Featured article adaptation

I feel that the fastest way to improve this project is to focus on adapting featured articles from the English Wikipedia. These are the cream of WP's article crop, and will greatly improve the volume and quality of Wikinfo articles in the most efficient way. Plus, they tend to have lots of nice images that do not have problematic licensing issues, are well categorized, and generally have all the features we want to see in articles. When all of the FA's have gone through all of the phases, there will be a great ripple effect throughout the project, as categories and links turn blue, and templates and images begin begin to appear.

I'll be working on this in phased chunks, to avoid boredom, and increase efficiency. These phases include:

1. Adapt only the code of articles (more or less in the order they appear on the FA page at WP), and keep a list below for tracking of further work needed on them.
2. Go through the generated adapted list, and replicate redirects from WP.
3. Adapt the images and licensing/attribution info from WP or WMC.
4. Adapt templates that appear as redlinks. (I'm actually doing this now before images, as many images appear within templates)
5. Adapt categories that appear as redlinks.
6. Adapt non-featured articles that appear as redlinks in the adapted featured articles. (back to step 1)
