Featured Article Nominees

These are all the articles that are nominees for featured article status. To become featured articles they must be reviewed, meet all the featured article criteria (see above), and a positive consensus about the nomination must be reached for it to become a featured article.

To nominate an article for featured status
  1. Before nominating an article, ensure that it meets all of the featured article criteria (see above).
  2. Place {{Featured Article Nominee}} on the very top of the articles talk page.
  3. Create a new section on the talk page of the article called "Featured Article Nomination" under which write a reason for nomination. Don't forget to sign your post using --~~~~.
To support or object a nomination

Please read a nominated article fully before deciding to support or oppose a nomination.

  • To support a nomination, write * '''Support''' — , followed by your reason(s). If you have been a significant contributor to the article, please indicate this.
  • To oppose a nomination, write * '''Oppose''' — , followed by the reason(s). Reviewers who object are strongly encouraged to return after a few days to check whether their objection has been addressed. To withdraw the objection, strike it out (with <s> ... </s>) rather than removing it.
    • If one feels that an "Oppose" has been addressed, they should say so after the reviewer's signature rather than striking out or splitting up the reviewer's text. One should not alter, strike, or break up comments from other editors. If a nominator finds that an opposing reviewer is not returning to the nomination page to revisit improvements, this should be noted on the nomination page, with a diff to the reviewer's talk page showing the request to reconsider.
  • To provide constructive input on a nomination without specifically supporting or objecting, write * '''Comment''' — followed by your advice.
