message: Came across this on the WikiMoney page and thought it sounded interesting. I do a lot of work on articles about Irish authors and wondered where you saw this going? Please clarify the aims of the project here if you have time. Filiocht 08:25, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry I took so long to reply! I created this list a long time ago when I was trying to create a comprehensive list of "famous" (the meaning being very broad here) writers and works from every continent; needless to say I gave up because it seemed trivializing, futile, endless and so on... but if you wish to revive it, I would be happy to hear about any comments you have and any additions you want to make. Cheers! -- Simonides 21:40, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: Maybe, like the Chemistry WikiProject, we could try using an importance scale and a quality scale to indicate what needs to be done and what articles are most important to get right. Ie. Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemicals/Assessment? Ben davison 23:29, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello! the Biography WikiProject has been reorganized and we wanted to see if you guys were interested in merging with us? We've reorganized it so that it's more like the Military history project with task forces for the specialized areas. One of the task forces we though we'd create would be Writers-- by merging with us and becoming a task force, you wouldn't lose anything! You'd keep your same page here, it would just be redirected to Writers task force (which we'd create) and you would continue as before, except that instead you'd also gain the benefits of being part of a larger project. We would give you a parameter to our Project banner (writers-task-force=yes) and a note would appear that says the article is a part of that task force (see example on military history article), plus having peer reviews and collaborations, and being able to grade articles by class and importance so that the articles can be part of the WP:1.0 project and much more... Let me know what you think! plange 17:39, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello.  Just to let everyone know, this project, to ensure that it not be mistakenly deleted, has to have a listing of active members.  Right now, it doesn't.

message: Hello all.  Would any of you mind reviewing the Aaron Sorkin article over at FAC?  It's an excellent article about Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin and might give some of you ideas on how to improve other articles on authors.  So if you have the time come on over and do a peer review.  Thanks.-BiancaOfHell 11:58, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
