Good article reassessment nomination of Colony collapse disorder

Colony collapse disorder has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:36, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

With respect to bee colony collapse,it has been claimed See https://geneticliteracyproject.org/2023/03/14/honeybee-health-driving-problem-is-not-climate-or-pesticides-but-the-deadly-varroa-mite/ that the varroa mite is the main cause of bee death. (without citing any papers).

I cannot see that this subject is treated in this varroa article.It would be extremely useful if papers supporting or disproving this "fact" would be given in this article on varroa.Spgough (talk) Spgough (talk) 15:41, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

See this post from Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Mammals : 40-50+ pages needing Wikiprojects Assessment/Tags

Many pages of animals do not have either wikiprojects attached to them or even existant talk pages, on this linked post i listed in my sandbox (since otherwise it would clogged a lot) about 300 such pages, some of which are pertinent to this wikiproject, notably 8 individual bovines, 1 individual sheep, 17 Cattle breeds, 8 goats breeds, 10 sheep breeds and many more like Fly grazing and Laystall.

Project-independent quality assessments

Quality assessments are used by Wikipedia editors to rate the quality of articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project decides to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.
