I am really glad to hear about the collaboration, the content on literature on Wikipedia is decidedly poor. Might I suggest that the articles that we work on in the third group, not be author pages, but rather individual works. Some of the most important literary works in the English language are c class or lower, with an emphasis not on their actual implications and meaning but rather on plot summaries and characters summaries, both largely unimportant in the grand scheme of literary criticism and secondary analysis of literature. I am excited to participate!

Registration for this collaboration event at the British Library has opened today and has yet to be promoted to the general public. Sign up early if you would like to take advantage of full access to the English and Drama unique collections (some of the archives suggested have yet to be officially catalogued) with supporting advice from the UK's leading curators and researchers who are eager to help improve Wikipedia's (and sister projects) depth of coverage.

This sounds very interesting! Are you looking for topic specialists in particular, or...?
