It’s all in the title. I would have liked to help complete some “About” section sheets for species, but I can’t find any way to propose texts as would be done in Wikipedia. Is this possible? If not, is adding text functionality with peer validation possible?

The About - is taken from Wikipedia

About pages are Wikipedia pages, so just create a page there with the same name as the species your helping with.
This is taken from the “Edit taxon” page:
The title of the Wikipedia article that we use for the description. If the Wikipedia URL is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird, then this value should be Bird. If left blank the scientific name of this taxon is used (that usually works).
