Some [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedian]]s have formed a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|project]] to better organize information in articles related to '''[[Carnivorous plants]]'''.  This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians.  If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or add your name to the participant list below.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see [[Wikipedia:WikiProjects]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices]].

==Scope==
This project is meant to provide a home for all work being done on Wikipedia articles related to [[Carnivorous plants]]. 

In particular, this project aims to build quality pages on every family, genus, and species (eventually). Please see the [[list of carnivorous plants|list of carnivorous plant species and genera]].

==Participants==
*[[User:SuperDuperBotanist]]
*[[User:NoahElhardt|NoahElhardt]] - Working through various genus and species level articles whenever I find time. 
*[[User:Rkitko|Rkitko]] - I have focused on plants that are [[protocarnivorous]] or suspected of carnivory, such as ''[[Triggerplant|Stylidium]]''.  I will continue to focus in that area and contribute elsewhere where possible.
*[[User:Petr Dlouhý|Petr Dlouhý]] - I made SVG distribution maps of CP familys and other on Commons. See [[Commons:User:Petr Dlouhý]]
*[[User:Plantphotographer|Plantphotographer]] - I'm new to wikipedia work, but know CPs well and should be able to expand  entries, especially in the ''Utricularia'' descriptions.
*[[User:Mikepellerin|Mikepellerin]] - I can help out anywhere.
*[[User:Nightphoenix90|Nightphoenix90]]

*<s>[[:de:Benutzer:Denisoliver|Denisoliver]]</s> In the German Wikipedia I started in 2004 working on CPs, meanwhile there exist more than 120 articles on them ([[:de:Kategorie:Fleischfressende Pflanze|check current count here]]), most articles on genera and some about species are FA/GA now.  
*[[User:JeremiahsCPs|JeremiahsCPs]] - I added lots of Nepenthes species photos -Jeremiah- CCPS
*[[User:Yummifruitbat|Yummifruitbat]] - I'll clean up and add detail to as many articles as time permits.
*[[:de:Benutzer:Panama01|Panama01]] In the German Wikipedia I am focussed some Drosera, Nepenthes, Pinguicula and of the Sarracenia.

'''''Drosera regia''''', commonly known as the '''king sundew''', is a [[carnivorous plant]] in the sundew genus ''[[Drosera]]'' and is [[endemism|endemic]] to a single valley in [[South Africa]]. The genus name ''Drosera'' comes from the [[Greek language|Greek]] word ''droseros'', meaning "dew-covered". The [[specific epithet]] ''regia'' is derived from the [[Latin]] for "royal", a reference to the "striking appearance" of the species. Individual leaves can reach {{convert|70|cm|in|0|abbr=on}} in length. It has many unusual relict characteristics not found in most other ''Drosera'' species, including woody [[rhizome]]s, [[operculum (botany)|operculate]] [[pollen]], and the lack of [[circinate vernation]] in [[scape (botany)|scape]] growth. All of these factors, combined with [[molecular phylogenetics|molecular data]] from [[phylogenetic]] analysis, contribute to the evidence that ''D.&nbsp;regia'' possesses some of the most ancient characteristics within the genus. Some of these are shared with the related [[Venus flytrap]] (''Dionaea&nbsp;muscipula''), which suggests a close evolutionary relationship. <small> [[Drosera regia|read on...]]</small>

==Structure==
The following are merely suggestions of how a page ''could'' be structured. Feel free to include what you like and move things about as you create/edit pages.
*Taxobox
*Introduction
*Description of plant characteristics. Include morphology, method of carnivory, flowers, size, etc.
*Distribution and Habitat
*Taxonomy and/or botanical history - include relationship to subtaxa, or closely related sister species.
*Cultivation
*References, further reading, and links

Important: [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|Citing sources]] is important. Please cite specific sources whenever you can. [[Wikipedia:Footnotes|Footnotes]] are a great way to do this.

==Photos==
Eventual goal is to have at least one representative photo for every page. If possible, please upload new photos into the commons so that they can be used by others (ex. other language wikipedias)

{{Commonscat|Carnivorous Plants}}

==International issues==

As carnivorous plants are a field of special interest, international cooperation can be of use. For example, there have already been translations from the German to the English Wikipedia and the other way round (''Nepenthes rajah'', ''Pinguicula'', ''Drosera pedicellaris'', ''Drosera'' etc.). International cooperation might fasten the production of new articles or reworking current articles through teamwork in parallel writing, exchange of literature and help in translating. 

===Cooperational offers from the German Wikipedia===
User: [[:de:Benutzer:Denisoliver]]

To finish the description of all CP-genus' by featured articles, the following articles need to be reworked in the German WP:

* ''[[Heliamphora]]'' [[:de:Sumpfkrüge]]
* ''[[Roridula]]'' [[:de:Wanzenpflanzen]]

Maybe somebody is interested in parallelizing efforts on any of these articles?
