[[Image:Symbol_support_vote.svg|left|64px]]About 0.1% of Wikipedia articles are [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|Featured Articles]], which have been thoroughly reviewed and designated as the very best of Wikipedia. However, there are also many articles containing excellent content but which have not yet reached '''Featured article''' standards or are unlikely at present to become featured due to very short length. So long as they meet certain [[WP:WIAGA|quality standards]] and have passed through the [[Wikipedia:Good article candidates|Good Article nomination process]], they may be listed as '''Good articles'''. (Results of disputes may also change the makeup of the list.)


Currently, '''{{formatnum: [[Wikipedia:Good articles/Statistics|1636]]}}''' articles are listed here, of a total of {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles on Wikipedia. That means approximately 1 in {{formatnum: {{rounddown|{{#expr: {{NUMBEROFARTICLES:R}} / 1636}}}}}} articles are listed here. These articles meet the [[Wikipedia:What is a good article?|good article criteria]]: in short, they should be well written, stable, accurate, [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|referenced]], use a [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]], and wherever possible, be illustrated by [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|appropriately tagged]] [[Wikipedia:Images|images]]. Good articles may not be as thorough and detailed as our featured articles, but should not omit any major facets of the topic.
Currently, '''{{formatnum: [[Wikipedia:Good article statistics|1796]]}}''' articles are listed here, of a total of {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles on Wikipedia. That means approximately 1 in {{formatnum: {{rounddown|{{#expr: {{NUMBEROFARTICLES:R}} / 1796}}}}}} articles are listed here.

Good articles may not be as thorough and detailed as our featured articles, but should not omit any major facets of the topic (Compare '''good''' articles ''v.'' '''featured''' articles [[Wikipedia:Compare_Criteria_Good_v._Featured|here]]).


The process for designating articles as 'good' is simpler than that for featured articles. If you find or write an article meeting the '''[[Wikipedia:What is a good article?|criteria]]''', you can add it to the '''[[Wikipedia:Good articles/Candidates|candidates]]''' page for an impartial reviewer to assess and, if successful, add to this list. Articles are removed if '''promoted to featured status''' or delisted for not meeting the criteria: any editor can do this by following the '''[[Wikipedia:Good articles/Review|delisting]]''' instructions. If an article's nomination fails or it is delisted, pointers should be given on its talk page on how to improve it to reach the criteria. Disagreements can be resolved on the '''[[Wikipedia:Good articles/Review|review]]''' page. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles|WikiProject Good articles]] helps to maintain the process.

Good Articles in Wikipedia

About 0.1% of Wikipedia articles are Featured Articles, which have been thoroughly reviewed and designated as the very best of Wikipedia. However, there are also many articles containing excellent content but which have not yet reached Featured article standards or are unlikely at present to become featured due to very short length. So long as they meet certain quality standards and have passed through the Good Article nomination process, they may be listed as Good articles. (Results of disputes may also change the makeup of the list.)

Currently, 1,796 articles are listed here, of a total of 6,823,669 articles on Wikipedia. That means approximately 1 in 3,799 articles are listed here. These articles meet the good article criteria: in short, they should be well written, stable, accurate, referenced, use a neutral point of view, and wherever possible, be illustrated by appropriately tagged images. Good articles may not be as thorough and detailed as our featured articles, but should not omit any major facets of the topic (Compare good articles v. featured articles here).

The process for designating articles as 'good' is simpler than that for featured articles. If you find or write an article meeting the criteria, you can add it to the candidates page for an impartial reviewer to assess and, if successful, add to this list. Articles are removed if promoted to featured status or delisted for not meeting the criteria: any editor can do this by following the delisting instructions. If an article's nomination fails or it is delisted, pointers should be given on its talk page on how to improve it to reach the criteria. Disagreements can be resolved on the review page. WikiProject Good articles helps to maintain the process.

Good articles correspond to grade GA of the Wikipedia article Grading scheme.
