a group of contributors who want to work together as a team to improve Wikipedia.

These groups may focus on a specific topic area (for example, women's history), a
specific location or a specific kind of task (for example, checking newly created
pages). As of August 2022, the English Wikipedia had over 2,000 WikiProjects, for
which activity varied.[38]

In 2007, in preparation for producing a print version, the English Wikipedia

introduced an assessment scale of the quality of articles.[39] Articles are rated
by WikiProjects. The range of quality classes begins with "Stub" (very short
pages), followed by "Start", "C" and "B" (in increasing order of quality).
Community peer review is needed for the article to enter one of the quality
classes: either "good article", "A" or the highest, "featured article". Of the
about 6.5 million articles and lists assessed as of April 2022, more than 6,000
(0.09%) are featured articles, and fewer than 4,000 (0.06%) are featured lists. One
featured article per day, as selected by editors, appears on the main page of
Wikipedia.[40][41]

The Wikipedia Version 1.0 Editorial Team has developed a table (shown below) that
displays data of all rated articles by quality and importance, on the English
Wikipedia. If an article or list receives different ratings by two or more
WikiProjects, then the highest rating is used in the table, pie-charts, and bar-
chart. The software auto-updates the data.

Researcher Giacomo Poderi found that articles tend to reach featured status via the
intensive work of a few editors.[42] A 2010 study found unevenness in quality among
featured articles and concluded that the community process is ineffective in
assessing the quality of articles.[43]
