Alongside each biography of an academic, we've suggested a few field-specific articles and general interest, vital articles to incorporate relevant scholarship into. Vital articles are lists of subjects for which the English Wikipedia should have corresponding featured-class articles. They serve as centralized watchlists to track the quality status of Wikipedia's most important articles and to give editors guidance on which articles to prioritize for improvement. Additionally, scholars and topics linked in 'red' are articles that have yet to be created on Wikipedia.
Sign up hereAdd your username, goals for article creation, and any specific articles you'll be working on below, alongside your name and a goal or goals you aim to achieve by the end of the month. Additionally, if you plan to collaborate on an article with another participant or participants you may opt to list collaborators and/or invite others to join you.
