=== Departments ===
==== [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Assessment|Assessment]] ====
The assessment department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's biography articles. While much of the work is done in conjunction with the [[Wikipedia: Version 1.0 Editorial Team|WP:1.0]] program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{tl|WPBiography}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in a set of categories that serves as the basis for an automatically generated worklist.

==== [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Peer review|Peer review]] ====
The peer review department conducts peer reviews of articles on request; this helps to obtain ideas for further improvement by having contributors who may not have previously worked on particular articles examine them. Project members are invited to submit articles to the department in lieu of using the generic peer review process.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/A-class review|A-class review]]''': A-class review examined articles to ensure they met the [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment/A-Class criteria|A-class standards]]. Currently, there is a [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography/Archive/April 2008#Should A-Class review go?|freeze on promotions to A-class]].

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Collaboration|Collaboration]]''': The collaboration department sought to identify particular articles that would benefit from a significant collaborative effort. A single article was selected as the focus, and the project attempted to improve it, potentially to [[Wikipedia: What is a featured article|featured article standard]].

'''[[Wikipedia: WikiProject Biography/Outreach|Outreach]]''': The outreach department acted as the project's central point of coordination for the recruitment of new members and the production of newsletters.
