NOU and Wikipedia entries
Wikipedia is very selective in what topics are suitable for new articles. Nebraska birds have an article and it refers to the NOU website for the list there.

I was the one that added the second external link to our free on line encyclopedia of Nebraska birds.
In this hot June and July period I had time to fiddle with an actual Wikipedia article. I will not submit that one again, twice rejected. But I learned something. It was rejected due to:
This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondarysources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing etc.

OTHER TOUCHY TOPICS
Suppose you are the world expert on some topic. You have 100 publications on it. Others have some. You cannot write the article on it. You can write the review article in a journal and then convince a lesser colleague to write the Wiki article based on your review.

Nebraska Ornithologists' Union
The Nebraska Ornithologists' Union, Inc. was founded in 1899 and is currently a non-profit. It has its beginnings in the 1860s with Professor Samuel Aughey, who published the first state list in 1878.[1]
The NOU exists for the purpose of keeping track of birds that are found in Nebraska. It also has two meetings each year where members can go on field trips. Membership is a few hundred.
The main publication is a quarterly, The Nebraska Bird Review. Birds located each quarter are cataloged with the initials of the birder listed under each species of note. The president also writes in the Burrowing Owl newsletter, with meeting announcements and member activity covered. This newsletter is obtained by e-mail or at the NOU website.

If you had ideas about writing a Wikipedia article, it will not be allowed unless you can cram in dozens of footnotes and links to external pages that describe your Important Subject.
