Summary of Featured Articles and Good Articles

In order to become a featured article, you must obtain the little bronze star that would be placed in the upper right corner of the article page. When that bronze star is observed on the top right corner, then you know that it is a featured article. A featured article is one that shows the best that Wikipedia has to offer in that it is the end result (or polished as they call it) of a collaborative effort to create an article that gives the best information that is possible by the users that helped to contribute. It showcases what Wikipedia is all about and can be seen as an example for the rest of the articles.

As far as I can tell, on the WikiProject-Meteorlogy homepage, there is a scale in which the articles are being rated. With FA being the highest, A, then GA, B, Start, Stub, Current, and needed. By looking at the number of articles in each quality category, it looks like this project is really struggling with A and FA rated articles with most lying in the start and stub regions of quality.


Wiki Project Proposal

Currently I am considering doing my wiki project on the mesoscale phenomena of microburst winds. I have been fascinated with the way in which microburst winds have caused severe damage in a relatively small area. I am also intrigued by the pure divergence outflow that is also seen with some microbursts.
