[edit] Scope

The project covers all Elvis related articles; including: songs, albums, movies, record labels, Graceland, and articles of those people in his life (i.e. Colonel Parker, Priscilla Presley, Lisa Marie Presley, etc). All of these articles should be included in the Category:Elvis Presley or one of its subcategories.

[edit] News

Well, the Collaboration of the Week has stalled with Elvis Presley#Early life. Hopefully we'll get past these issues soon and get back on track.

December 25, 2007

Portal:Elvis Presley has been created with the goal of it becoming featured.

December 3, 2007

Work has begun on the first Collaboration of the Week: Elvis#Early life. Discussion is taking place on the talk page.

November 30, 2007

Well, the December assessment drive ended up being done before December arrived. Apparently, it could have been more appropriately named The last couple of days of November assessment drive. But good times. Now on to article improvement!

November 28, 2007

An assessment drive is being held for the month of December. The instructions explain what is needed. Awards will be handed out in early January for those editors who assess the most articles, and a special treat for everyone who participates. Any articles assessed in the last days of November will still count. Participants should keep track of their assessments here.

Project creation completed faster than anticipated.
