What do you think?
I think that this option would have considerable advantages, as long as we
can make sure that the db provides specific information for wikispecies
users that wikipedia users might find too detailed/specialised. If the
wikispecies db will be organised like in your suggestion, we would have to
be able to create an interface that makes it clear that it is a unit and
not a general encyclopedia and provide similar search functions as other
species databases (as
www.fishbase.org - according to the needs of a
certain taxon).
