The Global Names Index (GNI) is a massive collection of scientific names (17,275,622 names total as of 20 March 2016). Names given are for both the genus and all of its subsequent species and sub species. Higher levels are also included. This list will provide an index of all such names to be added to Wikipedia (either creating an article or redirecting to a synonym). Subspecies will not be included (see priorities below). Names have been obtained from a number of different but credible sources [1]. Furthermore, each name will have references to external websites which would usually contain references to scientific publications which are acceptable for sourcing many scientific names.
