Wikipedia:Version 0.5 Biography Review
![]() This page is designed to facilitate the nomination and review process of core biographies for Wikipedia:Version 0.5 (V0.5), the test CD release designed to pave the way for Wikipedia:Version 1.0. Reviewers from the review team are encouraged to sign up for subject sections that interest them. It is also possible to share responsibility for a section in order to split up the workload. Reviewers first check which articles have already been passed. Then they will aim to review all core biographies within their area of interest by September 30, 2006. This will allow core biographies to bypass the general V0.5 nomination page going straight from this page to the main Version 0.5 page once approved. Criteria[edit]All articles of B-Class quality or better (according to the assessment grades) are acceptable. As these have already been identified as core biographies, most should pass on importance. Everyone listed here must have had a large impact outside of their main discipline, across several generations, and in the majority of the world. However, if you feel strongly that an article does not pass on importance, it can be excluded with the agreement of two other editors under #Importance review. Reviewer sign-up[edit]Please sign your name up if you are going to work on one or more sections. These must be reviewed by the end of September. Arts and entertainment, 58 Writers, 29
Politicians and leaders, 53 Asia and Africa, 17 Europe, 29
Inventors and scientists, 32 Philosophers, 18

Importance review
[edit]If you think an article from your section is too obscure to be included, please list it here and sign. If two others agree and sign, and no one disagrees, strikeout the article name (using <s> and </s>) and leave a comment such as "scope" or "importance". If one reviewer disagrees, the article should be included in V0.5.
