PBC:Good Article

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. 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. Good articles do not have to be as comprehensive as featured articles (FA).

Currently, out of the 3,187 articles on PBC, 389 are categorized as good articles (about 1 in 9). An additional 80 are listed as featured articles (about 1 in 40) and 420 as verified articles (about 1 in 10). Adding good and featured articles and lists together gives a total of 889 articles (about 1 in 4). A small sign inside a circle () in the top-right corner of an article's page indicates that the article is good.

The process for designating an article as a good article is intentionally straightforward. Any editor, preferably one who creates or contributes to an article, who believes that the article meets the good article criteria, may nominate the article for an impartial reviewer to assess. Another editor may review the article after selecting it from a queue of good article nominations then evaluating it against the good article criteria. If it is accepted by the reviewer, the nominated article is added to the list of good articles.
