Process
Articles follow the following process to be selected as an Article For Improvement:
Articles are submitted and approved by participating editors on the nominations page.
Successful nominations are listed on the articles list . Articles on that page can be improved at any time .
One article is randomly selected from the list of articles each week, which is placed in the schedule .
A few weeks later, it's that article's turn to be the week's selected AFI article!
Some of our notable accomplishments include:

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.

The Articles for Improvement archives are split over several pages:
