Adopt an article[edit]

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.

Requested Articles[edit]

Lepidoptera article subpages[edit]

There should be several subpages, eg.:

Lepidoptera anatomy[edit]

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 Butterfly anatomy, or, if it has a different meaning in other parts of zoology (for example entomology), get a special section there.
