WikiProject Viruses Restoration Effort! Welcome to WikiProject Viruses, This wikiproject has become inactive, and we are currently looking for new members to assist in restoring it, why not join us and add you name to our list of participants
News The 2023 ICTV taxonomy was ratified in April 2024 Aims This WikiProject aims to help organise and contribute to the growing collection of articles about biological viruses. This can be achieved by: Using consistent nomenclature and orthography in naming viruses Including taxoboxes on all virus articles Adding information to existing articles Validating information and seeking references Placing articles in correct categories Identifying articles in need of work Organising information as clear and easy to read as possible Parentage WikiProject Science Wikiproject Biology WikiProject Tree of Life WikiProject Microbiology WikiProject Viruses WikiProject AIDS WikiProject COVID-19 Important pages Root articles Introduction to viruses International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses List of viruses Virus Virusoid Viroid Phage Satellite (biology) Virology Virus classification History of viruses History of virology Root categories Category:Virus stubs Category:Virology Category:Viruses Category:Viroids Category:WikiProject Viruses Category:Viruses articles needing expert attention Root templates Template:Virus-stub Template:Virus-plant-disease-stub External links It is recommended that the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) be used in conjunction with writing up articles. The database contains up-to-date information from the leading source of viral taxonomy. NA/Class Project/Quality pages list Defunct(ish) Pages WP:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Virus articles by quality statistics (most links directly go to User:WP 1.0 bot/Tables/Project/Virus) WP:Related WikiProjects/WikiProject Viruses (Reports Bot discontinued, will not update, defunct since mid-2016) WP:VideoWiki/Coronavirus disease 2019 (VideoWiki) WP:WikiProject Directory/Description/WikiProject Viruses (also by Reports Bot, defunct since mid-2022) FAQ 1) I'm not a scientist, can I help? Absolutely! If you have an artistic flair, you could clean up a messy page or create a new template. You could also help to proof-read edits to give scientists feedback on how easy their writing is to understand from a layman's point of view. You could tag messy articles for the project, identify new stubs or even just spread the word about this WikiProject! 2) How can I get involved? If you feel like participating in this WikiProject, please sign your name over at the members page and check out the Open Tasks to be completed. 3) At what level is it worth having a separate Wikipedia article for a particular virus? Simply put, any level you like. If we write individual articles for all the viruses known to man, it may take a while; However, if you feel like writing an article about some particularly obscure virus that most people have never even heard of, go for it! The more the merrier :-) As a general guideline though, combine several species or subspecies into a single article when there isn't enough text to make more than short, unsatisfying stubs otherwise. If the article grows large enough to deserve splitting, that can always be done later. It's always a good idea to avoid creating articles that are doomed to be stubs. 4) What about eradicated viruses? Like smallpox? Sure, why not! There seems to be no reason to exclude any viruses as long as somebody's willing to write an article for it. ------------------------------------------------------EDIT------------------------------------------------------	WikiProject Viruses Project standards Portal: Viruses Portal Shortcuts: WP:VIRUSES WP:VIRUS Redirects: WP:Virus WP:WikiProject Virus Project template: {{WikiProject Viruses}} Member userbox: {{User WikiProject Viruses}} Barnstar: {{The Virus Barnstar}} WikiProject Pages Main Page - Discussion Left panel - Discussion Right panel - Discussion Newsletter - Discussion Statistics - Discussion Open Tasks - Discussion Guidelines - Discussion Assessment - Discussion Templates - Discussion Popular pages - Discussion Recognized Content - Discussion Viruses in Sister projects Media - Commons Definitions - Wiktionary Textbooks - Wikibooks Quotations - Wikiquote Source texts - Wikisource Taxonomy - Wikispecies News - Wikinews Virus articles Trophy case SARS 20 December 2004 HIV/AIDS 15 June 2006 Influenza 1 January 2007 Polio 22 August 2008 Macfarlane Burnet 6 January 2009 Virus 5 October 2009 Dengue fever 5 August 2011 RNA interference 25 November 2011 Rotavirus 7 April 2008 Social history of viruses 18 August 2013 Introduction to viruses 21 October 2012 27 March 2020
