The monthly Mammal collaboration is a coordinated effort by WikiProject Mammals to improve Wikipedia's mammal-related content. Being a member of WikiProject Mammals is not a prerequisite for participation in this collaboration (nor, conversely, is participation here a requirement for membership in the WikiProject). All Wikipedians, regardless of their level of expertise in the subject area, are welcome to contribute.
Aside from the main benefit of creating better mammal articles on Wikipedia, it is hoped that a successful initiative will: a) Attract new editors to work on the Project; b) Improve the writing skills of existing editors; and c) Demonstrate the value of collaboration on Wikipedia. The ultimate goal of the Mammal Collaboration is to get at least one mammal or mammal-related article featured every couple of months. There are several mammals in particular that have very large articles because of their popularity and the volume of research devoted to them. These may be better worked on in a collaborative manner, rather than by a single editor, in attempting to reach Good or ultimately Featured status.
The first incarnation was active in early 2008, with four articles selected over four months from mid February to mid-June, one of which is now Featured ( Primate) one a Good Article ( Polar bear), and two B-class ( Brown rat and Tiger). All are large articles. The collaboration was reactivated in mid 2009, with one article chosen ( giraffe), but little activity ensured, although the article has since achieved Good status. The collaboration was reactivated in late 2010, the first collaboration ( Fossa (animal)) is now Featured.
Any user may nominate an article to be collaborated upon. Nominees should:
