Welcome to the Literature Wikiproject main page. This project is devoted to increasing the quality of articles dealing with general Literature subjects, literary criticism, and literary terms or genres which encompass several different types of writing. Anyone is invited to join in the effort by adding their name to the members list. A list of current jobs needing to be done can be found in the to do section. We call special attention to our current effort to gather new members and determine project scope and status.
For information on assessments of articles within the scope of the project please go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Literature/Assessment. For deletion discussions related to literature, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Literature.

[edit] Departments
The assessment department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Literature articles. The article ratings are used within the project to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.
The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in a set of categories that serves as the basis for an automatically generated worklist.
[edit] Collaboration
The project's Collaboration department seeks to identify particular articles that would benefit from a significant collaborative effort. A single article is selected as the focus, and the project attempts to improve it, potentially to featured article standards. The current collaboration article is Literature.
Any Literature article is eligible, and everyone is invited to nominate articles.
