Welcome to Wikiproject Vital Articles! The goal of this project is to better organize Wikipedia's "vital articles." This page and its subpages can be used to focus our efforts to better cover this critical area of the project. Many of Wikipedia's most-visited pages are in need of much cleanup and maintenance. It is essential to keep these articles up-to-date. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the goals and tasks below.

The scope of this project is to improve the coverage and quality of all vital articles, including those at: the standard vital articles list, the vital 100, the vital 10, the expanded list of 10,000 articles and the under-construction list of 50,000 articles. A number of these need cleanup and reorganization, and we hope to coordinate those efforts in conjunction with the articles' own WikiProjects to make Wikipedia a more useful resource for general information.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

Goals
[edit]
The project aims primarily to:
  1. Get the vital articles lists completed and up to date; see talk page.
  2. Tag all vital articles' talk pages with {{VA}}, and assess them using that template (see its documentation for details).
  3. Maintain those articles. Try to keep them free of cleanup templates or other problems.
  4. Increase the quality of them. These articles are some of the most important in Wikipedia; they should all be at least GA-Class.
  5. Update the "Featured Content" of this page to include all applicable articles.
