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. The 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 617 nominations listed and 498 waiting to be reviewed. |

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 To withdraw a nomination before the review has begun, remove the {{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 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. |
