A '''good article nomination''' (GAN) is a Wikipedia article that is to be evaluated against the [[Wikipedia:Good article criteria|good article criteria]] in order to become a [[Wikipedia:Good article|good article]] (GA). The standard of quality for good articles is less than that for [[WP:Featured articles|featured articles]]. Here is the complete list of good article nominations: there are currently '''{{GAN counter|Nom}}''' nominations listed, of which '''{{GAN counter|Wait}}''' are waiting to be reviewed. |
|||
Any significant contributor to an article may '''nominate''' it, and any uninvolved and registered user with sufficient knowledge and experience with Wikipedia may '''review''' the nominated article against the good article criteria. A responsive nominator and reviewer can complete a review in about seven days. Nominators should respond positively to constructive criticism and work with the reviewer to improve the article (if there are any issues) to good article status. If the article is promoted, a small plus sign inside a circle {{nowrap|([[File:Symbol support vote.svg|15px|This symbol designates good articles on Wikipedia.]])}} will appear on the top right corner of the article's page indicating that the article is good. |

[[Wikipedia:Good articles]] is a list of articles that meet a core set of editorial standards but are not [[WP:FA|featured article]] quality. The [[WP:Good article nominations|Good article nominations]] page provides a list of articles which have been nominated for Good article status, as well as instructions for nominators and reviewers. Articles can be '''nominated by anyone''', and '''reviewed by any registered user''' who has not contributed significantly to the article. There are currently '''{{GAN counter|Nom}}''' nominations listed and '''{{GAN counter|Wait}}''' waiting to be reviewed. |

|||
=== How to nominate an article === |
|||
If you believe an article meets the [[WP:GACR|Good article criteria]], you may nominate it in the following way (please read the '''[[Wikipedia:guide for nominating good articles|guide for nominating good articles]]''' for further advice): |
|||
# Find the most appropriate subsection/subtopic from those listed on the right. If you are not sure which subsection is best, use "Miscellaneous". |
|||
# Add '''{{tlsx|GAN|2=subtopic='''''name of the '''subsection''' on this page where the article is to be listed'''''}}''' to the top of the nominated article's [[Wikipedia:Talk page|talk page]]. |
|||
If you've completed these two steps successfully, a bot will post your nomination on this page within 20 minutes. |
|||
It may take several weeks for your nomination to be reviewed, as there are usually many open nominations. '''Do not''' start the review page yourself as this may lead other reviewers to believe that your nomination is already under review. If you are a registered user, you are encouraged to help by reviewing other articles. |
|||
To leave a '''note''' related to the review, edit the <code>note</code> parameter of {{tl|GA nominee}} on the article talk page. For example: {{tlx|GA nominee|...|3=note=I might not be able to respond to the review until next week. <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>}} This note will appear beneath the article's entry on this page. |
|||
To '''withdraw''' a nomination '''before''' the review has begun, remove the {{tl|GA nominee}} from the article talk page. If you wish to withdraw a nomination '''after''' the review has begun, then the nomination must be closed using the '''[[#Fail|fail]]''' process to record the outcome of the review. |
|||
Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article prior to a nomination. |

=== How to review an article === |
|||
When choosing an article to review, keep in mind: |
|||
* that only registered users may review articles—make sure you are logged in; |
|||
* you cannot review an article if you are the nominator or have made significant contributions to it prior to the review; |
|||
* you should not pass an article that was put on hold by another editor without assessing the problem; |
|||
* nominations towards the tops of the lists are older, and should be given higher priority, except where the nominator has other articles under review. |
|||
# Start a review page, either by following the '''start review''' link in the nomination's entry on this page, or by using the link from the template on the article talk page. If you wish, you can add an initial review or other remarks to the bottom of the review page before saving it. A bot will change the Good article nominations page to indicate that you are reviewing the article. |
|||
# Before reading the article in detail, check it for [[Wikipedia:Reviewing good articles#First things to look for|immediate problems]]. If you believe a detailed review is premature, add your reasons to the review page and use the '''[[#Fail|fail]]''' process; otherwise continue with the next steps. |
|||
# Read the whole article, and decide whether it should '''[[#Pass|pass]]''' or '''[[#Fail|fail]]''' based on the [[Wikipedia:Good article criteria|Good article criteria]]. You can also put the article "'''[[#On hold|on hold]]'''" or ask for a '''[[#Second opinion|second opinion]]'''. |
|||
# Provide a review of the article on the review page detailing what criteria it does not meet. You can use [[Wikipedia:Good article nominations/templates|these templates]] if you wish and must inform the nominator of your actions. |
|||
:: When the article meets the [[WP:WIAGA|Good article criteria]] note that on the review page. If a problem is easy to resolve, you are encouraged (but not required) to [[WP:Be bold|be bold]] and fix it yourself. You might also like to consider making suggestions for further improvements if appropriate. |
|||
'''''Review carefully'''''—see '''[[Wikipedia:Reviewing good articles]]''' for more advice or you can ask questions at the '''[[Wikipedia:Good article help|Good article help desk]]'''. |

A good article nomination (GAN) is a Wikipedia article that is to be evaluated against the good article criteria in order to become a good article (GA). The standard of quality for good articles is less than that for featured articles. Here is the complete list of good article nominations: there are currently 657 nominations listed, of which 539 are waiting to be reviewed.
Any significant contributor to an article may nominate it, and any uninvolved and registered user with sufficient knowledge and experience with Wikipedia may review the nominated article against the good article criteria. A responsive nominator and reviewer can complete a review in about seven days. Nominators should respond positively to constructive criticism and work with the reviewer to improve the article (if there are any issues) to good article status. If the article is promoted, a small plus sign inside a circle (
) will appear on the top right corner of the article's page indicating that the article is good.
To nominate or review an article, follow the instructions. Similarly, to delist an article which no longer meets the good article criteria, follow the instructions for reassessment.
