The Tree of Life project's aim has always been to write about all
species. I think that ambitious aim has been part of the reason for its
success in becoming the largest wikiproject (tens of thousands of
articles), with the most contributors.
I am personally disappointed that you want to put a stop to that -
presumably coming up with some guideline so that *some* species are
allowed articles, but not all.
It also rides against the overwhelming consensus of this thread, as
mentioned in my other post. Whatever their position on wikispecies,
on-one has suggested crippling wikipedia.
