Passenger pigeon at FAC

Just a heads up to inform that passenger pigeon, a rather high importance article within this project, and Wikipedia in general (vital, CD selection), is now at FAC[1], and any comments are welcome. FunkMonk (talk) 3:26 am, 1 February 2016, Monday (23 days ago) (UTC+1)

Hi, it is pretty easy to add project tags to articles, you can begin by simply adding this[2] to the respective talk pages, then others will rate them and so on. FunkMonk (talk) 09:05, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the response. I thought that only admins or long-time editors given admin privileges were able to add projects to pages. Edelgardvonhresvelg (talk) 13:32, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Endangered species by reason they are threatened has been nominated for deletion

Category:Endangered species by reason they are threatened has been nominated for possible deletion, merging, or renaming. A discussion is taking place to decide whether it complies with the categorization guidelines. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the categories for discussion page. Thank you.

About 70 subcategories, the oldest from 2015, are also being proposed for deletion. There is debate about whether it is possible to list some threats to a threatened species without oversimplification and omissions amounting to misinformation. Comments from anyone with expertise in conservation biology would be particularly welcome. HLHJ (talk) 03:44, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
