[[File:5YearsHeWP02.png|thumb|Hebrew Wikipedia's 5th birthday logo]] Hebrew Wikipedia features several organized article writing projects, among them Wikitort - an academic project to write original articles about [[tort law]],<ref>[[:he:ืืืงืืคืืื:ืคืจืืืงื WIKITORT]]</ref> PhysiWiki - a project to write and improve articles about [[Physics]] with the cooperation of [[Weizmann Institute of Science]],<ref>[[:he:ืืืงืืคืืื:ืืืืื ืืืงืืคืืื/ืคืืืืืืืงื]]</ref> and ongoing academic projects.<ref>[[:he:ืืืงืืคืืื:ืขืืืืืช ืืืงืืืืืืช]]</ref> Another major topic is [[Jewish history]] and the [[History of Israel]].
