Why don't we see a few example web pages of what the wikispecies will look like, or have several different examples, perhaps somewhere on Wikimedia, so we can refine the interface/idea?
that would be nice, in particular for "outsiders" like me who probably do not understand the core of the problem. What I have seen at fishbase.org and from what I know about the scope of Wikipedia I don't see the problem yet. If additional features are needed for wikispecies we should discuss if it's possible to add these to the existing software.
The only problem I see at the moment is the remark that articles should be locked, which I can understand, but I think at least the accepted wikispecies experts should be able to modify the article.

The lockdown would be only for very specific resources; they are the verbatim text of the original publication of a taxon. The only need for these to be changed is when they are not verbatim. Consequently, they are perfect or they are useless for scientific reasons. At this moment in time there are none on any wikipedia.
This is an example of such a text: it was published in Succulenta in 1971 - 50(2) a Dutch magazine on succulents. Hence the second part in Dutch. The publication is valid for it is in Latin. *********************************************************
