Welcome to WikiProject Golden ratio. Some Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Golden ratio and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.

Goals

• Categorize the articles about golden ratio and promote the global development of the topic.

Scope

• Golden ratio in the universe
• Golden ratio in human production
• The evolution of the use and knowledge of the golden ratio through history

Guidelines

Open tasks

• Categorize the works that have been recognized by featuring golden ratio in their design.
• Explain how these works feature golden ratio in their design in their respective articles.

To-do list for Wikipedia:WikiProject Golden ratio: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2008-03-11 Here are some tasks awaiting attention: Stubs: Create stub tags Create templates for the talk pages of the related articles. Define the ideal related categories (I'm not crazy about the way I named them)

  Some examples of organisms in published studies of the golden ratios: The nautilus, the human body proportion, the reproduction of rabbits (Fibonacci started by observing the rabbits), the reproduction of cows (Henry E. Dudeney), the number of petals in flowers, the sunflower spirals, the pine cones, species of Radiolaria (shaped like polyhedra) and viruses (such as the herpes virus, have the shape of a regular icosahedron).
