@User:Mike Christie: How's this for an explanation of the +1 rule, plus IMO a more logical ordering of the overall logic?

Nominations listed on this page appear in descending order of the ratio of reviews the nominator has performed to the number of GAs they have had promoted. For example, a nomination by a nominator who has 5 GAs and has done 10 reviews is listed above a nomination by a nominator who has 10 GAs and has done 5 reviews. Above this, nominations by new nominators who have no promoted GAs appear, in descending order of the number of GA reviews they have performed.
Nominations listed on this page appear are ranked as follows: First, those by nominators who have no promoted GAs, in descending order of the number of GA reviews they have performed. Then, those by all other nominators, in descending order of the ratio of reviews they have performed to the number of GAs they have had promoted. (For ranking purposes, a single dummy review is added to the actual amount, to handicap in favor of newer reviewers.)


To nominate or review an article, follow the [[Wikipedia:Good article nominations/Instructions|instructions]]. Similarly, to '''delist''' an article which no longer meets the good article criteria, follow the [[Wikipedia:Good article reassessment|instructions for reassessment]].

Good article nominations
Good article nominations

A good article nomination (GAN) is an article that is to be evaluated against the good article criteria in order to become a good article (GA). The standard of quality for good articles is less than that for featured articles. Here is the complete list of good article nominations: there are currently 587 nominations listed, of which 488 are waiting to be reviewed.

Any significant contributor to an article may nominate it, and any uninvolved and registered user with sufficient knowledge and experience with Wikipedia may review the nominated article against the good article criteria. A responsive nominator and reviewer can complete a review in about seven days. Nominators should respond positively to constructive criticism and work with the reviewer to improve the article (if there are any issues) to good article status. If the article is promoted, a small plus sign inside a circle (This symbol designates good articles on Wikipedia.) will appear on the top right corner of the article's page indicating that the article is good.

Nominations listed on this page appear are ranked as follows: First, those by nominators who have no promoted GAs, in descending order of the number of GA reviews they have performed. Then, those by all other nominators, in descending order of the ratio of reviews they have performed to the number of GAs they have had promoted. (For ranking purposes, a single dummy review is added to the actual amount, to handicap in favor of newer reviewers.)

To nominate or review an article, follow the instructions. Similarly, to delist an article which no longer meets the good article criteria, follow the instructions for reassessment.
