Welcome to the first issue of the Birds WikiProject newsletter. We hope to produce it monthly, to keep project members up-to-date regarding current efforts and issues. This month only, the full newsletter is being delivered to your mailbox. In future months, a link will be posted instead, though you can choose to continue receiving the full newsletter—or to receive nothing at all—here.
Special kudos to jimfbleak (talk·contribs), who was lead editor on an impressive eight of these articles—with, of course, capable assistance from others in copy-editing and article review!
Project news
The current project collaboration is Moa. Help us to improve the article about this intriguing group of birds—now-extinct species which were once the dominant herbivores in New Zealand's forests.
On a related note, be sure to vote for April's collaboration, which will be chosen on 21 March. Nominations are listed on the collaboration page; feel free to add a new article to the list if there's one you'd especially like to see worked on.
We now have more than 2,400 articles awaiting assessment. If each project member assessed just a couple of articles a day (most will be stub or start class), we could quickly drive that number down. To find articles needing assessment, have a look at the Statistics table here and click on Unassessed for a listing.
New task force co-leader wanted
Tobi4242 (talk·contribs) has volunteered to help start up a Raptors task force, to fall under the umbrella of the Birds WikiProject, but is looking for another editor willing to serve as co-coordinator. Anyone who'd like to help is encouraged to get in touch.
