User:The Anome/Names in the Dictionary of African Biography


 * Goal #1: add names to List of missing Africa topics
 * Goal #2: point each individual African-country WikiProject at the relevant section of that list, since it will have a lot of new entries in it.
 * Goal #3: add names to List of encyclopedia topics


 * Open task: scan bluelinks for links to disambigs / non-people articles (eg places with same name), and generate appropriate placeholders of the form Name (person, Country)
 * Open task: generate search links for redlinks and these disambig bluelinks.

See also User:The Anome/Names in the Dictionary of African Biography/Redlinked women only for a more focused list of only articles on women which are currently redlinked.


 * Open task: merge that list into WikiProject Women's History/Requested articles.
