Wikipedia-style website to record every species on Earth

Coming soon to a screen near you: The Encyclopedia of Life – a user-generated database of all living things

A complete list of all the species on the planet is, for many biologists and conservationists, the natural history equivalent of the Holy Grail.So the recently-launched EoL (it stands for 'Encyclopedia of Life'), which aims to create not just a list, but an individual web-page, for every single one of the world's plant and animal species, is bound to cause a buzz.

Make no mistake, this will be a truly Herculean task.

Indifferent (Many Definitions to choose from) *Uncaring * I DO they are all Pros Adding the Data, because like the Wiki Site, not all info is Accurate or correct, and misinformation would not be good for a Site ID0ing Species and Habitats. Hopeful it is a Professional Site, and Data Gathered and Presented as Correct Data, I have read some past Bogus Information upon Wiki, so I don’t gather my Research from Wiki and I don’t advise any Students Writing Papers and Their Thesis based upon Wikipedia’s Sometimes Misinformation. I hope the New Site is Far more Pro.

I love wiki, though I would agree you cannot trust it blindly, although apparently it is equally accurate as for example Encyclopedia Brittanica. The key to using it successfully is to go and track down the source from the reference section, I've found some good stuff on it that way.

True. But I don't know whether it was because it was under the construction at the time but I found some information on Tolweb is quite limited. Animal Diversity web is not too bad either though I would trust Tolweb more.
