Revision as of 21:14, 29 November 2007
Here we determine which articles are featured on Wikipedia:Featured articles. A featured article exemplifies Wikipedia's very best work and meets the featured article criteria.
Before nominating an article here, you may wish to receive feedback by listing it at Wikipedia:Peer review. Nominators are expected to make an effort to address objections. If you have worked on the article you nominate, note it as a "self-nomination". An article should not be a featured article candidate and at the same time be nominated for peer review or as good article candidate. Users are asked not to add a second nomination here until the first has gained support and concerns have been substantially addressed. Do not split a FAC page into subsections, which will cause problems in its archiving (if necessary, use bolded headings). Please respond positively to constructive criticism. For a nomination to be promoted to featured article status, consensus must be reached that it meets the criteria. Consensus is built among the reviewers and nominators, and the featured article director (Raul654) determines whether there is consensus. If, after sufficient time, objections considered actionable by the director have not been resolved or consensus for promotion has not been reached, a nomination will be removed from the list and archived. The director determines the timing of the process for each nomination. If a nominator finds that objectors are not returning to the FAC to revisit improvements, that should be noted on the nomination, with a diff. A bot will update the article talk page after the article is promoted or the nomination archived. |
