As you probably know, anyone can edit a Wikipedia article. What you may not know is that there is a cloud of people who help regulate this in various ways, from volunteer editors to special interest working groups.
The group for turtles and tortoises, WikiProject Turtles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Turtles) ranks chelonian articles for their research usefulness and seems to have some pretty decent guidelines and goals.
I have a question and a challenge...
QUESTION:
This group ranked the current Red-foot article at a 'C' (too much care info, not enough information about the species), and I would like to try to raise that grade. I can do the writing and research, but am not familiar with Wikipedia formatting and conventions. Can anyone help me format articles for Wikipedia- adding maps, footnotes, etc. the right way?
CHALLENGE:
Any other smart folk here want to tackle other species or help with the Red-foot? Granted, this forum is mostly about cares, but know there are a lot of IQ points gathered here. I think it would be great to see more TFO folk taking a role in this.
