Articles in need of editorial help

[edit]
  • History of zoology, post-Darwin - partly from EB 1911, in bad shape; needs copyediting as well. Now included in the Zoology navigation template; high priority, needs to incorporate the other good history of biology articles where appropriate
  • History of zoology (before Darwin) - partly from EB 1911, in bad shape; needs copyediting as well. High priority; in Zoology navigation template
  • Silent Spring - needs section on historical significance, and better description of its contents; the only two sections of prose after the intro are currently Criticism and Vindication?, neither of which has much, if anything, worth keeping.
  • Natural history - very bare, with some dubious information
  • History of genetics - expand timelines into prose
  • Heredity - is currently very poor, very short, and does not go back into concepts of heredity before the late 19th century in any appreciable sense.

20th century biologists

[edit]

Biographies of many of the central figures in modern biology are woefully short.
