3 Days until The Wiki's first Birthday!

It is 3 days until the wiki's first birthday. In response to this we have asked a few people who have contributed or visited the wiki and lef tus their details to write a short review of the wiki. These will be coming later on in the week!

Also we have added some new photos and maps but due to the server problems over the past few days we havent been able to edit or create pages. This means all the articles that were supposed to done, aren't so they will be done in time for wednesday!

Last Sunday

Last Sunday we said we were going out on a hunt for small mammals, we went to our usual locations to find nothing and before we could lay any bait down to lure the critters out it chucked it down! We abandoned the photohunt and went home.
We should be going back in a few weeks time when the weather permits!

Photo Updates

This week we are going through our Photo Archives and Wiki Photo Archives to update any old photos and delete any that are out dated or not used anymore.

Also the addition of a few new members of the Editing Team this week means over the next few months the wiki will bloom with more photos and images and more articles.

Lots more is going on during the build up to our first birthday so why not check out the wiki?

Halloween Wiki Updates

There will be at least 20 Distribution Maps added to the wiki every week from now on to gradually help bring them in.

All of the British Reptiles and Amphibians already have them and we are now moving onto birds.

Also lots more insect and fungi articles are going to be added as members of the wiki have been out photohunting for fungi and been uploading insect photos.

More information coming next week!

Distribution Maps and Other Photos

Over the next month loads of new photos from Moths to Fungi will be added to the wiki. This is aimed at helping people identify species rather than just doing by a description.

Also the new Distribution maps have come into the wiki now. All of the Reptiles and Amphibian pages now have a Distribution map to show you where to find the species. We are going to expand this soon with more maps being made every day!

Watch the wiki for the new look coming soon!

Sorting through out photos

On the British Wildlife Wiki we have over 600 photos. Hardly any of these are categorised and some have the wrong name so, we have made it our mission to go through all 600+ and categorise them and correct any names. This is due to all the new photos and distribution maps coming soon!

The WWC website is back up! Please visit this link.
The site is still under contruction so come back every now and again to see whats new!
