Well, I'll give you some articles in English and Anglo-Saxon, and a little German (maybe add to other people's articles there), and in a few months, my German will be better after having lived there. Can't wait to see it started.

Benedikt, Do you want the wikispecies to be English only, or have sub-domains en.wikispecies.org, de.wikispecies.org, ang.wikispecies.org
and so forth?

Hi James!
Highest priority is to get it started properly in English, and for scientists (who are my starter/beta-test-target group) English is the lingua franca.
Nevertheless, in the spirit of wikipedia I think it is desirable to go for other languages; also for practical reasons: it would make wikispecies attractive for kids/schools and regional applications, such as local bird-watchers (I live in England right now, and these people do exist, actually in vast amounts) or national biodiversity projects as the German "GEO Tag der Artenvielfalt". As always with wiki-projects, it will mainly depend on the will of the people who contribute and use it.
