=== 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.
