Wikipedia:WikiProject Birds/Poultry task force

The task force logo.

Welcome to the Poultry task force of WikiProject Birds. This is a group of Wikipedians working together to increase coverage of domestic poultry related topics and work to improve articles that fall within our common interests. Join and begin discussing it with us. Our goal is to see the coverage of poultry breeds, diseases, exhibition, and more improve on Wikipedia and bring further information on poultry to Wikipedia; if this is something you also think is an admirable goal, then you'll fit right in.

Articles

  • Popular pages: A bot-generated list of pageviews, useful for focused cleanup of frequently viewed articles.
  • Quality operations: A bot-generated detail log for Poultry articles.

Goals

edit
  • The poultry task force aims to make Wikipedia a reliable, neutral source of information on poultry and bring this information to a platform where it is easily accessed by the public. We strive to cooperate together to improve all topics that concern poultry, from breeds and species to diseases, poultry exhibition, usage in cooking, history of domestication and numerous other topics. The scope is vast, so the sooner we get to work the better.
