![]() | This is a WikiProject, an area for focused collaboration among Wikipedians. New participants are welcome; please feel free to participate!
|
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.
Goals
- Project members deal with Peer reviews, nominations for FA on Featured article candidates and nominations to appear as Today's featured article (TFA) on Today's featured article requests (TFAR). Suggestions for TFA can be placed on the project's talk page or the open list TFA.
- Improving and proper use of referencing, infoboxes and templates are areas of interest to this project. References in separate lists are preferred, for the ease of maintaining both text and references.
- Project members promote Web Content Accessibility Guidelines standards.
- The project keeps track of missed users, hoping to retain quality editors, to write quality articles.
Scope
- Good Articles, their nominations, review and maintenance
- Featured article candidates
- Featured articles
- Today's featured article requests
- Infoboxes and navboxes (added 4 August 2013, I forgot to update here when I added them under goals. We are merrily unorganized.)
