[edit] The nomination process

[edit] Requirements

There are some requirements that must be met before an article can be a good article.

[edit] Nominating user requirements

Any user can nominate and article as long as they are signed in under a screen name.

[edit] Article requirements

A good article must...

1. ...be well written and as detailed as possible, given possible content limitations
2. ...be unbiased, non-point of view
3. ...be sourced with all available sources and appearances
4. ...follow the layout guide
5. ...not be the object of any ongoing edit wars
6. ...not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc)
7. ...have a reasonable amount of red links; use common sense

A good article cannot...

1. Be too long! If it is then it may be turned down but can be nominated for featured article if it fits the separate criteria.

[edit] How to nominate

So, you have an article and it fits the above criteria, or at least you think it does. Now nominate it!

To nominate it simply start a new section underneath the nomination partition lower down on the page, this is done in the following way:

===[[Name of article]]===
'''Time of nomination:''' ~~~~~ <br />
'''Nominator:''' ~~~
====Support (Number of supporting votes)====
====Oppose (Number of opposing votes)====
====Comments====

Now simply vote whilst following the voting process given below, and wait!

[edit] The voting process

This section will list how to vote for good articles, and how the voting process works.

[edit] How to vote

Simply add *~~~~ under the relevant section. Users can vote as many times as they want (but only once for each article) and may move their votes on a specific article. For example, a user can vote for article one to be a good article, and article two, and can oppose to article three's nomination. However a user cannot vote both for and against the same article.

[edit] How long does the voting last?

The voting process lasts until 24 hours has passed since nomination, and until a good article monitor places a vote. Usually a good article monitor will have voted within a week of nomination at the latest. Nominated articles that are turned down for the status remain here until improved enough to gain the status.

[edit] How do the results work?

There are two sides to each nominated article; support and oppose. The side with the most votes wins, however there are some exceptions...

All opposing votes must have a reason, an article cannot become a good article until every problem is addressed. Cross out previous comments that have been addressed to show how an article has improved. Good article monitors may remove opposing comments if they are not related to an article being good or not.

If one of the good article monitors votes against an article's nomination, with good reason, then the article cannot become a good article for now. Good article monitors will check that any nominations match the criteria, if it does not then they will vote against the article's status whilst stating the reason.

[edit] Who are the good article monitors
