*A level-5 Vital Article on a broad topic. The low pageview count is likely due to underlinking and other poor integration (it's not prominent even on the [[networking]] disambiguation page) rather than lack of importance. The article itself is also in quite bad shape: unillustrated, with redlinks that should probably be redirects, an overly narrow definition of the topic, references that aren't fully converted to inline, etc. <span style="color:#AAA"><small>&#123;{u&#124;</small><span style="border-radius:9em;padding:0 5px;background:#088">[[User:Sdkb|<span style="color:#FFF">'''Sdkb'''</span>]]</span><small>}&#125;</small></span> <sup>[[User talk:Sdkb|'''talk''']]</sup> 00:49, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Shortcuts

This page is for nominating articles to be listed as articles for improvement, from which the weekly collaborations are pulled. Any article or list on Wikipedia can be nominated, although articles that do not meet the suggested criteria are unlikely to gain consensus.


Instructions

Suggested criteria

Though there are no firm criteria, in general, ideal AFI articles are:

  • Highly important topics. Anything that has top or high importance to a WikiProject is likely highly important.
  • Interesting to the general public. This can be evidenced by page views. Nominations with less than 200 views per day rarely succeed.
  • Needing of improvement, with expansion opportunity. Stubs; start-class, and short C-class articles are the most ideal for improvement. Give due consideration before nominating higher-quality articles.
  • Not targets of controversy. Keep in mind that controversial articles (articles that are the subject of heated discussion, edit warring, or questioned notability) can be very difficult to improve within a week.

Review process

  • Any user may vote on the suitability of nominations to be listed at AFI.
  • Please use the code #'''Support''' or #'''Oppose''', add your reasoning, and sign with ~~~~. You may also add comments. Improperly formatted votes may be missed by the bot.
  • MusikBot will mark nominations with at least 3 net support votes (3 more support votes than oppose votes) as approved and those with at least 3 net oppose votes as unapproved. The bot will automatically list successful nominations and archive all closed nominations.
  • Registered members of the project may choose to override the bot at their discretion in instances where straight vote totals do not appear to reflect community consensus.

Nominating an article

  1. Check that the article you want to nominate isn't already listed.
  2. Post the nomination at the top of the list in the appropriate category, using this code: 
    ===(Article title)===
{{AFI nom|article=(Article title)|class=unknown|hits=(Number of daily hits)}}
*(Nomination text) ~~~~
  3. Fill out the parts in parentheses. You can find an article's class on its talk page and its approximate daily hits using this tool.
  4. Please do not support your own nominations.

Nominations

Applied sciences and technology

Telephone line – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 196 daily hits

  • An obviously incomplete article that presently has only one reference. This can certainly be improved. North America1000 13:04, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Support A touch borderline on the pageview side, but only one source and so little text for such an important topic makes this a prime candidate for improvement. 92.24.246.11 (talk) 13:15, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support, A lot of issues and it can be expanded more. SVcode(Talk) 12:22, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Support - Could need the projects help. --BabbaQ (talk) 17:11, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. North America1000 11:09, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Arts

Tai chi – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 1000 daily hits

  • This B-class article has many issues present in this article ranging from additional citations to original research. SVcode(Talk) 18:22, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Oppose because it's already B-class. I think the article for improvement should be a start-class, so there's plenty of work to do. Still, I can't stop you from working on an article by yourself.
  2. Support. Despite the B-class assessment, I'm seeing lots of issues, indicating that that rating is perhaps optimistic, and it's a popular page. Things to work on include expanding the lead, converting list to prose, dealing with the weird lineage table, re-sectioning, etc. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 17:29, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Support per above--Ankit (Talk with me) 15:24, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Support My initial view corresponded with the unsigned oppose, but Sdkb's analysis has me convinced: Many hits and an optimistic quality assessment. 92.24.246.11 (talk) 17:41, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Everyday life

Geography

History and politics

Language and literature

Mathematics and computer science

Music

Natural sciences

Bull – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 1000 daily hits

  • Important article about a popular animal that's a mess. The article needs additional citations and compared to the goat, goat is much better. SVcode(Talk) 01:10, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Oppose because it's already C-class. It could handle a bit of improvement from a few editors, but it probably doesn't need to be in the spotlight for a large part of the community to work on.
  2. Neutral. Lead needs expansion, but otherwise looks like standard C-class. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 17:36, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

People/Companies and organisations/Products

Pork tenderloin – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 225 daily hits

  • This article can be expanded more and more references can be added and the prose could be better. SVcode(Talk) 16:56, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Support good candidate for expansion 92.24.246.11 (talk) 11:40, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support. Definitely not my favorite menu item, but hits justify need for expansion. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 17:37, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Support - indeed good article for possible expansion.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:41, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. North America1000 13:04, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Philosophy and religion

Society and social sciences

Human-centered design

Human-centered design – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 350 daily hits

  • An overly technical article with italics, bad external links, etc. that could use some cleanup and rewriting. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 04:01, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Support, looks bad and per nom so support. SVcode(Talk) 14:15, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support certainly scope for improvement here 92.24.246.11 (talk) 00:51, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Arson

Arson – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 824 daily hits

  • High hits, but little content relative to the topic's importance; much of what is there is a random jumble from a select few nations. 92.24.246.11 (talk) 22:58, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Support. Definitely needs globalization. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 23:04, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support, needs expansion and globalization. SVcode(Talk) 12:47, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
