Welcome to Articles for improvement!

(And you thought all the juicy articles had already been written...)

We identify and collaborate upon underdeveloped articles that require improvement. Our goal is to use widespread collaborative editing to improve articles over a short time frame. So far, we have improved hundreds of articles; some have even been promoted to goodorfeatured article status! Boldly edit the current article for improvement, or join the project today!

This week's article for improvement is:

National economy (Turkey)

Previous selections: State of emergency · Sun Management Center · News program


How to contribute[edit]

  • Check out the project's Articles for improvement page. Just start editing and help to improve our selected articles!
  • You can nominate an article for us to work on.
  • You may join the project by adding your name to the members list, and can sign up for weekly notices.
  • If you have any questions, please feel free to ask at our talk page, and also at the TeahouseorHelp desk.
  • If you are new to Wikipedia, you may find Wikipedia's tutorial useful - it covers the basics of Wikipedia in under an hour.
  • Be bold! Articles here can be edited at any time by all users, regardless of project membership status.

Goals[edit]

The project's four main tasks are to:

  • Coordinate and collaborate to improve articles.
  • Identify candidate articles.
  • Select the order they appear on the community portal in the Articles for improvement section.
  • Assess and track our accomplishments.

Project organisation[edit]

Process[edit]

Articles follow the following process to be selected as an Article For Improvement:

Nominations page Articles list
Schedule
  1. Articles are submitted and approved by participating editors on the nominations page.
  2. Successful nominations are listed on the articles list. Articles on that page can be improved at any time.
  3. One article is randomly selected from the list of articles each week, which is placed in the schedule.
  4. A few weeks later, it's that article's turn to be the week's selected AFI article!

    Members[edit]

    The project member list is located at the Members page.

    Assessment[edit]

    Our assessment criteria and procedure are explained on the Assessment page. Like many other WikiProjects, AFI assesses the articles it is involved with. Unlike other projects, we only assess the article's state before and immediately after its week of collaborative editing – that improvement is one (but not the only) measure of our success.

    Automation and templates[edit]

    AFI makes use of various templates. See the Automation page for details, including banners, talk page messages, user and project maintenance templates. The project's bot tasks are also listed here, currently undertaken by MusikBot.

    Research[edit]

    Archives[edit]

    The Articles for Improvement archives are split over several pages:

    • Nominations (including both successful and failed nominations)
    • Scheduled pages that appeared as the AFI
    • Holding area (historical, 2013–2015), consisting of articles that were successfully nominated but never selected as the AFI

    The accomplishments page also includes a record of selections since 2013 alongside other information. Some archives of a predecessor version of this project that existed c. 2012 are located as subpages. This project was previously known as "Today's article for improvement" (TAFI), and there may be a few remnants of the renaming in places.
