This page exists to help me focus my efforts on improving Wikipedia's overall coverage of gamma-ray bursts rather than just individual articles. Jump in if you're interested!
- Phase 1—Foundation
Complete
Establish a solid background article and at least one good example of an individual burst article.
- Phase 2—Population
Doing...
Expand overall coverage by creating and improving articles on significant bursts.
- GRB 670702 - First GRB
- GRB 790305b - First magnetar giant flare, first GRB with periodic light curve
GRB 970228 - First afterglow- GRB 970508 - First redshift

- Phase 3—Solidification
Not done
Use information from individual burst articles to improve support articles:
- List of gamma-ray bursts
- History of gamma-ray burst research
- Gamma-ray burst progenitors
- Gamma-ray burst emission mechanisms
- Phase 4—Peripherals Not done
Improve peripheral articles, such as astronomers, theorists, research groups, and instruments.
- Compton Gamma Ray Observatory
- Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Mission
- BeppoSAX
- Bohdan Paczyński
- Dale Frail
- Afterglow (gamma ray burst)
- Phase 5—Maintenance Not done
Continue to update existing articles and create new ones as more information becomes available.
