From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of basic subjects for which the English Wikipedia should have a corresponding featured article. It should include the same articles as m:List of articles all languages should have. That is the supposedly canonical list — changes should be made there if possible. Due to English Wikipedia having all the articles, this list now serves as a guide for featured articles.
The version on Meta is also reproduced at Wikipedia:Vital articles/Expanded.
There are currently 908 articles on this list. All these articles exist on en:, but ideally, Wikipedia 1.0 should have all these articles up to featured quality. Many of these have a long way to go. Please work on improving as needed. Articles that are already on Wikipedia:Featured articles are marked with a star (); articles that are considered Good articles are marked with a green circle (). Articles that are currently stubs or have cleanup tags on them and thus need to be improved as soon as possible are marked in bold.
