In the so-called "editors" of the German Wikipedia meet the volunteer assets of Wikipedia a particular department. the journal The oldest editors of the German Wikipedia is the editorial biology, which emerged from the portal creatures. They cared articles on biological topics, animals, plants and other living things in Wikipedia.
The editorial biology was always one of the most active editors of Wikipedia and has put in many respects accents that on the subject of biology also marked the appearance of the German Wikipedia far today. Their influence has significantly contributed to the Wikipedia is perceived the journal today in the German-speaking area as a quality medium.
In the Curia r, the internal bulletin of Wikipedia, Achim Raschka published a review of the past 10 years since the founding of the portal creatures. We are pleased the journal to be able to editorially easily edited in the Wikimedia blog the text:
On 1 January celebrated the portal: the journal creatures on Wikipedia and hence the Wikipedia: Biology Editors its 10th anniversary - 10 years, where a lot has happened in this area. On 1 January 2004, the portal beings and thus probably also the core of the concentrated joint work of Wikipedians, cavorting in the field of creatures built. Since then, the editors have developed the journal from time to time provided new momentum and get even - especially but continued to work steadily. Meanwhile, we look after an article inventory of about 40,000 articles on living organisms (as many items there were at that time in the entire German Wikipedia) + an uncounted number of articles from all sorts of areas of biology.
The portal creatures the journal was always the core of the editorial staff, which even today is dedicated her focus still mainly of Biodiversity - and here also is still long not finished. If you look though the oldest versions the journal of the then liverwurst pink portal the journal to, you can imagine how profoundly the work was still at that time - under the new Articles on 3 January 2004 can be found, for example, new plants to the crocodiles n and the Ammonites, but also for Bacillus anthracis, while among the still unwritten articles are still numerous other large groups. The plants at the time was primarily the "Project Lilies" concentrated active in the animals querbeet foundations were first laid and articles on micro-organisms or fungi were interspersed sporadically. Basic work
But in the portal the journal it was from the beginning not only to Article meter land, but the portal creatures quickly became a focal point of the joint work on the creatures articles. The "Lebewesenikis" met virtually the journal on the talk page to formulate the journal principles of work in their field - so got rid of it very quickly the question of relevance for species by simply from the beginning to all types of creatures as relevant declared (according to the Wikipedia Item to biodiversity around the journal 2 million described species living today, added countless the journal extinct) and instead Marshaling an few basic guidelines for the minimum the journal quality. To realize this, a portal own quality assurance has been established. the journal For the new item there is a system of input control and for some years the quality assurance is actively supported by botgenerierte maintenance lists. The Portal: Biology developed as a parallel project for basic items - and remained until today unfortunately rather an appendage. the journal Meetings, literary scholarship, determination help, ...
In 2006 there was the first time a meeting of biologists in Vienna, 2007, continued the series continues on Helgoland and to date are the annual personal meetings a regular highlight in the annual calendar of the editors. In addition to the inevitable discussions on the development of the area of biology and Wikipedia as such, in principle, include excursions to biologically interesting places with long walks to the program. In the aftermath of this meeting was made in 2007 the forerunner of today's Wikipedia: literature the journal scholarship and also the Wikipedia library research the journal on the private the journal initiative, then known as "The Long Anna". Since 2011, we have a photo microscope, financed and procured as technology support of Wikimedia Germany. Other initiatives developed for the much-used provision Help e for photos of living beings the journal or (currently playing current) Wikipedia: Articles marathon .. Needless to say, the living beings authors regular customers of the cards workshop to equip the item with distribution maps, and regular and successful participants the journal in the Schreibwettbewe
