Wikipedia:WikiProject Marine life

The Marine Life WikiProject The Marine Life WikiProject is designed to further information on Wikipedia. It is here to address both biological aspects of marine life but also its husbandry in the aquatics hobby. It aims to create both good and featured articles ranging from marine fish, invertebrates, corals, aquatics, and marine ecology. At the end of October 2021, there were 10,332 articles within the project's scope. During October 2021, the most popular 500 articles received 4,184,591 views, averaging 134,987 views per day. If you have any questions please leave them on our discussion page. Participants Any user is able to join and help the Marine Life WikiProject. Anybody interested in helping, just sign below.

You can also leave any requests you have here. Dio Nemanthias Planctanthias Rabaulichthys Sacura Selenanthias Tosana Tosanoides Can someone please upload a picture of a living Scaphopod (aka Tusk Shell)? We only have the shells or fossils. Stubs Have a look at Category:Invertebrate_stubs, Category:Mollusc_stubs, Category:Fish_stubs, Category:Shark stubs, Category:Cephalopod_stubs, Category:Crustacean_stubs, Category:Gastropod_stubs, Category:Cnidarian_stubs, Category:Medusozoan_stubs, Category:Anthozoan_stubs Heteractis magnifica, Sea apple, Tube-dwelling anemone Other Pictures Many articles could greatly benefit from having a picture in the taxobox. A lot of fish that are common in the aquarium trade would be easy to get pictures of as they are commonly owned and sold. Upload any pictures to WikiPedia Commons. Adopt an article Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
