Good article nominations Wikipedia:Good articles is a list of articles containing excellent content, but which are unlikely to be suitable featured articles - primarily because they are not very long. The system is unbureaucratic: everyone can nominate good articles, and anyone who has not significantly contributed to an article can review it. This list is for proposing possible promotion of articles to the community for consideration. (Consider joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles if you are doing lots of reviewing!)

How to nominate a page If you believe an article to be good according to the 'Good Article' criteria: List the article at the bottom of the relevant section below using the syntax: # {{article|Article Name}} {{user|Your Username}} with an edit summary of "Nominating [[Article Name]]" If the article is longer than 32kb, add '''LONG''' to it. Add {{GAnominee|13 November 2024}} to the nominated article's talk page. When you nominate an article, please consider also choosing another article from the list to review. How to tell if an article is long To determine if an article is longer than 32kb, go to the article and click the edit tab. Articles longer than 32kb will display a length warning above the edit box; shorter articles will not.

How to review an article The process for reviewing an article is: Choose an article to review, noting: You cannot choose an article you've significantly contributed to. Nominations near the top of the lists are oldest, and should be given higher priority. Read the whole article, and decide whether it should pass or fail based on the criteria below. Review carefully—the standards of good articles are only as high as those of the most lenient reviewer! Pass If you feel the article meets the 'Good Article' criteria: Remove it from the list using the edit summary "Passed [[Article Name]]" Replace {{GAnominee}} with {{GA}} on the article's talk page, and leave a comment there. List the article on Wikipedia:Good articles under the appropriate section and update the article count at the end of the section. Fail If you feel the article does not meet the 'Good Article' criteria: Remove it from the list using the edit summary "Failed [[Article Name]]" Replace {{GAnominee}} with {{FailedGA}} on its talk page. State which criteria it failed to meet on the article's talk page. If your sole criterion for rejecting the article was a lack of appropriate references, please add the article to the Unreferenced GA Nominations list. On Hold You may put an article On Hold for up to 7 days if only minor changes or clarifications are needed. If the 7 days expire without the nominator addressing the concern, the article can be failed. To put an article on hold, copy and paste the following below the nomination entry: :'''On Hold''': Notes left on talk page. --~~~~
