Wikipedia:Vital articles/Level/3
Curated list of the 1,000 most vital articles on the English Wikipedia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The five nested vital article Levels are meant to give direction to the prioritization of improvements of English Wikipedia articles (e.g. which articles to bring to WP:GA and WP:FA status), to provide a measurement of quality of overall English Wikipedia (e.g. what proportion of the most important articles are at GA and FA status), and to serve as a centralized watchlist of English Wikipedia's most important articles. Unlike the list of articles every Wikipedia should have, they are tailored to the English Wikipedia and are actively maintained by the dedicated WikiProject Vital Articles. All users are welcome to particpate in the process of addition to or removal from these lists. This page contains the 1,000 articles of the Level 3 list. This Level 3 list is discussed at the Level 3 talk page.
