"Knowing I lov'd my books, he furnish'd me
From mine own library with volumes that
I prize above my dukedom."

Departments edit

Assessment edit

The assessment department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Literature articles. The article ratings are used within the project to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in a set of categories that serves as the basis for an automatically generated worklist.

Collaboration edit

The project's Collaboration department seeks to identify particular articles that would benefit from a significant collaborative effort. A single article is selected as the focus, and the project attempts to improve it, potentially to featured article standards. The current collaboration article is Literature.

Any Literature article is eligible, and everyone is invited to nominate articles.

Task forces edit

Task forces are informal groups of editors gathered for collaborative work on a particular topic within the field of Literature (as defined in the "scope" above); all project members are encouraged to participate in any task forces that interest them.

Recognized content edit

This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk · contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged (e.g. {{WikiProject Literature}}) or categorized correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options.
