Good article nominations

Good article nominations
Good article nominations

Wikipedia:Good articles is a list of articles that meet a core set of editorial standards but are not featured article quality. This page provides a list of articles which have been nominated for consideration 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 617 nominations listed and 498 waiting to be reviewed.

How to nominate an article

If you believe an article meets the good article criteria, you may nominate it below. Before nominating, you may want to read the guide for nominating good articles.

The nomination process has two steps:

  1. Find the most appropriate subsection from those listed on the right. If you are not sure which section is best, use "Miscellaneous".
  2. Add {{subst:GAN|subtopic=name of the subsection on this page where the article is to be listed}} to the top of the nominated article's talk page.

If you've completed those two steps, then you have successfully put your article up for Good article nomination. A bot will post your nomination on this page within 15 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.

Notes: To leave a note related to the review, edit the note parameter of {{GA nominee}}. For example: {{GA nominee|...|note=I might not be able to respond to the review until next week. ~~~~}} This note will appear beneath the article's entry on this page.

Nomination categories

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 have made significant contributions to it prior to the review, nor can you review an article if you are the nominator.
  • 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.
  1. On the article talk page, follow the link in the {{GA nominee}} template to start a review subpage. Leave an initial comment, and save that subpage.
  2. Check the "quick-fail criteria" before reading the article in detail: if a quick fail is appropriate, add your reason to the review page and go to the fail process; otherwise continue with the next step.
  3. Read the whole article, and decide whether it should pass or fail based on the criteria listed here. You can also put the article "on hold" or ask for a second opinion. If you wish, you can inform the nominator of your actions (e.g., using {{subst:GANotice}}). The template {{subst:FGAN}} may help you organize the critique. You can also use {{subst:GAList}} or {{subst:GAList2}} to generate a checklist.
  4. Reviewers are encouraged (but not required) to fix problems with the article under review.

Review carefully—see Wikipedia:Reviewing good articles for more suggestions. You may also ask for the advice of a mentor.

Pass

If you feel the article meets the Good article criteria:

  1. Ensure you have provided a detailed review of the article, giving an overview of how you believe it fulfills the Good article criteria, with suggestions to improve it if you can. Please also encourage the successful nominator(s) to review an article themselves.
  2. Replace {{GA nominee}} on the article's talk page with {{GA|~~~~~|topic=|page=}}.[1] Please include "GA" in your edit summary.
  3. Add the {{Good article}} template at the bottom of the article.
  4. List the article on Wikipedia:Good articles under the appropriate section.[2]

Fail

If you feel the article does not meet the Good article criteria:

  1. If the problem is easy to resolve, it might be better to be bold and fix it yourself. Otherwise state which criteria were not met on the article's talk page. Please detail the article's flaws to help other editors improve the article for another GA nomination.
  2. Replace {{GA nominee}} on the article's talk page with {{FailedGA|~~~~~|topic=|page=}}.[1] Please include "GA" in your edit summary.

On hold

You may put an article "On Hold" for a period of time:

  1. On the talk page of the article set the GAN status parameter to "onhold", as in {{GA nominee|...|status=onhold}}
  2. Don't forget to specify on the review page what needs to be done.

Second opinion

If you are unsure whether an article meets the Good article criteria, you may ask another reviewer or subject expert for a second opinion:

  1. On the talk page of the article set the GAN status parameter to "2ndopinion" as in {{GA nominee|...|status=2ndopinion}}
  2. Don't forget to specify on the review page what needs to be done.
  1. ^ a b The five tildes supply the date of the review. The topic parameter refers to the topic abbreviations used on the GA page, but the template automatically converts GAN subtopics into GA topics, so reviewers can simply copy the parameter value from one template to the other. "Page" should be the number of the review subpage (that is, the n in {{Talk:ArticleName/GAn}}).
  2. ^ You may also want to update any WikiProject templates on the article talk page, but this is optional. You do not need to update the "recently listed good articles" page: this will be done automatically by a bot.
