The proposal may still be in development, under discussion, or in the process of gathering consensus for adoption. |
Misplaced Pages contains many good articles. However, only about 0.1% of our articles are featured articles, which have been thoroughly reviewed and designated as the very best of Misplaced Pages.
Many articles contain excellent content but are unlikely to become featured; they may be too short, or on too broad a topic, or on too specific a topic, or an a topic about which not much is known. We should endeavour to identify good content that is not likely to become featured.
- What makes a good article?
A good article will share many characteristics with featured articles, and like featured content it should be well written, factually accurate, neutral, and stable. It should definitely be referenced, and wherever possible it should contain images to illustrate it. Good articles may not be as comprehensive as our featured articles, but should not omit any major facets of the topic.
- How to list an article on 'good articles'
The process by which articles are designated as 'good' should be much simpler and quicker than that by which articles become featured. List candidate articles on Misplaced Pages:Good article candidates, where they will be reviewed, and if no-one raises any objections within 24 hours, they may be listed here. If you see an article listed here that you think is not good, you might consider being bold and removing it, leaving a note on its talk page to indicate why you think it is not good.
