This project has been mostly replaced by Today's articles for improvement.

This page in a nutshell: Spotlight is meant to highlight an article for one week, and attempt to improve it via live discussion in our IRC channel.

Shortcut WP:SPOT

The article currently under the Spotlight is at [[Wikipedia:Spotlight/suggestions|Suggested articles]].

Please add your name to the participants here, and suggest articles here.

• You'll know if your page is being looked at by Spotlight by the template on the top of the talk page, and the page will have the Wikipedia Spotlight category.
• The current article will be tagged with {{Spotlight}} on the talk page. That template auto-detects which namespace it is in, and adds the appropriate text.
• After completion, {{Spotlighted|date}} will be placed on the talk page.
• When working on the article, please put {{Spotlight working|~~~~~}} within the section that you are working on.
