The correct name is "Encyclopedia of Life" (EOL) not "The Encyclopedia of Life". BirdHunters 12:21, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Can someone please fix the edit history which was deleted with the copy pastes/moves? It is a violation of the GFDL to remove valid history diffs and its list of contributors. -- Jeandré, 2007-05-11 t22:34z
Does anyone know what this group's copyright policy is going to be? There site doesn't list anything, and a Google search within the site doesn't seem to be much help either. -- Ybbor Talk 12:46, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
"The estimated cost will be 110.5 million dollars [12]" This information is taken from a Canadian source. 1 US-Dollar ~ 1,105 Canadian Dollars, so maybe it's just the 100 million US-Dollars multiplied by 1,105 and not a new information at all... -- 84.134.84.66 00:57, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Does this include PAST creatures as well? Dinosaurs and alike? -G —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.231.132.86 ( talk • contribs) 2007-06-23tT04:40:54z
Hello,
Yes, I was reverted earlier :
here, which seem to have done a mistake on his revert.
Then you reverted my edit on Encyclopedia of Life. My sources come from the respecting websites and are not hard to check : you can first look on the wikipedia entries Wikispecies, Encyclopedia of Life, and on the respectives websites.
A better question is : where should go this table ? I think this table should go in an article " Web encyclopedy of life projects", listing the current main projects, ans their respectives fearture. I'm not an english speaker, so I don't dare choice a name for this.
Your help is welcome. 140.122.97.4 ( talk) 08:56, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Talking about web project expected to describe the sum of all species, we can notice :
Project | launch by | Year, technology, and license | Comment |
---|---|---|---|
Wikispedies | Wikimedia Foundation (which also run Wikipedia) | 2003, open wiki, free license. | hundred thousand of articles accessible. |
Tolweb.org [1] | The University of Arizona College of Agricultureand Life Sciences and The University of Arizona Library |
Copyrighted | Professional and 9000 articles accessible. |
Encyclopedia of Life | ??? | 2007/2008, wiki (collaboration Expert & volunters), free license | 12.5 million starting budget, more expected, 10 years project, 3 articles currently accessible. |
They have been speculations about concurrence between these web projects, but we can notice than Erik Möller, working for the Wikimedia Foundation represent it to the EOL's meetings to help to provide a free Encyclopedy of Life and to choice the appropriate free license [2].—Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.135.4.212 ( talk) March 10 2008

Is it correct that CC-licensed EOL content may be copied verbatim into Wikipedia now that it is also CC licensed? Actually, I'll get ask at the Village Pump and come back here with a confirmation. - kslays ( talk • contribs) 19:45, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
Consider changing the information or deleting the article altogether? The wayback machine still has some saved copies, but otherwise this is totally archaic. 2001:1970:48A7:CD00:1D6C:692A:21D7:D0E8 ( talk) 23:24, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
