When operational, KrinkleBot cascade-protects Commons files transcluded at Wikipedia:Main Page/Tomorrow, Wikipedia:Main Page/Commons media protection and Main Page.

A good Wikipedia article should cover all the important aspects of a topic, without putting too much weight on one part while neglecting another. Is the article's content relevant to the topic? Is the content up-to-date? Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong? Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps?

As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia's mission is to provide the public with articles that summarize accepted knowledge, written neutrally and sourced reliably. Readers expect to find neutral articles written independently of their subject, not corporate or personal webpages, or platforms for advertising and self-promotion.
Articles which are linked to from many places generally cover important topics. They are likely to be read often and therefore should be of the highest quality. It may also be the case that such a popular article covers too broad a topic and could benefit from being split into several more concise entries.
Finding a Start-class article is easy as it is the most numerous on Wikipedia. Therefore, the most problematic ones can be found at Wikipedia:Cleanup, Template:Opentask, Category:Wikipedia pages with to-do lists, and Category:Articles needing attention.
