Welcome to the Biography Collaboration of the Week Project Page! Every other week a collaboration is selected — usually a biographical article or topic related to biography that either has no article or can be drastically improved, with the goal of achieving a feature-standard article from widespread cooperative editing.
Previous winners can be found at /History.

The current Biography WikiProject Collaboration of the Fortnight is:
Mikhail Baryshnikov.

Please read the nomination text and help improve the article to featured article standard.

The next winner may be selected on Thursday, February 2, 17:40 (UTC). The current date and time is 03:57, March 31, 2007.
