North American animals Wiki

**Welcome to the North American animals Wiki!**
Welcome to the North American animals Wiki. On this encyclopedia, there will be a lot of pages about animals that live in North America (both natives and non-natives), extinct Ice Age animals and as well as animals that are considered vagrants in the continent. However, including animals only found in captivity and feral domestic animals in each list that the wiki will have are not allowed given the fact that they are not counted as wildlife that live in the North American continent. Pages on lists of animals on each North American country, and more will be produced in the near future. North America as a continent generally includes the United States, Mexico, Canada, Greenland, Bermuda, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Central America and the Caribbean region, which is what the wiki will have articles on animals that live either of these areas.

We don't allow people to create articles on made up nonexistent animals (e.g. Giant Monarch Butterfly, being that there is no such as thing as the Giant Monarch Butterfly), as this wiki only allows articles based on actual animals to be created, not fake ones. If one creates an article that is about a species that appears made up, an administrator will take fast action by deleting it.

It is very important to note that if you either see an editor or more editors making either harassment, personal attacks, edit warring, spamming, vandalism, illegal threats or disruptive edits, please use the Noticeboard for Incidents. From there, you will need to click on the new discussion button to start the discussion about the issue. Once you have clicked the link, you will need to put the subject first and then describe the problem that you faced so that the administrator can right away solve that problem.
