SomeWikipedia contributors would like to have aproject to better organize information in articles related to thephotosynthetic organisms commonly calledalgae.
This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedia contributors. If you would like to help, please take on an open task, or add tasks where work is needed on Algae articles. Open tasks may be found on thetaxon notes page.
For more information on WikiProjects, please seeWikipedia:WikiProjects andWikipedia:WikiProject best practices.
This project is meant to provide a central location for participants interested in dealing with the mess called Algae on Wikipedia. In particular, the goal is to establish a higher level taxonomic framework from reliable and accepted taxonomies that can be used to sort photosynthetic organisms that are notembryophytes (land plants).
In particular the goal is to start with a good quality or better article for every division and class or higher taxon of marine, freshwater, soil, and symbiotic "algae." It is the intention, then, to add correct taxoboxes for all such organisms existing on Wikipedia.
