taxonomy. Avoids confusion where a common name doesn't exactly line up with a taxonomic division.
Cons: Less user friendly – would require redirects from the common name, as few users know the scientific name.
3. Both names, scientific one in parentheses: "Giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)"
Example: The Giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is a species of bear...
Pros: Includes all information in title. This presentation of the information is fairly standard, so it is likely that users will recognize that the information in parentheses is the scientific name.
Cons: Name is long. Would require redirects from the common name, as few users know the scientific name. Poorly suited to bot farming of taxonomy. Also, the page will have to be moved if the common name OR the scientific name is changed.
4. Both names, common one in parentheses: "Ailuropoda melanoleuca (Giant Panda)"
Example: Ailuropoda melanoleuca (giant panda) is a species of bear...
Pros: Includes all information in title.
Cons: Name is long. Would require redirects from the common name, as few users know the scientific name. Poorly suited to bot farming of taxonomy. Also, the page will have to be moved if the common name OR the scientific name is changed.

Taxoboxes

Taxoboxes facilitate the navigation through the Tree-of-Life and each taxon is required to have one using the Template:Taxobox.
