MicroWiki:Good articles/Nominations

Nominating an article

A user can only nominate one article per month. Nominations should NOT be made just to ask for advice on improving an article. If you would like such advice, please ask for it in the MicroWiki Discord.

1. Click the tab above the page labeled "Add topic" to create a new post.
2. Do not add a post subject!
3. Add the following template and nothing else, supplying the parameters for your signature, the title of the article you're nominating, and optionally, a comment:
   {{subst:Gan|Article name|~~~~|comment = Optional comment. ~~~~}}
4. Save the page.

If you see a new level three section with the name of your nominated article as well as your signature (and a comment, if you included one), then you've successfully submitted a good article nomination.

Voting on nominations

Please familiarise yourself with the following criteria prior to voting. A good article is one that is:

1. Well-written: its prose is engaging, coherent, clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct.
2. Comprehensive: it neglects no major facts or details, is of substantial length but does not go into unnecessary detail, remaining focused on the main topic.
3. Accurate: it is well-researched and its claims are verifiable and not in dispute.
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without bias.
5. Illustrated: it should, where possible, be illustrated with appropriate images with succinct captions.
6. Well-structured: it should have a concise introduction that summarises the topic and a system of hierarchical section headings with a substantial but not overwhelming table of contents.

This should be followed by your message, and a signature. There is no need to ping the nominator.
