Past Projects: Wikipedia:WikiProject AP Biology 2008
A high school class in North Carolina - Croatan High School in Newport, North Carolina - will contribute to Wikipedia until January 15, 2010. The collective goal is to write biology related articles and bring them up to featured article status (or, good article status). This is done as part of an Advanced Placement Biology course. The lead editor is Jimmy Butler. This project is a followup performance of our 2008 efforts. The 2008 Wikipedia AP Biology Project was marked with much success; although there are some modifications that will be incorporated into the 2009 season which should lead to improvements. The primary changes of note will be:
I have also retired from my supplemental job; hence I will have much more time to devote to this project.
Feel free to discuss this project. Please notify me of any concerns; especially if they involve the behavior of my students on Wikipedia. With a little patience, this should be an inspirational experience for all.

Please place this template in the discussion page of any article that is being worked on as part of this project. It will help the community identify the work carried out by AP Biology 2009. Simply copy and paste into the article's talk page somewhere near the top:
Place this template on the talk page of articles that are granted the FA star:
Some information on planning and resources for the AP Biology 2009 Project.
There's no precise order for everything. (Wikipedia doesn't care if you skip everything and go straight for a FA nomination: as long as the article satisifies the criteria.) There's always the need for small, incremental change. But over the course of the project we're looking for radical change, in some cases seeking to create a featured article from scratch. So we need also to be methodical.
And it may turn out that not all articles will be submitted to Featured Article Review. But this should still be our goal!
NB see also what Wikipedia has to say about article development.
Whenever you edit, make sure that you are signed in. Also, add four tildes ~~~~ to the end of all comments you make on talk pages. This will let people know who is talking.
To get past the stumbling blocks of GA and FA, articles will have to conform to the Wikipedia style guides. The three largest barriers are:
Secondary style guide are specific to different projects. Articles must conform to these also. Conflict between any of these is inevitable and troublesome; editors simply have to work out conflicts through consensus.
You can always ask for help at:
These articles were adopted by the AP biology class 2008-2009 as either stubs or poorly written start class articles and were elevated to the status listed below.

This serves as the bucket described in Wiki -AP Bio 2008. It's where I piss and moan without offending anyone. Actually, it is a place to keep my notes for future improvements or perhaps as take-it or leave-it feedback for other educators which I hope will follow. You go back Jack, and do it again... wheels turning round and round.
