[WikiEN-l] Is Wikipedia dying?

Or pick a stub from a blue link on this list and expand it:

Dunno quite why I did that list, but I was curious as to how many
Wikipedia articles there would be for the people listed at the author
list for that journal (Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural
History). Turns out the answer is "quite a lot". I'm impressed,
actually.

Some of the names are eye-catching as well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bashford_Dean
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outram_Bangs

I would say to people wanting to help improve articles, is to find
something you are interested in, and start from there. There's no
shortage of things to do.
