Wikipedia:WikiProject Cats
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 |
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. |
Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to felidae and all varieties of cats. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please add your name to the list of active members below.
Scope
This project deals with the creation and editing of articles related to cats, including both real and fictional cats. We shall also include within the scope of this project those articles which have a direct and significant impact upon all members of the family felidae, including such things as feline diseases and welfare.
Departments
- Assessment - This department monitors the quality of articles and indicates the relative importance of articles to this project. It is very useful in determining which articles are most in need of further attention and which are not.
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Cats/Assessment/Top-importance articles - Where we get to
fight like cats and dogsrationally discuss which articles we think are of the greatest importance to the project.
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Cats/Assessment/Top-importance articles - Where we get to
- Peer review - This department provides editors with (comparatively) quick responses to their questions regarding the quality of specific articles.
- Gallery - a collection of some of our best and most honored images.
- Outreach - This department will be engaged in informing our members of the projects' activities and in trying to recruit new members.
- Collaboration - Still in the development stage, this department will allow us to concentrate our efforts on improving important articles to this project.
Portal:Cats - Maintain featured status.
Open Tasks
 |
Here are some tasks you can do:
|
If you do happen to have some free time on your hands, we would greatly appreciate if you can improve any of the articles which haven't yet reached good article status. Also, the Simple English Wikipedia could use some help on expanding their cat breed articles. In almost all cases on wikipedia, particularly articles which are less than good article status, we can always use additional references and reference citations for any information in any articles. Also, the following articles, among others, are counted as being of high importance to this project, and any development of them would be greatly appreciated.
- Barbary Lion
- Black-footed cat
- Black panther
- Cat (former FA)
- The Cat in the Hat
- Cheetah
- Wild cat
- Ocelot
- Animal euthanasia
Regular cleanup
A cleanup listing for this project is available, updated by WolterBot. More information...
You can also review the list of recent changes at recent changes to monitor for vandalism or to see if any article has been changed enough to change its current level of assessment.
Requested articles
- Jad-bal-ja - The Golden Lion in Tarzan and the Golden Lion
- Probably not notable enough for its own article. --165.21.154.93 (talk) 05:07, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
- Roger Tabor, cat biologist, The Wild Life of the Domestic Cat
- I agree with Roger, an article documenting the impact domestic cats have on native wild species is a must with special emphasis on bird impacts. - user:Grant Ziesemer
- There is an article on Feral cats --165.21.154.93 (talk) 05:07, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hybrid cat - A general article on domestic/wild hybrids
- Hmm. Just realised that there is an article on Felid hybrid. Maybe and article on Domestic/wild feline hybrid to distinguish from naturally occuring and human created big cat hybrids.

The cat infobox on the right is generated by {{Infobox Catbreed}}. Documentation is contained on the template page. Note that some articles still use a non-templated infobox, which can be recognized by its thick gray borders. The template allows for the inclusion of a picture and caption, common names, nicknames, country of origin and links to breed standards of major registries. Other smaller organizations with separate breed standards can be included in "Others" if appropriate. Articles about non domestic felines should use Template:Taxobox.

;Barnstars Many projects have barnstars specifically designed for their projects. At this point this project does not. We are now however considering proposals for barnstar designs at Wikipedia:Barnstar and award proposals#WikiProject Cats. Please feel free to make any suggestions or indicate your opinion of the existing proposals, for this project's barnstar proposals and any others that might interest you, there. I hope that we can have one accepted and available for giving out to the appropriate editors shortly.
