Drow on Wikipedia

Hey there. In my quest to get more Wikipedia articles up to "Good Article" status, I've gotten ambitious and decided to take on the Drow article. Yeah, call me crazy, but I'm going to do it. I've put a bunch of work into the AD&D 1st edition section, using the sources I had on hand (don't have Q1 so did what I could), though I probably went overboard and will need to trim back a bit. I'm going to start on the 2nd edition section soon, but I would appreciate any help you or anyone you know can give towards building up the publication history properly, finding sources, checking for inaccuracies and completeness, etc. I'd especially need help in bulking up the novels section, as I don't have any of these. Any help you can give, even as a cheering section, would be appreciated.

We can get this done... if you haven't seen what we've done already, previous successes include Dragonlance, Drizzt Do'Urden, Dwellers of the Forbidden City, Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, Forgotten Realms, Gary Gygax, Planescape: Torment, The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth, Tomb of Horrors, White Plume Mountain, and Wizards of the Coast.

Tell me about it; I laregely skimmed the modules and that took a great deal of time, as I was taking notes.

Got those a while back, but wanted to start with T-4. That thing was so massive, I just gave up. I do wish I'd gotten some of the old Planescape stuff at some point, though.

Heh I've got something else going on over there right now that I'll tell you about later (although, I'm sure with the tiniest bit of investigation you'd figure it out). When that's over, I'm going to work on getting the Dave Arneson article to GA, and then come back to working on the drow article.
