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!

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