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 [[meta:List of articles every Wikipedia should have|list of articles every Wikipedia should have]], they are tailored to the English Wikipedia and are actively maintained by the dedicated [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Vital Articles|WikiProject Vital Articles]]. '''This page contains the 1,000 articles of the Level 3 list.'''

Any addition to or removal from this list should only be made after a discussion on the [[Wikipedia talk:Vital articles/Level/3|Level 3 talk page]].
