Greetings, friends,
I am the Wikipedia Outreach Ambassador [1] to ARKive [2], who have
kindly agreed to donate an initial 200 article texts about endangered
species from their project, to Wikipedia, under a CC-BY-SA license.
Details are on the GLAM/ARKive project page on en-WP [3].
We are endeavouring to include species from all continents and major
sub-continents.
As en-WP articles are improved by the addition of text from ARKive, we
would like to invite colleagues from other-language Wikipedias to
translate the articles (or the additions to them) into their
languages, in recognition of ARKive's kind donation and to further
raise awareness of the plight of the endangered species - and, of
course, to grow our multi-lingual encyclopedia.
So far, three articles have been improved; these are listed on a
sub-section of the project page [4]
Can you assist us, please, by translating articles, or by informing
editors of other Wikipedias, in their language?
