Wikipedia Links: Please support this excellent online project. Obviously this is an ongoing project that will take many years to complete. One of the benefits is that information is constantly being updated, as well as being peer reviewed. Remember that the Wikipedia is a free resource. A current downside is that very little information is currently available on Southern African species online. Hopefully a project like this will encourage people to contribute information for the benefit of people all over the world.
To contribute, simply follow the links provided below. This will direct you to the Wikipedia website where you will be able to find instructions on how to edit or add information and photographs. There is also a section within the Simply Birding Forum to encourage discussion and questions, both on what to add and on how to add information.
