Currently, this project has about ~7 articles in need of some reference cleanup. Basically, some short references created via {{sfn}} and {{harvnb}} and similar templates have missing full citations or have some other problems. This is usually caused by templates misuse or by copy-pasting a short reference from another article without adding the full reference, or because a full reference is not making use of citation templates like {{cite book}} (see Help:CS1) or {{citation}} (see Help:CS2). To easily see which citation is in need of cleanup, you can check these instructions to enable error messages (Svick's script is the simplest to use, but Trappist the monk's script is a bit more refined if you're interested in doing deeper cleanup). See also how to resolve issues.

These could use some of your attention

To do

If you could add the full references to those article/fix the problem references, that would be great. Again, the easiest way to deal with those is to install Svick's script per these instructions. If after installing the script, you do not see an error, that means it was either taken care of, or was a false positive, and you don't need to do anything else.

I've added the name "areanophagy" to the arachnophagy article, and created a matching redirect. I'm pretty sure the terms are cognate - but I'm posting this here just in case "areanophagy" refers solely to spiders, rather than to arachnids in general. Can anyone knowledgeable check this? — The Anome (talk) 14:01, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Except that you've misspelled it. It's "araneophagy". Dyanega (talk) 17:51, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You're right! Let's hope I've got it right elsewhere; I'll just check... — The Anome (talk) 21:21, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fortunately that seems to have been a one-off typo; I seem to have spelled it correectly everywhere else. — The Anome (talk) 21:27, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve drafted a new article in my sandbox (User:Darwipli/sandbox/TPOCo) introducing **The Principle of Collaboration and Cooperation (TPOCo)** — an interdisciplinary framework that describes cooperation as an energy‑driven, cyclical process found from cells through societies. It synthesizes decades of peer‑reviewed research (including Tomasello’s seminal sharing experiments) into seven core principles and includes a flowchart visualization.

• TPOCo offers a unifying biological perspective on cooperation across taxa (from symbiosis to animal social behavior).

• It bridges molecular, organismal, and ecological levels — enriching Wikipedia’s coverage of cooperative evolution, mutualism, and social biology.

1. Feedback on structure, scope, and neutrality

2. Identification of missing high‑quality sources or relevant comparative biology research

3. Advice on linking to existing articles (e.g., cooperation, mutualism, social evolution)

4. Volunteers to co‑edit the sandbox draft toward main‑space readiness

Please review the draft here → User:Darwipli/sandbox - Wikipedia and share suggestions below. I welcome any expertise to ensure this becomes a robust, well‑sourced Biology article. — Darwipli (talk) 21:45, 26 March 2025 (UTC) Darwipli (talk) 03:54, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dear all

I’m very happy to let you know we are running a competition at Wikiproject Climate Change to encourage people to help improve visual information about climate change including the impact of biodiversity loss etc. The competition is open until the 17th of May for all language versions of Wikipedia. The top three point scorers will each win a signed copy of The Climate Book by Greta Thunberg.

Please let me know if you have any questions

Thanks :) John Cummings (talk) 17:37, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Carbon has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. Z1720 (talk) 16:42, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In searching for a page on the innervation of the pelvic viscera, I found that Organ (biology) is the current redirect for this. Given that this particular innervation is quite complicated and at times fails to respect boundaries between different organ systems (ie, the Pudendal nerve doing absolutely anything it feels like to any tissue in the area) I do think it deserves its own page. At the very least, it should be apparent that the current redirect target does not provide remotely enough information on the subject.

This could notably establish precedent for further page creation of organs based on anatomical location. I do think this is a good idea if it does happen. Further discussion at Talk:Organ (biology)#Proposed splits Just-a-can-of-beans (talk) 19:41, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
