So I scoured Wikipedia looking for people/things related to OU that was not in a proper category and/or not apart of this project. I tagged many articles so now we have to improve them. –Nmajdan (talk · contribs)

This WikiProject has been formed and I'm still working on creating all the required subpages. I'm also in the process of tagging related articles. If you have anything to add to the pages, just press the "EDIT" button in the top-right hand corner of the frame, enter your content, and save the page. Please do NOT edit this main page unless you know what you are doing. Happy editing! –Nmajdan (talk · contribs)
