ZooPro mentioned that he has stepped in a number of times to rescue inactive projects. I'm curious as to what the effects have been. Can we expect that the cetacean articles get their share of attention from the mammal project or mainly sit there as idle as they are here.
The mammal project has nearly thirty times as many articles as the little cetacean project. It may be hard to gauge, but is it reasonable to say that it has thirty times as much activity? I guess we could try to find information on how many articles get assessed, featured, etc. every year and see if that warrants a merger.
What are te pros and contras regarding simply joining multiple projects? Is there lots of synergy from getting input from people who aren't really interested in a particular mammal sub-group, or do people just stick to their fields of direct interest and weed out discussions on unrelated topics within the project, in which case it might be wiser to try and recruit people from related projects rather than merge.
Lastly, does anyone know what were the reasons for creating WP:CETA in the first place? -- Swift ( talk) 12:22, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
