Wikipedia:WikiProject Astronomy/Worklist

This is a list of the most important astronomy articles. All should eventually become either featured articles or good articles. Please work on bringing these articles up to good or featured standards! The standards required are given at Wikipedia:What is a featured article? and Wikipedia:What is a good article?.

Note that the worklists for specific, named astronomical objects (and their sub-pages) is available at: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Astronomical_objects/Worklist.

Edits

Table rows can be added with {{astro-todo-item|section|article|status|remarks}}. Under Status put FA for Featured Article, A for A-Class, GA for Good Article, B for B-Class, and norefs to indicate an article that needs references.
