  1. Tegalad (talk · contribs) - I don't know if I'm going to attempt this with you guys or not, but I am seriously looking into improving the Le Morte d'Arthur page, since it is quite awful. I really think that this page is probably the first point of call for many students and it should be as authoritative as possible.

Tasks

[edit source]

{{Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/King Arthur articles by quality statistics}}

Adopt an article

[edit source]

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article personally. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
