Anyone may nominate or review an article by following the instructions. If it is accepted by the reviewer, the nominated article is added to the list of good articles below.

Another editor may review the article after selecting it from a queue of good article nominations then evaluating it against the good article criteria.

Any editor who believes that an article they have significantly contributed to meets the good article criteria may nominate the article for an impartial reviewer to assess. The process for designating an article as a good article is intentionally straightforward. A small plus sign inside a circle ( ) in the top-right corner of an article's page indicates that the article is good. Adding good and featured articles and lists together gives a total of 47,884 articles (about 1 in 139). Because articles are only included in one category, a good article that has been promoted to featured status is removed from the good articles category. An additional 6,231 are listed as featured articles (about 1 in 1,070) and 4,079 as featured lists (about 1 in 1,630). Good articles do not have to be as comprehensive as featured articles (FA), but they should not omit any major facets of the topic: a comparison of the criteria for good and featured articles describes further differences.Ĭurrently, out of the 6,633,906 articles on Wikipedia, 37,574 are categorized as good articles (about 1 in 177), most of which are listed below. They are well-written, contain factually accurate and verifiable information, are broad in coverage, neutral in point of view, stable, and illustrated, where possible, by relevant images with suitable copyright licenses.

A good article (GA) is an article that meets a core set of editorial standards, the good article criteria, passing through the good article nomination process successfully.
