Wikipedia:Featured articles
This page highlights some of the Wikipedia pages we think are particularly well-written and complete. However, since there are hundreds of thousands of articles on Wikipedia, we can't keep track of all of the great ones. If you know of an article that belongs here, please suggest it for inclusion on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates.
If you see an image that appeals to you, you can list it on Wikipedia:Featured pictures candidates.
Finally, while we think these are some of our best articles, we are always working to improve them, so be bold in updating pages.
Pages which have already been featured on the front page are listed in bold. The listing of when these articles were featured can be found at MediaWiki:Feature/Archive.
To request an article to be removed from this page, list it on Wikipedia:Featured article removal candidates.
