Some ideas for contributions
Hello Marjan, welcome aboard CZ. Matt has already given you some hints as to how things work here in general, and I wish to add some more practical hints on what possibilities you have to contribute. For a start, I just took some of the keywords from the information you supplied upon registration, and display below the current state of the related CZ articles (for documentation, see Template:Rpl/Doc):
- Dolphin: Add brief definition or description
- Whale: Add brief definition or description
Evolution of cetaceans: Whales, dolphins and porpoises are descendants of land-living mammals, and remnants of their terrestrial origins can be found in the fact that they must breathe air; their fin bones look like jointed hands; and their spines movement has characteristics of a running mammal. [e]- Harbour porpoise: Add brief definition or description
- Species: A fundamental unit of biological classification - a set of individual organisms that produce fertile offspring. [e]
Steady-state economy: An economic concept that takes into account the needs of future generations and the limitedness of natural resources. [e]- Biodiversity: The study of the range of life forms in a given ecosystem. [e]
- Pollutant: Any substance introduced into the environment that adversely affects the usefulness of a natural resource or the health of humans, animals, or ecosystems. [e]
- Environment: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Environment (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.
- The Netherlands: Constitutional monarchy (population c. 16.6 million; capital Amsterdam) located at the delta of three major rivers (Rhine, Maas or Meuse, and Schelde) in north-western Europe; situated between Germany and Belgium, and bordering the North Sea to the north and west; founding member of the European Union. [e]
