Wikipedia:WikiProject Western Australia/100 Most Influential Western Australians
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
| Δ | View recent changes to these articles. |
In December 2006, the West Australian published a list entitled the 100 Most Influential Western Australians. The list was developed by a committee including several eminent West Australian historians. It is considered that articles for each of the 100 people be considered as 'vital articles' for WikiProject Western Australia. Missing, Stub and Start class articles should be created or improved.
A discussion was held previously and archived at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Western_Australia/Archive1#Vital_articles.
