[edit] Current issue

The Biography WikiProject Newsletter
Volume I, no. 3 - September 2006
Project News
  • Kingboyk created a new plugin for AWB specifically for our project. You can download it to help with tagging talk pages. Support for other WikiProjects will be added gradually.
  • This month we have welcomed WikiProject British Royalty. They have joined WikiProject Biography as a child project.
  • The Core biographies workgroup have finished formulating the top 200 articles. Please help get these to FA quality!
  • If you are tagging talk pages with our template, {{WPBiography}}, please make sure you are up to date with recent changes. We have some new parameters, and the importance parameter has been deprecated (it should no longer be used). Instead, we now have a priority parameter which replaces importance and affects the workgroup articles lists only.
  • Importance and priority is currently not displayed on our worklists because of the above change and due to the bot author being on wikibreak. We hope this feature will return soon.

Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the Biography WikiProject! We're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of biographies.

A few features that you might find helpful:

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

  • Starting some new articles? Our article structure tips outlines some things to include.
  • Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every biography article in Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around!
