This page details the progress of the WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles. It is intended to give a general overview of the contribution and progress of this project. While it is regularly updated, it may not be completely up to date. Check the individual project pages for a more accurate estimate of progress. Greyed out projects have been completed. Through the life of this project about 290,000 links have been verified and removed or about 225 per day. (Estimate based on June 26, 2007 numbers).

Estimates for finish dates may be very inaccurate for inactive projects and are optimistic for projects that require pruning of an initial list.
