User:Sabine's Sunbird/Writing Bird Articles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Writing articles on birds can be a daunting process. There is often a lot of information out there, much of which can be contradictory or confusing. Existing articles that you want to improve can be haphazardly arranged leaving you little idea how to progress. So what is a keen student of ornithology to do? Well, I'm here to help you on the basics of writing a good article about birds, starting with the basics and working towards the finer details. I'll mostly be avoiding the stuff covered in other tutorials in the Wiki proper, technical details about how to cite or the correct way to dot i's. I'll be dealing with the particulars about writing about birds (and for that matter other animals).
