Articles approved for the Version 0.7 test release
Version 0.7 aims to be a collection of around 30,000 articles taken from the English version of Wikipedia, compiled by the Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team. It is designed for a DVD release in late 2008, and the selection was put together using a Selection Bot, based on criteria of quality and importance. The main bot selection was taken from around 1.5 million articles tagged by WikiProjects. There is a list of pages with cleanup tags here; we encourage projects to focus on these articles, possibly with help from our copyeditors.
To supplement the automated scheme, we also use a manual nomination system similar to the system used by Version 0.5, and the articles chosen manually are listed below. If you find or contribute to an article meeting the criteria, you can add it to the nominations page for an impartial reviewer to assess and, if successful, to add to this list. Articles are removed if they fail to meet the criteria.
The following list is manually generated, so there might be omissions. Please check the talk page of an article to see whether it has a Version 0.5 or Version 0.7 inclusion template. Such omissions should be rectified with a bot run when the final list is compiled.
Includes singers, conductors. Also see the Opera section of Theatre & Film, under Language & Literature, which should duplicate opera entries here. Maria Callas — Plácido Domingo — Arturo Toscanini
Note: This selection came via a set nomination; other sports will be equally well represented in the final release. If you wish, you may make a similar set nomination for another sport.
