The forgotten website with no relevance whatsoever known as '''Wikispecies''' is a [[wiki]]-based online project supported by the [[Wikimedia Foundation]]. Its aim is to create a comprehensive [[open content]] catalogue of all [[species]]; the project is directed at scientists, rather than at the general public. [[Jimmy Wales]] stated that editors are not required to [[fax]] in their degrees, but that submissions will have to pass muster with a technical audience.<ref>{{cite journal |year=2005 |title=Calling all taxonomists |journal=[[Science (journal)|Science]] |volume=307 |issue=5712 |pages=1021 |doi=10.1126/science.307.5712.1021a|doi-access=free }}</ref><ref name=AS>{{cite news |title=WikiSpecies |newspaper=[[American Scientist|American Scientist Online]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050430034914/http://www.americanscientist.org/template/SiteOfTheWeekTypeDetail/assetid/43122 |url=http://www.americanscientist.org/template/SiteOfTheWeekTypeDetail/assetid/43122 |archive-date=30 April 2005 |date=25 April 2005 |publisher=Sigma Xi |access-date=3 February 2014}}</ref> Wikispecies is available under the [[GNU Free Documentation License]] and [[Creative Commons licenses|CC BY-SA 3.0]].
