  Wikipedia:WikiProject Ecoregions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
We believe thinking ecoregion instead of political geography (ie, borders between "regions" being defined by the political borders of nations) is a better way to solve some global issues.
Superimposing the ecozones on that, and the subordinate rivers flowing to each ocean through them, and then the ecoregions on the surface, is the only objective way to break down the Earth's biosphere without cognizance of political boundaries or languages.
Translating the ecoregions and rivers into Latin isn't hard for those that have multiple names and were colonized by Europeans.

 User: EntmootsOfTrolls/WikiProject Body, Cognition and Senses - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Any article on biology or medicine should be vetted to carefully make separate reference to hominid and hominoid capabilities, and to homo sapiens capability only where there is evidence that modern homo sapiens has gained some capability that his or her ancestors did not have.
Vetting of ecology and environment topics (see list of ecology topics and list of environment topics) to ensure that articles on ecology treat human beings as part of ecology, possibly with separate sections on their impact on say each ecoregion or biome or range or population of each endangered species.
The beginner (perhaps one who does not have English as a mother tongue) must be able to navigate logically from a perspective that seems (hah) to make sense to themselves.

 Ecoregion - Consumerium   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
An ecoregion is defined as being a cartographical delineation of distinct ecological areas, land or water, identified by its geology, topography, soils, vegetation, climate conditions, a distinct assemblage of natural communities and species, water resources, as well as anthropic factors.
WWF add to the general definition that boundaries of an ecoregion "approximate the original extent of natural communities prior to major land-use change".
Some propose the ecoregions as stable borders for w:bioregional democracy initiatives.

 Travel Guide - Online Reservation - Warsaw Accommodation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
A Wikiproject is designed to co-ordinate the efforts of several users, and to allow a group of conceptually related pages to have similar structures and appearance.
However, using a Wikiproject adds a considerable amount of additional effort and administration and it only begins to deliver value once several users are actively involved.
Switching to a Wikiproject is fairly easy - and certainly it's a lot easier than doing all the Wikiproject work upfront, only for it to go nowhere.

Standardizing place-names for use in SGML and XML documents is difficult.
An ecoregion DTD is the ideal starting point, as unlike national borders, ecoregions don't change much through human history, and when they do, the important characteristics move with them, e.g.
Both rely on the m:spacetime DTD, but beyond that, they fork, the ecoregion is ecology and geography, while a human place name refers to a polity (state) in a language of its inhabitants.
