Welcome to Quality Article 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.

• 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.
• Improving and proper use of referencing, infoboxes and other 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.
• Project members go for "reformation, for elucidating love and study, for a free project that everybody can edit without petty restrictions, for peace".

• Good Articles, their nominations, review and maintenance
• Featured article candidates
• Featured articles
• Today's featured article requests
• Infoboxes and navboxes (added 4 August 2013, forgotten when goals were updated. We are merrily unorganized.)
• Translation from and to other languages (added 30 April 2015)
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Women (added 30 August 2015, several members are female, and the others also care about more coverage of women on Wikipedia)

Please feel free to add yourself here, and to indicate any areas of particular interest. Members may add the category Category:WikiProject Quality articles to their user page. For something like a userbox, try the {{User QAIbox}} and be creative, - you do it yourself.

19. SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼  01:28, 20 November 2015 (UTC) Yeah, I spend much more time on WP improving existing articles that creating new ones. We need better articles more than we need yet another article about some minor actor, or regionally quasi-famous band, or disputed subspecies of microbe. Most of the important articles already exist, but many of them are crap, and many that reach GA or FA don't stay there but become crappy again over time.[reply]
