; Project news

The project was reenergized one week ago today and went from over 100 articles tagged to over 1300! Great work everyone!
People are joining us almost every day now. These project banners help with this!
A new parameter was added to our project banner living=yes, which will add the WP:BLP disclaimer to the top.
Two new departments have been added: Translation and Vandalism. Check them out and join if it interests you...
Another new department has been added, Biography Portal upkeep! The featured article on this FA portal has not been updated since May 23. We certainly have enough FA and GA articles to keep this rotated more often. Please join this effort to highlight all of our hard work!

; Current proposals and discussions

A draft of how our task force pages will look has been created. Comments and feedback welcome! If no one else objects, then I will make the other ones for the task forces that got votes.
Need people to be bold and pitch in and help with any peer reviews that get added. These are articles that fellow members have asked us to give feedback on.... We already have three requests, and only 2 have been reviewed (and by only one person). Also, a more informal task is assessing the class of an article that fellow members have requested.
Task force nominations still open, please vote!
Nominate an article for Collaboration of the Fortnight
Non-Americans and non-Western world members desperately needed on the Core biographies talk page to help iron out the top 150 bios. Please first weigh in on the discussion about fine tuning the "Top" definition before voting though.
