This is a WikiProject, a collaboration area and open group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of a particular topic, or to organizing some internal Wikipedia process.
Please see the Guide to WikiProjects and the Directory of WikiProjects for more information.
Welcome to WikiProject Biology, a common forum for discussing biology-related editing issues and guidelines. Join the discussion.
There are many active biology WikiProjects. The purpose of this project is to provide common ground for editors in these projects, for seeking advice or requesting help from a broader community of biology editors, and for coordinating the perpetual problem of categorization of biology articles. (For some time, this page has redirect to Portal:Biology, where the talk page served that purpose.)
Many biology categories are in a bad way. They tend to fill up with articles on minor topics that are better placed in subcategories (or sub-subcategories, etc.).
(Statistics compiled June 22, 2007)
Category:Biology - with 60 subcategories, it could use some reorganization. It also accumulates articles rapidly, so it needs regular attention.

Tyciol (talk) 03:21, 2 June 2008 (UTC) I intend to become a biologist so I intend to help with this to improve my knowledge and benefit it more as I learn more.
Gumbacious (talk) 10:39, 22 June 2008 (UTC) interested in genetics, evolution, biotechnology, bioremediation, and biochemistry.
Rex shock (talk) 23:04, 29 June 2008 (UTC) interested in phytoplankton and especially diatoms
