1. {{User|BeowulfBrower}} Was surprised by the lack of information on, what are likely, the most biologically diverse islands on Earth. Came to write articles.
2. {{User|GregManninLB}} I love Galápagos Islands photos
3. {{User|Mbethke}} I'm currently living in the Galápagos and occasionally involved with Charles Darwin Foundation
4. {{User|Pico del Teide}} I am a zoologist, specialising in marine mammals.
5. {{User|Shrewpelt}} Galápagos animals
6. {{User|TShilo12}} - Founder of the Galápagos Islands task force. Basic interest in the Galápagos since Jr. High, when I was looking for uninhabited islands upon which to found my empire.

• Assessment (talk) — Assessing articles and other Galápagos Islands-related pages
• Human geography (talk) — Settlements, political entities
• Physical geography (talk)— Regions, parks, climate, physical features
• History (talk) — history of Galápagos Islands, both historic and prehistoric

The above should be merged into one or more sections on political geography, due to the fact that it is not feasible to compare the Galapagos Islands with other archipelago's, because of their small number of people, relative lack of an economy, etc. The main focus of the task force should be the conservation, wildlife, etc. --Pico del Teide 12:05, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

:I shortened down the list of categories; hopefully this is an improvement --Balon Greyjoy (talk) 07:50, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
