'''What are core articles?''' Core articles are our top priority articles – articles that are most in demand and most important for us to include in an encyclopedia that has any hope of being comprehensive.
 
These are the highest priority articles items for the Literature Workgroup, though they have not yet been finalized by a Workgroup editor. In order to keep the list manageable, this list should be contain no more than about 200 items total. Thus only those articles should be added which can reasonably be considered of ''paramount'' importance for the Literature WG.

The bar graph to the left of those articles which have substantive content (blue link) indicates the level of completeness of the article.

==Categories and subgroups==
== Help plan Literature Week! ==
While these high-level categories may have their uses in terms of lateral organization -- each, presumably, would involve a sub-group of editors and authors fluent in the requisite language(s) -- for the time being I think we would do better to see what areas of interest current editors and authors have, and set about working on articles.  Ad-hoc working subgroups could then be created as needed if, for instance, a group of people working on Victoria literature, or the Epic, or the poetry of Languedoc, or graphic novels, or whatever.  In other words, I think for now we should write 'from the bottom up' as it were.  There may also be a need to edit from the top down at some point, but this will be far easier once we've all done some work on specific articles together.

Workgroups are no longer used for group communications, but they still are used to group articles into fields of interest. Each article is assigned to 1-3 Workgroups via the article's Metadata.
