Guidelines on how to remove or include new articles from a list

A simple system has been framed so that adding/removing articles does not result in a free-for-all. Kindly follow these rules:

  • Original list to be left intact.
  • Articles sought to be deleted to be moved to a list below titled "Articles to be deleted". Preferably strike out the article in the original list also.
  • Articles sought to be included to be moved to a list below titled "Articles to be included".
  • Please give a short reason for removal/inclusion and sign off after it.
  • Please use talk page for discussing issues or comments.

Instructions for Team BIOLOGY

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to take the existing set of 772 topics and convert into a balanced set of links on Biology which will give adequate and balanced exposure to all aspects of biology, both Indian and international, for Indian School students. You are required to delete links considered irrelevant to Indian context, and add relevant links. Your upper limit of articles is 1000. After this mission is over and the compilation is made, this page will self-destruct and a new mission will be offered to develop the set of selected links further.
