WikiProject Ecology

Welcome toWikiProject Ecology,an interactive and collaborativeWikiProjectaboutEcologyand improving Wikipedia's articles and coverage about ecological topics.

This project's scope includes:

1. The management of Wikipedia pages relating toecology
2. Aid Wikipedia in becoming a useful and reliable source of information for these topics
3. Promotion of the availability of these topics on Wikipedia,
4. Encouragement of others to use and build pages on these topics
5. Promote an awareness of the natural environment and world
6. Maintaining objectivity and neutral point-of-view in ecology-related articles

As noted atTalk:Environmental chemistryplease do any work in consensus with other editors. Removing large sections leaving bare headings is not the right way to proceed.Velella^VelellaTalk08:50, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

A refereed journal on Wikiversity

I think I posted this on an archived discussion and will look for a better place to post--Guy vandegrift(talk)09:49, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

According tothissurvey, the prime disincentive against making scholarly contributions to Wikipedia is that it will not advance careers.Wikiversity:First Journal of Sciencewill be a peer-reviewed journal that should alleviate this problem for recent college graduates who are not expected to have published in the established scholarly journals.

The word "First" in the title is intended to suggest that we need more journals like this. TheWikiversity:First Journal of Sciencewas patterned after theWikiversity Journal of Medicine,but will have a somewhat more informal flavor, consistent with this new journal's intent to focus on teaching at the undergraduate college level.Wikiversity:First Journal of Sciencewill attribute with bylines that list usernames only, in contrast with the use of real names by theWikiversity Journal of Medicine

Another unique feature ofWikiversity:First Journal of Scienceis that edited versions of Wikipedia articles are welcome, and are presented as Wikipedia articles on the Wikiversity journal via permalinks to the history of Wikipedia articles. This is currently accomplished in a rather awkward fashion, by moving the Wikipedia article into the editor's user space, and after proper attribution, deleting all that extraneous prose that Wikipedia articles tend to acquire. An example of this shown in one of the three "pseudo-articles" that were used to create amockupissue. Of the three "pseudo-articles" in this mockup, I consider only one to be suitable for publication. It is Wikipedia'sIntroduction to quantum mechanics.Note how the logo was inserted into the "pseudo-accepted" version without permission of the article's current editors. In other words, all of Wikipedia's 5 million articles are candidates for publication in this journal, and in a manner of speaking, have already effectively submitted their manuscripts toWikiversity:First Journal of Sciencefor review--Guy vandegrift(talk)05:24, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
