CZ:Core_Articles
What are core articles? Core articles are our top priority articles – articles that are most in demand and most important for us to include in an encyclopedia that has any hope of being comprehensive.
These are the highest priority articles items for the Literature Workgroup, though they have not yet been finalized by a Workgroup editor. In order to keep the list manageable, this list should be contain no more than about 200 items total. Thus only those articles should be added which can reasonably be considered of paramount importance for the Literature WG.
In the listings below, articles (links) rendered in blue are those articles which have at least some substantive content beyond a mere definition. Those articles rendered bold-faced link to lemma articles, which have no content beyond the bare definition only. If the link is rendered magenta, then not even a lemma article has been created. The bar graph to the left of those articles which have substantive content (blue link) indicates the level of completeness of the article.
