Good article candidatesWikipedia:Good articles is a list of articles considered to be of good quality but which are unlikely to be suitable featured article candidates. The system is unbureaucratic: everyone can nominate good articles. Anyone who shows understanding of the criteria and the instructions below can review an article, as long as you are not a major contributor to the article being reviewed. Reviewers should understand the differences between the criteria for a good article and those for a featured article (a comparison is available). This list is for proposing possible promotion of articles to the community for consideration. (Consider joining the GA-nominee task force if you are doing lots of reviewing.) Please list yourself and, if you like, your special interests in the list of participants reviewing good article candidates if you're interested in joining. |
