Title
WikiProject Biography
Scope
This WikiProject aims primarily to define a standard format for biographical articles.
Descendancy
This WikiProject's descendancy includes the following projects: Academics, Composers, Historical figures, Political figures, Saints, and the Canadian Dictionary of Biography Initiative.
These projects should be merged into the parent Biography project. Adraeus 09:38, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
Members
- Adraeus — I'm interested in esoteric figures who satisfy the criteria for inclusion.
- Smelialichu — I'm working through transferring biographies from the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica. I'm Working from B (most of A is supposedly already entered)
- Netoholic — working on the infobox and standardization of article layout
- Vaoverland
- WikiUser — I've already done about 40 biographies, after taking trouble to trawl for hours through the "requested articles" lists on various pages, including the UK wikipedians area. I have written others on other sites to. I've researched with great effort and time to make the articles acurate. I am the resident editor for the biography sections for several people on other non-wiki sites too.
Tasks
