These are work lists that people can mark as theirs, to prevent overlapping the same articles. To help out, take the first batch that has not been claimed in the category you choose, and edit that section by adding your signature next to the name of the batch you are taking. The batches are randomized, so just take the next one in order rather than one from the middle or end. This will help with automatically clearing out assessed articles from the lists periodically.
Article stubs
Methodology
A list of unassessed biography articles was generated from the current category members. That list was used to select articles from the 11 February, 2007 database dump, which were then checked for the presence of templates with names of the form {{[^}]*stub}} but excluding {{sect-stub}} and {{sectstub}}. There were 40,059 such articles, of which 8,000 were selected in eight batches of 1,000 each.

New articles
Methodology
A list of unassessed biography articles was generated from the current category members. That list was compared to the contents of the 11 February, 2007 database dump, and only articles that were new (i.e. did not exist at the time of the database dump) were retained. The fact that these articles are new is not meant as implying anything about their quality. They are listed here only because they would not show up on any of the other lists, since they are not in the database dump.
