approved cabal for improvement

Several Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving the quality of Wikipedia's Quality Articles, namely Good Articles (GA) and Featured articles (FA). This page and its subpages contain suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.

As of 29 April 2015, everybody is free to post news and tips related to the improvement of articles on QAIPOST and discuss.
