Welcome to the '''Article workshop''' of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Palaeontology|WikiProject Palaeontology]], a place for collaborative article editing. [[Paleontology]]-related articles of any length and quality can be listed here – to obtain feedback for your latest work; to get help in developing an article or request copy edits; to bring an article up to [[Wikipedia:Content assessment/B-Class criteria|B-class]] level or to prepare for a [[WP:GAN|Good]] or [[WP:FAC|Featured Article Nomination]]; to collaboratively rework our oldest [[:Category:GA-Class_Palaeontology_articles|good]] and [[:Category:FA-Class_Palaeontology_articles|featured articles]]; and more. Submissions here invite everyone to contribute with comments, edits, and/or content additions. It is expected that the nominator will act as the main author, taking the lead in developing the article and responding to comments.

This workshop is a novel concept that aims to combine the traditional formats of [[WP:Peer Review]] and [[WP:Collaborations]]. Unlike the Peer Review, we will not only list comments on this page, but edit the article directly wherever possible. Unlike collaborations, we do not vote on which article to work on together, but rely on a main author who submits the article and feels responsible for taking it forward.

The aim of the workshop is to make article work less daunting and more fun by sharing some of the workload. Articles can benefit from the combined skills of several contributors. It also invites everyone to contribute to the listed articles with quick edits or comments, or even substantial content contributions that can lead to spontaneous collaborations.

We aim to officially "approve" successfully reworked old Good and Featured Articles once they have been peer-reviewed and are without outstanding issues. In this case, the approved version and a link to the workshop discussion will be listed in the [[Template:Article history|Article history]] section on the article's talk page, after archival of the review. Reviews should be announced in the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Palaeontology|WikiProject]] to gather as many comments as possible. So far, we approved one reworked Good Article (''[[Dracopristis]]'') and two reworked Featured Articles (''[[Thescelosaurus]]'' and ''[[Lambeosaurus]]'').

Listed articles will be automatically archived after 100 days of inactivity. Archived articles may be re-submitted any time.

'''History'''

The current Article workshop has several predecessors. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs/Dinosaur collaboration|Dinosaur collaboration]] started in 2006; a total of 29 collaborations took place, resulting in 14 "featured articles" and 7 "good articles". Its last successful collaboration was ''[[Brachiosaurus]]'', which was promoted to "featured article" status in 2018. In 2019, the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Palaeontology/Palaeontology collaboration|Palaeontology collaboration]] was initiated as a supplement, focusing on less complex articles. Its only collaboration was ''[[Acamptonectes]]'', which was promoted to "featured article" status in 2021. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Palaeontology/Peer review|Paleo Peer Review]] was started in 2020, with a total of 43 articles receiving substantial comments, of which 6 were subsequently promoted to "good article" status and 3 to "featured article" status. The Article workshop itself was launched in October 2024 as a direct continuation of the Palaeo Peer Review in a revamped format.
