Taxonomic name entries
We can use all the help we can get to make a good set of taxonomic-name entries. To a large extent our entries provide links to other projects and to some outside taxonomic name sites.

Unlike Wikispecies, we try to have etymologies and gender information (genus and below) and try to include older, but not pre-Linnean, taxonomic names and older "definitions". We may have a better potential for gathering translations. We are much briefer than Wikipedia's non-stub articles. And, as you know, we try to cover all kinds of technical terms besides taxonomic names as well.

Also, we have means of requesting new entries ([for example, [WT:RE:en]] for English and [[Wiktionary:Requested entries (Scientific names)}} and [used in the entry]) and translations (using  [used in translation tables]) if you don't want to or can't do it yourself at the time.

Any comments are welcome, including criticism. Stuff that is specific to taxonomic names has a small audience, so you may want to try my talk page. DCDuring TALK 20:38, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
