By Arknascar44

WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles is a WikiProject that was formed to better organize the creation of articles that exist in other notable encyclopedias, including print encyclopedias and other language Wikipedias, that should exist in the English Wikipedia. After the project was started by Bluemoose (talk · contribs) on 11 June 2005, it grew quickly, and currently has 186 active and committed members. It, to date, has compiled several lists of articles to be created from around 70 encyclopedic sources and journals. The project's most significant milestone to date was achieved on 27 February, 2006, when the last of the 14,707 missing Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition articles was finally added to Wikipedia.

Article lists

The Missing encyclopedic articles project has a number of lists with articles that are in other encyclopedias. They include, but are not limited to:

How to help

The project is currently about 57.7% complete with article creation, and could always use more help. If you are interested, you can add your name to its members list, or add the project's userbox, {{User WikiProject Missing}}, to your userpage.
