We decided to add cards for authors only after we had at least 2 works from them (but their works, like Einstein's Why Socialism, are available in other topic cards). I agree though that it really helps having notable figures like MLK and Einstein appear on the encyclopedia.

Gathering collections of these notable figures, even if they don't have "works" per se to reference, is still a really valuable way to portray socialism. A massive page full of notable figures and links to their various support for socialism alongside the academic content would have a strong effect on left-leaning libs that are riddled with anti-communist brainworms. Being bombarded with a large swarm of things they didn't know about figures that they already consider to be "the good people" will have a rubbing off effect on the ones they are uneasy about, such as Stalin and Mao here. I am obviously not telling you guys how to do your work but I see the way you're displaying it and see a massive opportunity.

I would genuinely link to prolewiki regularly if it included this stuff with that presentation, because it would reinforce existing propaganda patterns I already perform when I'm trying to turn the baby-leftists(not intended as an insult) into proper leftists and prevent them turning down the anti-communist paths.

You could make a page named something like "Supporters of socialism" with these people in it and what they said about socialism etc for example

That's the thing, I don't think it should be separated. I big long massive page of pictures of people they know but didn't know were supporters of communism/socialism all in one place is how you get it to be significantly more powerful to people.
