The last successful collaboration was Acamptonectes, which was promoted to "featured article" status in 2021. This initiative can be reactivated anytime. As a replacement or supplement, we started the Palaeo Article workshop, a place for collaborative article editing. |
The Palaeontology collaboration is a coordinated effort to improve Wikipedia's palaeontology-related content. All Wikipedians, regardless of their level of expertise on the subject, are welcome to contribute. Contributors are not required to have prior expertise in article writing, nor detailed knowledge about the formal requirements a high-class article has to fulfill. Aside from the main benefit of creating better dinosaur articles on Wikipedia, this initiative will hopefully 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 goal of each individual collaboration is to bring the nominee to Good Article, and, ideally, to Featured Article status.
It was originally activated in June 2019, as a complement to the long-running Dinosaur collaboration, and with the main objective to introduce less experienced editors into article writing.
